Hope that middle bit is signalling that they can kiss that icebreaker goodbye

Also long live Europe

Off to ski while we wait for Trumpissimo to wake from his nap and sh£t on everything.

Ursula mentioned icebreakers 3 times in her speech at WEF
First how we build them - yay Finland
Second - how we are supplying them the US -🤔
Finally as Defence spending on EU icebreaker capacity - yay

OK she got better:
Compares today to the Nixon shock and collapse of Bretton Woods

We must recognise this change is permanent
No nostalgia
No playing for time
No hoping for a reversal

Unwavering commitment to Ukraine. This shiba approves

Black ice! We need a bucket. A pavement. And Trump wearing his platform shoes.

Even from a purely theatrical perspective, Starmer's tribute to Badenoch for offering cross-party support would have carried more weight if Conservative MPs had been there to cheer it.

There was a missed opportunity here to speak with the authority of Parliament, not just of a single embattled PM.

Pragmatic solution to a toddler tantrum?
I am all ears
