The US started out as an experimental democracy when the UK was a bog-standard 18C monarchy. Much changed over 250 years. Now, ironically, the extent to which the US president’s role was modelled on the monarch’s makes it vulnerable to a president like Trump yorkshirebylines.co.uk/politics/an-...

I would like to see a few British broadcasters read out every word of Trump’s latest ‘statement’ live on air & then remind us of their often lavish statements of support for him & then share some of their supportive words for Ukraine. And then we can all watch their brains explode…

If you thought Chamberlain’s appeasement of Hitler was a disaster, wait until you hear what 47 just did. We are in the upside down, and our friends in the West are understandably stricken with horror. My write-up: https://buff.ly/4b5ULIe

Feels a bit like Jan 6, except this time without the naïve belief that everyone would abandon Trump once his depravity became undeniable.

Trump does not respect bootlickers like Nigel Farage . Standing up to Trump is the only way to make a deal with him.

What a pathetic, culture-war-bullshit response to Vance’s speech. So deeply unserious. Ignoring entirely the glaring threat we face from these strutting little American despots, treating us all like pawns in the power games they want to play with Putin and Netanyahu. But she’s incapable of better.

Similar with one of my children, catching typhoid in Asia. Fortunately, I had made sure she was vaccinated and the boosters were up to date. A terrifyingly serious illness. Vaccines save lives.

A Telegraph journalist does not accept that judges make decisions according to the law, rather than the imbecilic whims of uninformed newspaper proprietors.

Only the richest 4% of people pay Inheritance Tax. Only the richest 1.5% of farmers will pay HALF Inheritance Tax spread over 10 years. This is a protest funded by the obscenely wealthy who want to pay no tax at all.

If Ukraine is forced to surrender its sovereign territory to Russia, it will be the greatest betrayal of a European ally since Poland in 1945. The UK must lead in Europe in defence of Ukraine. We cannot stand back and watch as Zelensky is bullied by Trump.

The Nazi billionaires tell you to hate immigrants. But it’s not the immigrants who are taking your jobs. It’s the Nazi billionaires. Their end goal is to replace you with a much cheaper labor force: AI and robots.

🚨 BREAKING: A federal judge has blocked Trump from firing U.S. Special Counsel Hampton Dellinger, the watchdog enforcing ethics laws and protecting whistleblowers. A major blow to Trump’s war on accountability. Obama and Biden-appointed judges are defending our democracy.

Prohibition doesn't work. It never has. If there is desperation, people will always find a way. To eliminate people smugglers - give people safe, legal routes to seek asylum. Stopping small boats without alternative safe routes only reinforces the usage of people smugglers. Labour KNOW this. 👊

This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP. It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next. 1/ open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

I'm hearing that Tractors don't have to pay congestion charges in London. They are the most congestion causing, pollution pumping and most importantly completely unneccesary vehicles in London. What is this two tier nonsense? They should have got 10x congestion charges.

Exactly this. Just 2% of Musk's wealth could feed the very poorest and most desperate people in the world. He could use his money to do extraordinary things - and could go down in history as a hero. Instead he has deliberately chosen to be an evil, villainous dick

The evil thoughts, proposals and actions from Musk and Trump are mind blowing. Surely even Americans will want to reject the outrageous Gaza ‘plan’.
