A full moon glows orange over a marsh. It has risen between a break in the treeline and is reflected in the water. Several Sandhill cranes fly across the face of the moon.

What he is saying to him is that his stupid policies are transforming the rest of the world in ways that would have been hard for them to do before. It’s not a compliment but a realization that US policy is self defeating.

Wondering now if the Isle of Man would consider giving more thought to the notion of Full Autonomy/Independence. I reckon there could be a Commonwealth of Celtic Nations within these Isles that would benefit us all.

Once again, the Telegraph seems shocked that the EU is acting like… the EU.

This is exactly what sovereignty looks like when you’re on the outside.

Ruthless EU has just taught Starmer a painful lesson
