Hey British media, It’s no surprise that if you give Farage the run of the place, he’ll start winning. Time to do your actual jobs and start interrogating him on his Brexit shitshow, his funding, his Trumpiness, his idiotic manifesto, his real plans for the NHS… instead of drumrolling him into No.10

A truly stunning result for the Canadian Liberal Party. Mark Carney (with a lot of help from Donald Trump) has secured one of the greatest comebacks in electoral history. Liberals are up seats but so are the Conservatives. NDP rout. Libs likely a minority and will have to work with others.

The IMF forecasts a major slowdown in the global economy due to Trump’s tariffs. UK likely to be hit harder than the rest of Europe. How TF is going cap in hand to the same guy to ask for some crappy not-worth-the-paper-it’s-written-on trade deal a sane solution? Come on UK. Work it out.

Not enjoying the JD Vance piece on #r4today.. “There was a strong sense he sees Britain as something rather different from Europe, wasn’t there?” Of course. We’re much more desperate and exploitable on our own. Stop looking for a ‘special relationship’ in the fake flattery of ugly nationalists.

Europeans don't need ugly American cars. They have governments that are forward-thinking, which provide buses, subways, and high-speed trains, unlike America, which would rather order another aircraft carrier it doesn't need than help its citizens get to work.

I mean… Isn’t that repulsive? On every level. Ignorantly and vindictively unleashes untold damage on the citizens of America and the world, shatters trust with America’s allies and cosies up to their enemies… then, without a care (or thought) in the world, spends the weekend playing golf.

CBC/Radio-Canada is a pillar of our Canadian identity. We’re going to strengthen our public broadcaster with more long-term funding, and a modernized mandate — to deliver more local news and keep Canadians better informed during emergencies.

Trump's tariff attacks on the UK will cost jobs and harm British business. We must put ourselves in the strongest position to protect our economy and boost growth. The best way to do that is a UK-EU Customs Union.

Simple answer to dumb #Trump desire of putting more #American #cars on #European roads: their “vee-hic-als” are too darn large, #fuel consumption is expensive & excessive, they’re also deadly to pedestrians. Say NO to huge SUV’s (let’s call them “Stupendously Unnecessary Vanity vehicles”).
