Taco is trying to fracture the EU, just as his master Putin tried to fracture the Union with Brexit
So in other words, Trump is trying to weaken the EU by driving a wedge between Italy and Brussels just like Putin did with Brexit. I actually believed the story when it first appeared – so the news outlets that reported it as true should be ashamed.
The US Ambassador should be called in.
News conferences at national and EU level to denounce this as misinformation.
Instead, a meek denial will not reach the public.

This should be huge!💥
Reports that Italy is preparing to weaken the EU by negotiating its own trade deal with Trump is a lie placed in the media by Trump's regime. The Italian government "firmly rejects the allegations, stressing that international trade negotiations are an exclusive EU competence."
In the UK, any alteration to a historic public building requires public notification, a moratorium to allow the public to log objections, a review of the plans by local authorities, or Parliament, & a vote (or multiple votes) before any work is carried out.
In the US, a mad old man says "me want!"
Oh, please, let the "Epstein Ballroom" name go viral. Taco will be apoplectic
The restoration & modernisation of the Palace of Westminster (the estate of the Houses of Parliament) is underway, but it took years of discussion, arguments, proposals, objections & many votes in both Houses just to approve the plans.
No man can just simply alter or extend public buildings here 🇬🇧
The late Virginia Giuffre worked at Mar A Lago before she encountered Prince Andrew on Epstein Island. She was 16 and 'worked' in Trump's 'spa' on the island.
What is wrong with America? You don't need the files. You have the testimony written down by a victim.
A victim who was driven to the grave
No one is asking what pressure the White House is applying to stifle any REAL investigation.....and what exactly was the 16 year old Virginia's 'job' at Mar A Lago

Questions about what Palace knew in Andrew scandal show no sign of going away
Will there be pressure on the Palace to reveal any information they hold on Prince Andrew and Epstein?

We had 40 years of drip feeding, with stories of straight bananas, fishermen wearing hairnets, and headlines like "Now the EU wants to ban your toaster".
All complete bs, of course, but it was ramped up to 11 during the Referendum campaign.
Papers were sanctioned in 1975 for lying (EEC Referendum)
Only slightly over ⅓ voted for Brexit, just under ⅓ voted Remain, the other ⅓ stayed at home.
Millions of Leave voters now regret their vote
"Most"? The doommongers are forecasting a Reform government based on only a possible 30% of the vote. Our skewed and archaic FPTP system MIGHT hand him 300 seats based on that %age

The US should be taken as a warning for the people living in capitalist "democracies". Wherever you are, it CAN happen there.

Fascists build power, in liberal democracies like the US, by pointing to the very real failures of capitalism, and blaming them on the least powerful people in society, to redirect attention away from the Henry Fords and Elon Musks who are actually causing the problems.

This is not a new pattern 1/

@zackpolanski.bsky.social is right. Brexit was a disaster that broke trust and left Britain weaker. Now the same voices want us to leave the European Convention on Human Rights. We should have learned by now what happens when we trust them.

Tbf …. getting Reform meetings confused with The Traitors is quite easy 🤨

Reform have suspended 4 cllrs on Kent CC after the leaked video exposing their divisions.

Lib Dems say Reform's meetings "sound more like an episode of The Traitors than the running of a major council."

"All that's missing is for Claudia Winkleman to appear & ask who they're going to banish next."
We wouldn't have room in our prisons. I still don't understand why Johnson didn't go to prison following the taped conversation with Darius Guppy

Why would @teamlabouruk.bsky.social not put this in place instantly? Could it be they are just as bad as blue tories and so fkn corrupt that they would all be arrested? What happened to transparency?

Is it increasingly likely?
Reform is making a total hash of "running" the councils, losing at least one councillor every week since May. Kent is in disarray, Worcs. paralysed.
What people tell pollsters years ahead of an election is not voting intention, but to put two fingers up to the Gov't
If conditioned by decades of right-wing headlines like "EU to outlaw breathing" and "EU immigrants ate my hamster."
Those are jokes, but "EU tries to ban your toaster" was a very real front page
