It is preposterous for Donald Trump to say he no longer feels an obligation to peace…

Does the FIFA World Cup World Peace award not mean anything anymore?

You've got to admit he's good at distracting everyone from the Epstien files, which he is clearly in big time. Up to his weird neck.
Look, Greenland! Look Venezuela! Look, Minneapolis!
I haven't forgotten about the Epstien files, have you?

I spoke to the Secretary-General of NATO, Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, Friedrich Merz and Giorgia Meloni.

Together we stand firm in our commitment to uphold the sovereignty of Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark.

It’s a real shame that Nigel Farage is too unwell to do interviews the morning after Donald Trump threatens us with sanctions.

Here he is with “the bravest man he ever met”. He campaigned to make Trump President, and has spent the last year enjoying all the chaos he has caused.

The PM must tell Trump in no uncertain terms: if he goes ahead with these outrageous tariffs and continues to bully Greenland, there’ll be no state visit to the US in April.

The UK must not be a doormat for an extortionist, or reward Trump’s behaviour with the pageantry he craves.

I think the White House badly underestimates the strength of the pan-European folk memory of 1930s appeasement, and how deep it still cuts. I suppose this is what happens when you learn in school that WW2 started in 1941 in Hawaii.

We now have a full-blown European-American crisis, and for no reason that the president is able to articulate

These so-called "patriotic" 🇬🇧newspapers who brought you Brexit were never really patriotic at all.

They are driven by a disdain for Britain's European neighbours, and a fawning obsession with America.

They do not really want 🇬🇧 to be sovereign. They're content being a 🇺🇸vassal.

According to Alastair Campbell, what should European leaders say to Trump about his Greenland quest?

“Do one, Donny.”

Starmer needs to finally stand up to Trump.

He should visit Greenland and show the world that Britain stands with NATO and stands with our allies when it matters.

📌At his core, Donald Trump is nothing but a weak, fragile baby who was never loved, and has spent his entire life making that everybody else's problem.
Taking a secondhand Nobel Peace Prize and calling it his own, has to be the single-most pathetic thing I have ever seen.

It’s good that Elon Musk has backed down in the face of consequences.

But he must still be held to account for what he is: a purveyor of child pornography.

🔥🇪🇺 “Europeans enjoy more free time than Americans, a higher life expectancy and lower levels of inequality – all with roughly comparable productivity.

Whichever way you look at it, this is a significantly superior economic performance.”
Decline, what decline? The myth of dying Europe
There is a widespread view that, by comparison with the USA, Europe is in economic and social decline. But, Zucman argues, it's not true

The National Crime Agency should launch a criminal investigation into Elon Musk and X.

We cannot stand by and wait for him to do the right thing while people are being abused and exploited.

Nadim Zahawi arrived in the UK from Iraq as a child refugee. His family claimed asylum once they were here. Today he has joined Reform who will stop all in country asylum applications. Under his new party, his own family fleeing persecution would be immediately deported.

Amazingly, Zahawi only got round to deleting the below after the press conference announcing his defection to Reform.
