Calling Zelensky a “Dictator” must be where the line is drawn. It is my sincere hope that the whole political spectrum in the United Kingdom will speak with one voice in opposition to Trump’s lies.

Vance & Trump are both clearly enemies of Europe. Which is fine. That will only make us stronger and force Europe to become what the world needs it to be. ✊🇪🇺

J.D. Vance is lecturing Europe on democracy, while Trump is cosying up to Putin. You couldn’t make it up.

Can we just stop the silly games and get on with the inevitable alignment with the EU? Most of Britain wants it, and many of these young people would have been 16 or 17 at the time of the referendum and denied a say in their own future. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/yvette...

Economic interdependence A definition: The entanglement that exists between countries as a result of industrialisation. This can have many positive effects, but can also be easily disrupted. Trump is destroying the U.S. economy whilst eroding its political influence & legitimacy.

Germany and France said borders must not be changed by force after Trump refused to rule out a military takeover of Greenland. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot warned "Trump should not threaten EU's borders." Europe must form its own army for under Trump, the US is a potential enemy.

Any attempt at freeing up trade with the EU will end up on the rocks of the insistence that we do not join the Single Market. Labour have to drop this unrealistic barrier and make real advances. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

A lot of people think everything will work out if we just play by the rules but don’t seem to recognize that rules only matter when everyone agrees to follow them and, well, that isn’t our present reality.

A U.S. - U.K. trade deal is never going to happen, given U.S. agricultural practices. That aside, why would we even consider doing a deal with a Trump administration that is more aligned with Russia than NATO?

Had a tough week. Last week’s blood test revealed high levels of PSA, so had MRI scan on Monday (looks OK) followed by a prostate biopsy on Tuesday. Results expected in 2-3 weeks. I would urge anyone from a family with a history of prostate cancer to get checked out.
