Donald Trump has launched a crusade to convert European politics to his cause, mobilizing the full force of American diplomacy to promote “patriotic” parties, stamp on migration, destroy “censorship” and save “civilization” from decay.
Watch out Europe, Trump is coming for your elections next
MAGA’s mission to meddle in European politics should terrify Starmer, Macron and Merz. Will any of them fight back?

FML - this fawning before the over-sensitive king is embarrassing for the world.
Many countries have fought revolutions (and in the UK a civil war) against monarchs & tyrants in order to get away from this ridiculous kind of self-abasement before egos of foolish leaders.

NHS to pay 25% more for US drugs
That's an extra £3 billion a year
Why?
Because Brexit, taking us outside the EU, makes the UK weaker than if we were inside the the EU

Starmer: “Brexit vote was a fair, democratic expression, and I .. respect that .. But how it was sold and delivered was simply wrong. Wild promises were made”
If the result was obtained by misselling, then it was not an informed decision and hence not democratic.

Why are Tories not being hauled over the coals about this.
They said 350m could be saved and given to NHS.
They didn't say how much the country would lose from lost trade, lost investment, lost EU grants, EU funding, lost knowledge (eg on sharing crime data)
Yet Labour getting trolled at budget.

That’ll be that “special relationship” working again. Don’t for one moment think the US thinks of us as an ally. We’re an imperial asset to be bled dry whilst being told it’s for our own good.
EXCLUSIVE: The UK has agreed to raise how much its National Health Service spends on new drugs, in a concession made under pressure from the Trump administration in return for tariff-free access to the US market.
