Unlike Chess, the game of Mornington Crescent takes just minutes to master and a lifetime to learn the rules.

A la John McEnroe, I cannot be serious
Because it was a promise, and Trump never yet met a promise he could keep?

He meant “rare” earth minerals as he was talking about the treaty with Ukraine.

But he said “raw” about 5-6 times over a few sentences.

Suggesting he didn’t know it was “rare” and (more scarily) no-one had ever corrected him

He sees the world divided into 3 regions lead by himself (hence Greenland, Panama and Canada), Xi and Putin

So in a world of three, you have 1 allay and 1 enemy. China is the enemy, hence Putin is his friend

This is the guy who passed King Charles’ letter back to Starmer to read having looked as though he couldn’t read it (he didn’t react to the contents whilst “reading” it)

He’s also the guy who banged on about “raw” earths in the meeting with Zelenskyy

I’m in the UK but guttted to see the podcast and website brutally pulled like this.

Following you here to find out what you do next.

Thanks for all the clear-eyed analysis. The irony is we need it now more than ever

I’ve been an avid website reader and podcast listener since around 2015.

I’m in the UK, but your data driven analysis has kept me informed all through these turbulent times.

We need more clear-eyed data journalism, not less.

You’ll be sorely missed. I’m following you to see what comes next.

Sadly no, because $200bn buys a lot of “get out of jail free” cards

“Bikkies” with a k?

Oh dear oh dear, I expect more from our parody accounts

He has everything he wants to give thanks for right there. And let’s face it, he won’t be there much longer
