It doesn’t really matter *why* Trump’s desire to destabilise & divide Europe precisely mirrors Vladimir Putin’s - whether kompromat, self-interest, naked bigotry or something else l. What matters is that Europe treats both regimes like the enemies of progress & democracy they so clearly are.

It’s like The Dice Man, but the dice are stacked to be actively malign and stupid.

I prefer it when ‘Traitors’ describes the TV program, not the people potentially electing the next government.
2024 Reform UK voters are also less likely to describe themselves as anti-Russia (48%) than other voters (66-79%)

Once again we have another ‘one of these groups is not like the others’ graph.
Strikingly even current conservative voters are most likely to say it’s best for UK national security to align with the EU - along with majorities of Lib Dem, Labour and Green voters while Reform voters are more likely to say it’s safer with the Commonwealth/CANZUK or the US

“I’ve said it time & time again - we need to leave the ECHR” says Reform candidate Matt Goodwin
The ECHR protects us all. The rights within it – firmly implanted into UK law by the Human Rights Act – are the reason why families devastated by disasters like Hillsborough could demand justice

Surely by now we can all see that Reform is a party that thrives on division, fuels anger, and uses the scapegoating of minorities to gain support.
We are so much better than that.

Rubio just made a speech to the European defense community in Munich that did not mention Ukraine. Or democracy. Or US business deals with Russia. Or the administration's plans to support the European far right. But there were lots of nice words about our common civilization.
