Putin says Trump must go further before he’ll even agree to meet. Putin is entirely in the driving seat. The US has alienated its own allies, given Russia nearly all of what it wanted, bought Putin’s warped view of reality, and can’t even guarantee a meeting. The art of the deal, indeed.

This from Boris Johnson, attacking Donald Trump's critics for daring to suggest that the President of the United States shouldn't outright lie to us, tells us everything we need to know about him

🔥 NEW: “Former Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said that Prime Minister Keir Starmer is wrong to stick to Labour’s “red lines” of keeping the UK out of the European single market and the customs union.” I agree entirely.

This is all illegal and unconstitutional. I just can’t stop saying it. This administration is likely to dismantle all of the programs I worked with over the last 25+ years. Programs designed to save lives and $ by applied climate science. Used by many 1000s of Americans to manage water, energy, etc.

1. A common mistake is to look for ideological consistency on the far right, and to become confused when some of the things it claims to stand for sound positive and even progressive. Here’s a thread on how to understand this. 🧵

Volodymyr Zelenskyy, "Does America need Europe? As a market? Yes" "But as an ally? I don't know" "For the answer to be yes, Europe needs a single voice, not a dozen different ones" "We must build the closest possible relationship with America, but as Europeans, not just as separate nations"

Zelensky is being forced to plead with Trump that his own country, which has spent so much blood and endured so much horror, is allowed to be at the negotiating table about its own future. That's where we're at- a return of great power politics. Putin's best week in years.

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

This is, by some distance, the most unforgivably stupidest thing the government is doing. An easily sellable proposal, which would actually help Brits, and unlocks meaningful negotiation. Irrational and anti-growth.

Trump is a thug, a bully and a gangster. This is what statesmanship looks like: doing what's necessary to protect your country's interests, but keeping open the hand of friendship and hoping for a day when the US will return to its senses.

This sad-sack cunt is about to get a brute lesson in reality. Canada is a proud, brilliant country. It'll never be subsumed into the US. Instead Trump is going to damage his own economy and crater his support.

If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it We cannot allow them to rewrite history. If you agree share this FACT CHECK widely youtu.be/MUrf7addcTA?...

Great conversation with @sturdyalex.bsky.social & @pimlicat.bsky.social here - I just couldn’t stop yapping 😅😅 5 years on from Brexit pretty much everyone agrees it has been a mistake. Especially imo how it contributed to the resurgent far right anti-migrant politics we’re fighting today.

“There is no reasonable Right, any more. It doesn’t exist. We keep thinking that we can compromise with these people who hate us, that we can split the difference. But we can’t.” The best damn political conversation you will hear today. @zoejardiniere.bsky.social was the most stimulating guest.

Goodwin spreading misinformation over on the other place again. Same old debunked rubbish. Foreign born & British nationals are presented here as two different groups. Obviously they are not. I am a foreign born British national. So is Boris Johnson. But it makes a nice dog whistle.

Two polls show Brexit and threat of Trump are transforming Britons, drawing them closer to Europe and away from USA. These findings make it even more absurd that Labour govt desperate for growth remains so reluctant to take up offers to alleviate Brexit difficulties. archive.ph/2025.01.25-0...
