No Jonathan, the U.K. can not do any deals with a Dictator in the White House.

In the USA do you have the right NOT to stand for the oath of allegiance? Free speech and all that.

martandelus.bsky.social•15 days ago

Well, JD (Joker Dunce) Vance should zip it, because the despots he's defending were doing cancel culture on human rights abuses. Yet he says nothing about that, because he doesn't really care. It's all about the money for any conservative.

Well he's not wrong to try. The US has been our main ally for decades. It would be short sighted to give up & ditch it at the first hurdle.

The fucktard says that, but over Palestine - there was to be no deviation from thr US policy.

Grow some balls ffs and stand up to the thick bullies. We are better than this.

stephenbln.bsky.social•15 days ago

How apt.

angrydigit.bsky.social•15 days ago

There’s being diplomatic, then there’s wimping out.

mantascox.bsky.social•15 days ago

Allies are the people who have your back when the enemy is at the door. They can’t be both. Any kid in the playground can tell you that!

solentrach.bsky.social•15 days ago

Why are we so frightened of losing the 'special friends' status when it is in name only? We should be distancing ourselves from the US all the time this unstable administration is in power.

emucr.bsky.social•15 days ago

I think we can all agree that JD Vance is an utter moron.

geor65.bsky.social•15 days ago

Dumb ass answer’ get back in Europe and forget trump land 😡

catpawsc.bsky.social•15 days ago

He didn't look at all comfortable. Mind you going on the LK show and getting VD instead is enough to make any politician wobble. 😁 They should make the swap permanent.

mrrobertbob.bsky.social•15 days ago

Russia, that famous bastion of freedom of speech. 🙄

rhinomni.bsky.social•15 days ago

Or the US, for that matter, where they are banning books.

Just like the medieval Catholic Church used to do.

durotrig.bsky.social•15 days ago

'close allies' what delusional nonsense

exludo.bsky.social•15 days ago

Freedom of speech, no biggie.

babshbruce.bsky.social•15 days ago

Spineless bunch of tossers!

crypttext.bsky.social•15 days ago

Bollocks!

AP News agency….

backosaur.bsky.social•15 days ago

This is "freedom of speech" married with a desire to ban library books.😄

fenners69.bsky.social•15 days ago

Nothing like standing up to bullies eh? Especially bullies with sweets!

zaphodbeeblebr0x.bsky.social•15 days ago

Nope.

evies13.bsky.social•15 days ago

Oh dear. We cannot be friends with fascists. Just as we cannot keep a pet shark in the bath.

mavismoggie.bsky.social•15 days ago

Labour and this government need to grow a pair. The corpse of the UK’s “special relationship” with the US is rotting in plain sight since Trump took over, we can’t wait for the stench of it to overpower us.

pag10.bsky.social•15 days ago

Thank god Jonathan Reynolds wasn't part of the government back in 1941.

We'd all be speaking German now.

willd99.bsky.social•15 days ago

Let me know when Jonathan Reynolds grows a pair of balls.

joseph-yossarian.bsky.social•15 days ago

What an absolute plank

andreala66.bsky.social•15 days ago

We don't have a close relationship with the US, they see UK as a piddling nation crying for their attention not an equal! @labouruk.bsky.social need to take the threat of Trump Administration and it's support for far right seriously and thoroughly reject the destruction it is wreaking on own Govt!

exuk.bsky.social•15 days ago

Gone past being diplomatic, just tell Trump/Vance/Musk to fuck off

iain.clucas.uk•15 days ago

Weak statement. This special relationship has always been quoted but in reality it's not as special as those closer to home.

oliathain.bsky.social•15 days ago

Such a naff answer, who is this buffoon

scarlethood.bsky.social•15 days ago

I think that’s a pretty fundamental disagreement tbh

asleepinyorkshire.bsky.social•15 days ago

Of course we can disagree on some things. This isn't one of them. Vance was spouting propoganda because his boss Elon Musk had told him to

clearlight.bsky.social•15 days ago

Appeasing fascism probably isn’t a great idea

Unfortunately when you have a political-media class that self-selects for people with a compulsion to lick the jackboot ….
