Do you know those 1930s burlesque entertainers, whose act consisted of swapping the position of fans or balloons, so fast that nobody could see their fanny? Well, here is Nigel Farage trying not to criticise Trump and Vance's disgraceful treatment of Zelenskyy.

It might be time to stop treating Farage as if he's some sort of special confidante of Trump. The human skid mark hasn't got a clue what's going on in the White House, as the Chagos situation demonstrated, or what on earth Trump will do next.

WOW. After yesterday’s Oval Office ambush of President Zelensky, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway’s leading marine fuel providers, announced that it will no longer refuel U.S. Navy vessels, urging other European firms to follow suit. The United States is weaker and more isolated than ever.

The foreign policy of a nation often reflects its leader. Our foreign policy is now churlish, acquisitive, brutish, impulsive, reckless, callous, boorish, expansionist, shallow, ignorant, exploitive, nasty, dishonest, manipulative, corrupt and unethical. A reflection of our president.

Another mad element of that press conference is that Trump & Vance were ordering Zelensky to thank them personally for aid that Joe Biden had provided. All while insulting Biden & ignoring Zelensky’s frequent previous expressions of gratitude.

A timely moment to remember that Donald Trump dodged the draft & JD Vance wondered a few short years ago whether he would turn out to be 'America's Hitler'...

I’ve watched enough mafia movies to know that if you’re gonna shakedown a pillar of the community, you do it in private, you make it clear they’re not to tell anyone, maybe you put a couple of your goons on the front door so no one comes in. Because it’s shameful. You don’t do it on live television

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.

If the US were to decide tomorrow to cut off intelligence & satellite connectivity, effect on Ukrainian military operations would be debilitating."

If you look at the catastrophe unfolding and one of your reactions is to gloat to me or attack Starmer, let me save you time. The fact that the Zelenskyy meeting went horribly wrong, does not invalidate every effort to give it every chance to go right. It was a long shot and still worth taking. 1/2

Something that’s very clear is that Trump is old and checked out. He wants to play the role of president but has zero interest in doing the job and is happy to outsource the real work to Musk, Vought and a crew of feral zealots.

The grip of protecting the wealthy & powerful is so tight on this government - that not even the memories of those who died in a burning building can make them do the right thing. Beyond shameful. Thoughts with all the families who are still having to fight for justice.
