New - Nigel Farage has been found by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards to have made 17 standards breaches, adding up to over £380,000 in late declarations.
He’s apologised, so no further investigation (which seems unusual for a breach this large)

The problem when trying to rehabilitate Trump’s attachment to old European alliances is that his politics and character are aligned with the dark forces that had to be defeated for those alliances to exist. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Donald Trump is not forgetting America’s old alliances – his goal is to destroy them | Rafael Behr

starting to wonder if there might be some downside to the most senior people who cover the British government having no frame of reference beyond "westminster horserace", if I'm honest lads
Why is Donald Trump changing his mind every five minutes and saying completely mad stuff an embarrassment for Keir Starmer? It feels like it should chiefly be seen as an embarrassment for the United States.

Important perspective from Greenland.
This! A hundred times this
Frankly: it is ridiculous that Russia (population circa 145 million, awful demographics, GDP of about the same size as Italy) is a security threat to Europe that requires US help to manage. But it currently is.
Reversing that is the first aim. And very very achievable.

This is how the English used to criticize the king. Twas not the crown but his evil counsellors at fault.

Just reflexively oppositional, YOU NEGOTIATED THIS DEAL! If you'd not held the election when you did, Rishi would have signed it. YOU WERE IN THE FOREIGN OFFICE AT THE TIME.
This is (1) disgraceful at a moment of national danger, (2) laughably unserious and (3) deeply unwise when the President is obviously becoming incapacitated and the most unpopular person in the whole UK. Utterly disqualifying.

I can’t imagine what it would be like to be a news correspondent asked: “And what are we to make of…?” then the latest piece of demented nonsense Trump is peddling. As if it’s something that can be analysed or rationalised and not just something that makes you want to run screaming from the room.
