Compare & contrast. This is Trump’s demand for Greenland. And this is Hitler’s for the Sudetenland.
There is no difference. The language. The unstoppable need to dominate. The megalomania. It’s the same.
And Keir Starmer’s response is appeasement. We are in that moment.

He’s the antithesis of a decent Englishman.
He’s sly, he’s divisive, he has, at best, a tenuous relationship with the truth.
His avarice for wealth and power knows no bounds.
Many of his acquaintances have friends who wish this country ill.
Yet, the ignorant fawn over him.

Welcoming a 10% Trump tariff rate as a ‘Brexit benefit’ is like being grateful for a full tank of petrol after all the wheels have fallen off your car.
Brexit has made us poorer and weaker, wiping £140 billion from the UK economy. The lower tariff rate is a drop in the ocean.

Nuffield Trust says supply chains have shifted, with drugs for epilepsy and cystic fibrosis among those now scarce
