And while I'm on it, considering the magnitude of events, the tightrope gov't is trying to walk, and their earnest declarations of patriotism, it is at best naive for farmers to go ahead with some tin-eared “no pancakes without us” protest - let alone the Leader of the Opposition attending. AT BEST.

JD Vance is currently claiming that his obnoxious comments about France & the UK planning to put 20,000 peacekeeping troops on the ground in Ukraine had, wait for it, nothing to do with France & the UK. Doublespeak, dipshit or both?

Trump seriously believes that he is going to be given credit for forcing a surrender by Ukraine to the Russian invasion. Apparently, he thinks he is going to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

A surprising number of people seem to think Trump tanking the world economy is some sort of grand plan. The alternative, which his business career suggests is likely, is that he hasn't a friggin' clue what he's doing.

Trudeau: "They're talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin- a lying, murderous, dictator. Make that make sense. Canadians are reasonable and we are polite. But we will not back down from a fight...Canada will be implementing 25% tariffs against $155b of American goods."

Standing there proudly in a Union Jack suit, while your leader vigorously defends a foreign politician who has just dismissed Britain as a "random country" that hasn't fought a war in forty years, is quite something

You probably read this weekend the government was watering down the workers rights bill. Having looked at the amendments, there’s no weakening of anything, in most cases it’s been toughened up. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Canadian PM Justin Trudeau: "We're probably going to keep booing the American anthem. But let me tell Americans, we're not booing you, we're not booing your teams, we're not booing your players. We're booing a policy that is designed to hurt us. We're insulted. And we're angry."

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

It's time to end the Trump denialism and admit that the US is no longer Europe's ally. Why while Keir Starmer's attempts to be an "honest broker" with Donald Trump have been well-intentioned, it is now clear they are doomed to failure bylinetimes.com/2025/03/04/d...
