Bluff and double bluff. But does the USA have an inside man in Greenland ready to leave the back door unlocked? Will 80 dead European troops and civilians be as casually dismissed as dead Venezuelans and Cubans? Will there be a heavier price to pay than a half dozen non lethal US casualties?

The acronyms ICE and IDF are increasingly interchangeable, it would seem. Coincidence?
If ICE had anything to do with enforcing the law, they wouldn't be breaking our laws, attacking the innocent, letting people die, or be taking trophy photos of their victims.

We can’t criticise Trump for imposing punitive tariffs, which are actually a tax on American importers and consumers and then do the same when it would be a cost burden on British shoppers. Better to just officially boycott American goods.
Weak, weak, weak. This appeasement must end.

Starmer should be uniting with our allies against Trump's threats, not splitting off to suck up to him.

Trump’s a bully. The whole world apart from the far right fringe of psychopathic self servers like Farage and Orban agrees. The question is why did world leaders let it get to this and what are they going to do now? Stand together and stand firm, that’s what.

"Invading Greenland would end NATO"

"If it ends in an economic war it would further his the cost of living"

Farage fancies himself as an A-lister at Davos but the real people will be asking him to get them a coffee and empty the ashtray
For well over a decade, Nigel Farage criticised Davos and just two years ago criticised Starmer for going and calling him a

"full-on globalist, hanging out with his mates at the World Economic Forum."

So, question. Where do you think Nigel Farage is going today?

I’ve been stalwart backer of transatlantic alliance all my life. I understand why Europeans have so far trod softly/tried to keep Trump onside. But, there comes a time when you have to face reality. The US is no longer our ally. Its defense guarantee is worthless. Time to kick ass back🧵

Farage is on the run. He won’t appear in the same political show as Polanski. That says it all. Farage is a man of straw, one good puff and he disintegrates.
Week by week - Laura Kuenssberg is interviewing the party leaders.

When I agreed to come on the show, I was told Nigel Farage was also doing it.

He's now pulled out - and they've sent the deputy instead.

The same Nigel Farage who's refusing to debate me.

A pattern emerging...
