Trump and Hegseth are trying to intimidate me into silence. After 25 years in the Navy, I can tell you — that's not going to work. This is about defending everyone's First Amendment rights.

This is unhinged. A 75 year old alliance in NATO is being trashed to serve one man's ego.
Trump is not a reliable ally, he's a reckless bully. Starmer needs a plan B to stand up for Britain and our allies.

Keir Starmer must come to Parliament today and make it clear that Britain stands with Denmark against Trump’s threats.

First Venezuela, next Greenland?
You don't suck up to bullies like Trump, he will just see it as a sign of weakness.
Keir Starmer needs to get on the phone to our European allies including the Danish PM, and show a united front against Trump's threats.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Welcome to 2026. Where the world order as we knew it seems to be over. What next? Taiwan? Greenland? Balkans?
The U.K. must double down on its relationship with the EU. For it is Europe alone that is now leader of the free world.

The US attack on Venezuela is an illegal act of aggression against a sovereign country (with lots of oil). Venezuela has become a more deeply repressive dictatorship & urgently needs democratic solution but this is unjustified & unjustifiable. Look forward to seeing swift UK Government condemnation.

The fact that the FTSE is at a 'historic' high means nothing for the majority of the population.
What actually impacts us is the cost of living crisis, energy company & supermarket profiteering, crumbling public services, and ever-increasing #inequality.

AOC exudes star quality, yet she’s not carried away by the power/ fame. She remains very down-to-earth and solid on the inside. What will she bring to Congress in 2026?👀
