"In many cases the friend is worse than the foe" Trump says. If my friends were Elon Musk, JD Vance, Vladimir Putin and Nigel Farage, I’d probably feel the same way.

The UK and our NATO allies will never forget the sacrifice of 43 Danish soldiers in Afghanistan after 9/11. But it appears JD Vance has.

The Tories really trashed the country didn’t they? So badly, that nothing can fix it. Brexit, Austerity, Trussonomics…. But the Tories and Reform wander around the USA crowing how good they are.

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.

This is a bigger scandal than people realize. It really makes it look as though this entire meeting was a setup by Trump that was planned in advance. If you watch the video it is clear that they are deliberately and almost derangedly blindsiding Zelenskyy. Now we know who the audience was. Putin.

In decades to come, statues, parks and streets will stand to the example of President Zelensky. Trump will stand only as a reminder of the worst excesses of entitlement, stupidity, evil, and privilege and how collectively they brought about the Downfall of America.

Fairly sick of the sight of simpering British politicians trotting over to America to talk down our country in front of a bunch of braying MAGA fascists If you don't like this Britain, why not go and live in your beloved Trump’s America. (AM I doing this right)

Just arrived in Paris for crucial talks. Europe’s security is at a turning point. Yes, it is about Ukraine—but it is also about us. We need an urgency mindset. We need a surge in defense. And we need both of them now.
