Quite irritated by this Love Actually description about UK-US relations. It is not about having a tantrum in public then getting twatted for it. It's about taking concrete action to reduce UK dependency on a country which no longer respects us or shares our values.

I'm amazed by this but not surprised, sadly.
This opens up wider questions about how far the UK and Canada in the 5 eyes intel sharing framework as well as other former allies of the United States can still provide the Americans with any sensitive intelligence information at all

Anyone got a website that helps me make sure I can reduce / remove my use of American companies?
Give alternatives for big ones and / or point out ones I should avoid (I've got Starbucks on my 'no' list don't worry 😉 🤣)

Sorry good people of the USA but Europe needs to stand its ground now.
I hope your President buckles like the coward he has always been.
That no lives are lost.
And your communities don't get turned upside down by a collapse of the dollar that any move for Greenland will likely result in.

The Government is planning to send King Charles to the US to celebrate with Trump. Giving him a royal visit right now sends a terrible message that his behaviour is acceptable. We can stop this if enough of us speak up. Will you add your name to the petition? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...

Good morning.
A regular reminder: a tiny few hoard staggering wealth and own much of the media, while millions struggle to survive.
That’s not an accident. It’s a choice made by those in power.
Tax wealth. Fund public services. Build an economy for everyone - not the 1%.

Finally now our priority should be, better bloody late than never:
We need INDEPENDENCE from the USA.
That means security independence, economic independence, digital independence.
It isn’t easy but we have no choice.
That should be our number 1 goal.

Spray paint a plane and they'll detain you without trial and call you a terrorist.
Kidnap a foreign head of state - and Keir Starmer will make it clear we've played no part in it but will wait for the scheduled press conference in a few hours before potentially condemning it

Bill increases of nearly a third for millions of ordinary people have helped Thames Water's profits soar to over £400 million. Foreign hedge fund lenders want more power to pollute our waters and raise our bills. Privatised water is a scam. Let's bring it back into public hands.
