Brilliant but devastating editorial in the Financial Times. “In the past 10 days, he [Trump] has all but incinerated 80 years of postwar American leadership. If you are not at the table, you are on the menu. America has turned.”

Putin “loved Brexit, cheers on the far right in Europe and backed Trump because he wants to see the crumbling of the western bloc that has stood firm against him. For a US president to follow that script….is a huge win for the Kremlin” Trump-the traitorous patsy. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The leader of France’s far-right quit CPAC over Nazi ideology. Meanwhile, Farage happily embraces the Nazi at the same event. Says a lot about champagne fascist Farage. #ukpolitics

The Express has rediscovered another benefit of Brexit: the need to queue up and surrender biometric data at EU borders. That particular pleasure may be back on the agenda later this year, after being delayed a number of times. www.express.co.uk/travel/europ...

So, Farage struts around on stage in the US, slagging off the UK and the EU, blaming anything but Brexit for us being poorer and unhappier and crawling up Trump’s backside… What a repulsive spectacle he is. If you actually could be put in prison here for ‘saying anything’ he’d be my top pick.

It's no coincidence that Musk's companies are soaring in value as the regulatory agencies that were investigating or suing them are being gutted. The DOGE agenda isn't about "efficiency" — it's about Musk freeing himself from any accountability so he can line his pockets.

As Trump capitulates to Putin Russian TV broadcasts how its submarines would target American cities with nuclear missiles. Why are Americans especially Republicans not protesting loudly and publicly at such traitorous nonsense or are they bought and paid for?

Why GBNews should be banned in the UK. It’s foreign owned, funded by Russian oligarchs in Dubai supporting its right wing owners. Registered as an entertainment channel this needs to be revoked so at least it comes under News channel rules. Making huge losses its only function is misinformation.

More evidence of harms inflicted by private equity on US healthcare. Usual pattern: profiteering, hiking debt, low investment, poor patient care and safety. Yet UK NHS being handed to private equity without any evidence, 30%-40% public money vanishes in profits. Money buys less.

Trump's is not a peace plan. It's a surrender plan. And reparations are traditionally paid by the aggressor, not the victim. Really! It's a shameful abrogation of leadership by Trump.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Brexit: “that great victory for the sovereign right to cock things up”… give ourselves food poisoning, lose control, swamp ourselves in red tape, pay more for stuff and stubbornly isolate ourselves from our own continent… A relentless, ruinous stupidity. (Private Eye)

Zelenskyy press conference: “The war cost Ukraine $320 billion, of which $120 billion was paid by Ukrainians, and another 200 billion by the US and Europe.” Figures Trump is bandying about are false. Europe contributed more than the US.
