More British exceptionalism here. It's really bizarre. We are irrelevant here, just like everyone else. But we are also dependent on the US for our security. The real world choices are to do as the UK and other governments are doing or follow the US in, as the Tories and Reform would do. That's it.

Yet again today, the far left on BlueSky found 100 reasons why this is actually all Starmer‘s fault. I feel like I’m stuck watching the film The Hill every day of my life.

A small point on a dark day, but it's amusing to see Vance trying to find a facial expression that appears loyal while at the same time signals his disapproval of Trump's actions.
