In fairness, your average cocker spaniel could outsmart Trump so there is that…

Starmer is an extraordinary bad communicator. Even if I agreed with the immigration white paper I’d still be cringing listening to this turgid speech.

I have armbands!

When fascism hits unsend but the internet is forever.

Do they even read the files they post?

Britain, a trading nation, now has a vital choice to make about its priority trading partners: - the EU, where agreements are made, kept, reciprocal, based on international norms, & enforced by a court - the USA, where agreements are made, broken, changed & broken again at a whim, with no recourse

This is the most important moment for Britain's relationship with Europe since the day we left the EU. The battle is here now. It's upon us. We are about to find out if Keir Starmer will deliver on his commitment to Europe....

At least now I understand how he bankrupted a casino

The good news is that the world is done with this unhinged lunatic. They’re not going to back down from him. None of us should.

Europeans' belief in the importance of the EU has surged to record levels, according to a survey released yesterday. 74% now say their country benefits from being in 🇪🇺 - up from 50% in 2010. And the biggest reason is about security, *not* the economy. europa.eu/eurobaromete...

Fair question.

Germany is lobbying hard for the UK to enter a customs union with the EU not least so it can participate in a huge increase in EU defence spending. But the UK refuses to abandon its Little England Brexit stance. Another mistake in Starmer’s catalogue of errors www.politico.eu/article/germ...

He knows a thing or two about taking down evil empires…

The TESLA (a/k/a "TESLER") TAKEDOWN is working... WORLDWIDE! Turns out people really resent an unelected weirdo running our Government & creating economic chaos. Hit Elmo where it really hurts: in his big, fat wallet. If we #TankTesla, It's Ex-X! (a/k/a Twitter) #WinWin Visit www.takedowntesla.com

I mean, even the Brexitgraph must see the irony here!

“Why don’t you wear a suit?”

He’s right about one thing -this will be one for the history books but not for the reasons he thinks! 🍊🤡

It is time to end the special relationship with Trump Donald Trump in the White House: a relationship with a dishonest sexual predator and convicted criminal isn't a relationship. It's abuse @chasmanthium.bsky.social

This always deserves a play… youtube.com/watch?v=7__F...

This reality show premise of finding the dumbest MFer in the country and making him president isn’t going well. Season 1 sucked. Season 2 is much worse.

It’s hard to see how Trump and his flying monkeys can keep these antics up for the next 4 years…

I suspect the speech tonight will be one of the great abominations in American history. We’ll see how that prediction goes. I pray I’m wrong.

Trump never had a peace plan for Ukraine. He had a plan for Ukraine's surrender, with a colonial resource grab. As Zelenskyy rightly refused it, or to cooperate in Trump's TV spectacular, the US has now cut Ukraine off. That's what blackmail looks like. That's what the world is up against.

I can’t believe I’m actually agreeing with Kemi Badenoch. It’s a funny old world! #bbclaurak

Important to take the week as a whole. Statement from Dominic Grieve:

He is not just appeasing Putin, he is aligned with him. And every single client journalist, political shill & public/online cheerleader on both sides of the Atlantic is too. Against Zelensky. Against Ukraine. Against freedom. Against the most basic tenets of decency.

Silver lining: Europe became a Union yesterday. 🇪🇺

We must make aligning with the EU a priority even if conditions for rejoining are still a way off…
