Trump admits that his tariff policy amounts to putting trillions of dollars on red at a casino, and hoping the roulette wheel lands right.
Imagine going ahead with a policy so vastly expensive without securing the clear legal mandate to do so.

How is it that Labour are gearing up to do exactly what the Tories did, and trying to bounce MPs into voting for a Brexit deal before its parameters have been defined?

Trump's already making noises about taking Greenland.
Meanwhile Starmer is giving interviews saying there's no relationship more important than Britain's relationship with the USA.

Trump's in full "say the evil part out loud" mode. Makes it explicitly clear that he ordered the US into Venezuela to take their oil.
Meanwhile Starmer is still in wait-and-see mode. Jelly is like concrete next to him.

Chocolate teapot Keir Starmer just can't bring himself to condemn Trump's actions against Venezuela.
Cowers behind "establishing the facts" even though there's endless videos of the attacks on Venezuela on social media and Trump explicitly boasted that the US went in and captured Maduro.
Shameful.

Lengthy anti-rejoin editorial in Morning Star, singing the praises for Brexit.
A reminder that the scourge of Lexit is alive and kicking, and that extreme delusion is not the exclusive preserve of the Right.

Two Express articles about the Gibraltar deal, published a mere 4 days apart.
Apparently it's both a massive Brexit betrayal and a huge Brexit win.

Remember when Starmer was screaming about how the UK was first to reach a deal with the USA?
A) Nothing was actually signed off
B) Surrender is not a deal
Now we're seeing the cost of such cowardice, as the USA come back again and again with unacceptable demands for Labour to accept.

An astonishing article in the Daily Mail.
Not only does it admit that some Romanians have left Britain because of growing discrimination after Brexit, but it also talks about the EU grants they've been able to access to start or boost their businesses back home.

As I (and thousands of other people) predicted, Labour's non-deal with the USA wasn't worth the paper it isn't printed on.
Starmer set Britain up to be Trump's chew toy.
Absolutely catastrophic to have traded our EU membership for this turbocharged farce.
