Struggling to understand how any American could continue to support this ghastly caricature of a president.
Here's Trump saying Rob Reiner is dead because he made people mad with his "Trump Derangement Syndrome."
Absolutely insane.
It's a real post by the president of the United States, who has the nuclear codes.

The sooner we can wean ourselves off reliance on the US the better. Giving Ukraine the frozen Russian assets would be a good start…
On Russian state TV tonight, a headline (until recently) you wouldn't have expected to see. "USA-EU: Cold War." Moscow clearly enjoying tensions between Washington & Brussels, as well as the new US national security strategy that's more critical of the EU than of Russia.

Whose project? Look to Peter Thiel, Palantir, Project 25, and the unfolding plan to break up Europe from within.
🚩 🚩 Freddie Hayward’s reporting shows that Farage speaks very differently in Washington than he does in Britain - aligning himself there with explicitly Christian nationalist and civilisational rhetoric.
🚩🚩🚩This raises serious questions about whose project Reform really is.

“…look beyond the politics and the hate. The finances [crypto] are key as is tech, particularly an unregulated AI landscape.” Brilliant piece: pulls together why the rise of the far right is being pushed so hard by big tech and rich elites.

The Trump administration plans to require all foreign tourists to provide their social media histories from the last five years to enter the country.
Yes, I said TOURISTS — not immigrants. This is insane. It will DECIMATE the U.S. tourism industry.

Foreign tourists could be required to disclose 5 years of social media histories under Trump administration plan
The Customs and Border Protection proposal would apply even to countries that don't require visas to enter.

It’s clear that Farage and his funders are all about self-enrichment and unchecked power. That’s it. They don’t care a jot about ordinary working people. Just like Trump, they despise voters who fall for their blatant lies and nationalist tactics designed to sow division and hatred.

Absolutely.. government should be calmly articulating the benefits to the UK of legal immigration. Time to be bold and put some clear water between themselves and Reform on immigration rather than chasing them down far-right rabbit holes.
The unravelling of Reform's xenophobic and half-baked proposals on ILR would be ideal time for Govt to say its own proposals, which I described as "not just unfair and vindictive, but economically irrational" will *not* apply retrospectively to migrants already here.

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.
As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.
