When Churchill visited the White House in World War II

Imagine if Roosevelt had behaved towards Churchill in the way Trump and Vance behaved towards Zelensky

No deal with Trump is worth the paper it is written on He, like Putin, won't keep it. Look what he is doing to Canada and Mexico

This is thuggery from Trump and Vance, plain and simple. They are bullying the brave true patriot Zelensky into accepting a deal which effectively hands victory to Russia. Unless the UK and Europe step up, we are facing a betrayal of Ukraine.

That fabled USA hospitality kinda sucks if you come from Ukraine

USA has become a rogue state

Withdraw Trump's State Visit invitation

The world needs the USA but Trump needs to learn that the USA needs the world much more.

Please President Zelensky don't sign a Minerals deal with the USA. Offer one to the UK and EU instead where you are not bullied but treated with respect. Bullies like Putin, Trump and Vance shouldn't be allowed to prosper

Just boycott USA goods.

Sale of used electric cars hit a record last year as prices fell www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Trump signs order to bring back plastic straws. In itself it seems like a small thing but when you consider the impact that the dumping of single use plastic is having on the planet it sends a really bad signal for the future of the natural world. This guy doesn’t care. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Handily this research document came out in last few days. Those wishing to scrap our ECHR rights and the Court need to understand that it exists to protect all of us from the abuses of the state. commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-bri...

Would #Trump offer up some of Wyoming to accommodate 2m Palestinians?

Councils expected to hear today whether they are in the devolution priority programme or not.

I mean let's give the latest #Trump statement on #Gaza its proper name - it is called Ethnic Cleansing. Shameful

Yesterday in a debate about employment support for parents of seriously ill children, I told the story of Kat, mum of Teddy from Hassocks whose own employer was really supportive, but for many parents this is not the case.

If anyone believes that the UK will get an even-handed trade deal from the USA they need to take a reality check.

Trump will only be #Potus for 4 years. Sadly,for the #USA his approach to trade & global relationships will have long term consequences for them. If the world concludes that the US is an unreliable partner countries will forge partnerships without them.

Perhaps we should have a public enquiry on #Brexit so that we can hold to account everyone responsible for this massive economic and social failure.

Watching #BBC Countryfile tonight. Exposing what a disaster #Brexit has been.

Canada and Mexico hit back with retaliatory tariffs on US as Donald Trump risks trade war news.sky.com/story/donald...

Basically it is a form of warfare. Using economic power to bully other nations into submission. That's what #Trumps recent trade tariffs amount to. But it is also a problem for the #USA. The world's economy is more diverse. We have choices

#Brexit impact on UK is worsening www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

#Labour if you want to kickstart the economy take these 3 steps: 1. Join Customs Union with EU 2. Become a member of the EU Single market. 3. Rejoin the EU The drag on growth began with #Brexit. Recognise that and you can repair the damage to UK Plc

Almost 7000 construction firms in danger of bankruptcy according to insolvency firm Begbie Traynor.

Sort of question I'd like to see asked at PMQs. "With Trump declaring that Canada should be the 51st State of the USA what message of support will the Prime Minister give to the Canadian government and the King's Governor General and what warning will he give to incoming US President Donald Trump?"

Who'd have thought that Article 5 of the NATO treaty could be triggered by one NATO member (USA) invading another member(s)? Keep your hands off Greenland and Canada Mr Trump.

Who'd have thought that western democrats would have to say 'I stand with Canada, Greenland and Panama'

My message to #elonmusk and #nigelfarage on #freespeech: it isn't back because we never lost it. However, free speech absolutism (as espoused by Musk) is hugely dangerous. Free speech is not to be confused with a 'free-for-all'
