Joly's right: no-one can control Trump, but Canada alone will make its own decisions.
Hoekstra - diplomatic imbecile, bully & needs to learn international relations 101.
Weirdly, has no European view despite Dutch born!

(NBC) So, DHS says that they DO have body cam video of the killing of Ale Pretti in Minneapolis? Got to see it to believe that is the case. But if yes, have to compare to handheld camera video.

Whole continent of #Europe mourns loss of #USA to dark forces, authoritarianism, neo-imperialism, oppression of freedom & international criminal lauding.
Perhaps we should pay for a cargo ship to take her back east where she'd feel more at home.
What a disaster for everyone.

#Farage - meet Posh George #Cottrell - convicted criminal up to no good in Montenegro, mostly. #Reform is surrounded by bigots, racists, dinosaurs and liars. Georgie still fundraises & is known associate of Tommy Robinson et al.

Yes they're terrified. Aside - Labour vote in Bristol in the doldrums; Debonnaire was chucked partly because she was arrogant & complacent. Norris is an embarrassment and Darren Jones despite a healthy majority, not well liked.
#Gorton is one nail. The coffin is unfortunately lined up.

What's the outcome that terrifies Labour most in the Gorton by-election?
Reform winning?
Nope. It's the Greens they're most worried about.
They'd prefer Reform to win, rather than the Greens.

So, that distance east of the New World, an illegal immigrant is apprehended in #Kent, UK. He's given a glass of water & later, help. In MN a US citizen is shot in the head.
