You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

It might be time to stop treating Farage as if he's some sort of special confidante of Trump. The human skid mark hasn't got a clue what's going on in the White House, as the Chagos situation demonstrated, or what on earth Trump will do next.

The House of Commons showing right now that British politics, on certain fundamentals, is in a far healthier place than in the US. No polarisation, on this at least a commonly accepted set of realities and truth, and near unanimity against tyrants and for freedom.

Starmer, in reply to Farage in the Commons: "Can I just remind him that Russia is the aggressor. Zelensky is a war leader whose country has been invaded. And we should all be supporting him and not fawning over Putin."

And to think we could have had a sane, serious government run by an intelligent person who would have acted in the best interests of Americans, and not Vladimir Putin.

It’s scary figuring out that the system is rigged.

It’s easier to believe that you’re just not working hard enough than it is to accept you’re being screwed over by those at the top.

It's been obvious since January 6 that he was an enemy of the USA, the UK & the whole of the free world. Everybody still in his camp understands this as completely as everybody against it. They just prioritise personal interest over the national & international. And they know it. They all know it.

These are dark days. But for Starmer, the collapse of the old order is a moment of political promise. He can use it to remake his premiership and the continent: new political space has unfolded before him in every direction.

Will he seize it? New writing from me.
