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.

This was the day that Charlie would do his podcasts about how black people had it so good until MLK ruined everything with the civil rights movement.

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.

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🧵

"The US has 31 permanent bases and 19 other military sites across Europe as part of the United States European Command. That includes at least 67,500 active-duty servicemen, with the lion’s share of those stationed in Germany, Italy and the UK."
Time to dump Trump? Europeans whisper last-resort options to save Greenland
The alliance is already broken, officials say, so why not threaten to cut ties with America on military collaboration?

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...

80 years of post WWII alliance and relative world peace has had the downside of lazy European dependency on Uncle Sam. Instead of paying attention when Trump first scammed himself into power but no. The Tories were too busy selling us down the anti European river with Brexit. Listen to Polanski.
When we said NATO wasn't working we were derided.
When we said a nuclear weapons system relying on the US is dangerous we were called stupid.
The truth is the establishment are more interested in kissing US feet than keeping the UK safe.
It's time for a rethink.

This is pretty much the only post anyone should need to understand that Farage is a traitor, a conman and a populist simpleton who must *never* be given power.

Let’s invest in the UK’s future by avoiding making ourselves dependent on American techbro monopolies. Where we work with them there need to be firm legally enforceable safeguards that protect our individual personal data from harvesting and misuse or non consensual exploitation outside the contract
Palantir was a warning sign.
Keir Starmer choosing to hand our data and security to US tech companies is an outrageous failure of judgment.
All in the name of "investment." What about national security?

Sorry this is so facile - A European Security Alliance.
What is that?
Even if we allied ourselves into a single defensive entity the scale of difference with the USA or Russia or China is unsaleable. Even if we were to turn our countries into total war economies we couldn't catch up enough.
