Thought for the moment: with his announcement on Greenland today, Donald Trump has become a far greater territorial threat than Vladimir Putin. Greenland is 3.6 times bigger than Ukraine. It's as if Putin wanted to annex the entire land masses of France, Germany, Spain and the UK – 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘥.

The EU and the South American bloc Mercosur signed a free trade agreement on Saturday in Paraguay

This is the European Union's largest ever trade deal, creating a market of 700 million people

When will this Brexit nonsense end and sanity return to UK politics? #RejoinEU

Ursula von der Leyen, "We are creating a market of 700m. We chose fair trade over tariffs, partnership over isolation"

While Keir Starmer's Labour carries on with making Brexit work, partnering with an unreliable USA under Trump who bullies, extorts and exploits

Daily Beast: ICE kicks off 2026 with record-setting detainee death toll. Five people have died in ICE custody in the first 15 days of 2026.

It's hard to watch Trump & GOP's continued disregard for human life. 💔

Kyiv.
Emergency situation in the energy sector.
Since last night, the curfew has been eased so people can reach the Points of Invincibility (public warming and charging shelters) anytime.

We hold on.
But let’s not forget: we’re made of flesh and blood, just like you.

On May 10th, Macron informed Trump that Ukraine had accepted his ceasefire proposal.

Putin flatly rejected it.

​Trump responded by shifting the goalposts. His reversal sabotaged the very ultimatum European leaders had traveled to Kyiv to deliver. He later blamed Ukraine.

So reciprocal tariffs and boycotts on all US goods until he stops threatening to colonise a peaceful European-owned country
Trump says he'll impose a 10% tariff (rising to 25% in June) on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands and Finland, because they've sent people to Greenland, until the US can buy Greenland.

Superb article. Others have pointed out various options such as closing bases, dumping US bonds etc. However, the EU dithers, we're still pissing around with Russian sanctions 1500 days after the after the invasion. There needs to be a trigger to pull that literally puts all this in motion, bang!

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition,

The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance
