For UK patriots the Reform Co seem obsessed with a foreign country and its leader who is extremely unfriendly to us.

The far right love free speech but only for their distasteful views. For everyone else…..not so much.

Watching the egotistical, self-publicising antics of Trump and Musk you would be forgiven for thinking the Americans prefer pantomime to politics.

Trumpian America has reversed the meaning of the word truth. Agree?

The far right seems determined to misappropriate the word patriot and turn it into something distasteful.

A word to the wise for the US. Bullying and diplomacy are opposites not synonyms.

When NATO needs a leader the muppet in charge of the US goes missing. He’s so concerned about impressing his base he couldn’t care less about his standing in the world. It’s time to ignore this isolationist fool and develop a new world order.

Lasting peace in Gaza will not be the result of ethnic cleansing.

Trump’s behaviour towards his neighbours is no different to Putin’s and yet he expects a different outcome.

I wouldn’t mind seeing #RejoinEU trend on here.

Sadly a rise for the right wing across the globe creates problems for the climate and all environments.

How are normal Americans reacting to the weird shit happening over the last couple of days ?

Patriotism isn’t cheering on a foreign leader who has threatened your economy, politics and environment.

Do the Americans realise that the British either see Trump as a figure of fun or a threat. Apart from some right wing zealots no one admires the bloke.

Question. Is it a case that the further right are the more fantasist you become ?

Kemi Badenoch wants to end the triple lock for pensioners soon after complaining about better off pensioners losing their WFA. Does Kemi Badenoch have a clue about what she wants?

Why is it the far right and conspiracy theorists can spot and amplify any problem……except climate change?

A definition of passive aggressive. This is a whinge by dominant people that they didn’t get their own way for once.

The only thing endangered by woke ideology is selfishness.

Imagine the future under Trump. You could wake up with the polar bears in the 52nd state (Greenland) sail down the coast and have a short break at Halifax in the 51st state (Canada),go around the Florida Keys into the Gulf of America and cross to the Pacific through the American canal! Barking!

Do Americans have any idea how daft the country looks as Trump makes his wild and puerile rants?

In other news, Nigel Farage didn't bother to turn up to the debate on grooming gangs in the House of Commons just now

There’s nothing more destructive for the far right in the UK than the half baked opinions about UK politics from the far right in the US. Such a shame.

Anyone spotted the latest manufactured criticism of the Labour govt using grooming gangs which were active during the Tory administration this time. This rolling programme seems to be orchestrated.

Why would an unbelievably rich foreign guy want to interfere in UK politics? Seemingly with a very sketchy idea of what is involved.
