Another cracking episode from @thetrawl.bsky.social by @marina-purkiss.bsky.social @jemmaforte.bsky.social
It talks about Greenland being leaned on by Trump for his mates’ benefit.
The quoted Guardian article pretty much confirms it, along with a new, not-so-well-known donor.

National Security!
It all started with a phone call in Trumps 1st term, former national security adviser Bolton says Trump called him into the Oval Office to say that “a prominent businessman had just suggested the U.S. buy Greenland” later identified as billionaire Ronald Lauder who's also a donor!

The sight of Trump’s son in law declaring his ‘vision’ for Rafah and Gaza with zero input from any Palestinians turns my stomach.

The news is mad. Dystopian. Surreal.
The US President is unhinged & dangerous.
Putin’s being left to his own devices.
A Dane said ‘fuvk off’ in Parliament & it felt appropriate
Macron’s being tough…in aviators.
Netanyahu and Putin have been invited onto a board of peace. Ditto Blair

Starmer maybe rightly doesn’t take bait each time but he needs an outrider - a semi-licensed “off message” attack dog - to make Haw-Haw Farage pay for sucking up to the guy who denigrates British war dead.
Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

457 UK armed forces personnel died in Afghanistan during the 20-year deployment.
This is a fucking hideous thing to say. Even by his non-existent standards.

£450 a flag spent by Reform councils! No wonder they’ve had to put up council tax. Just one of the facts I learned in this week’s @thetrawl.bsky.social (also - I’m backing @jemmaforte.bsky.social and @marina-purkiss.bsky.social for the new presenters of Strictly).
