There are going to be limits to what you can make other countries do by threatening to tax your own citizen's purchases of their products.
I believe handing over entire territories falls well beyond those limits.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Completely agree. A lot of Conservatives seem to think 'we are in bloc politics now' is a get out for 'therefore be as rightwing as we want' while not absorbing that you do, actually, need to be the clear leader in your bloc for that not to be the route to death.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

Britain has talked itself into a flat tailspin. Had weeks of ppl telling me that the country's on the verge of catastrophe. In reality real wages are rising and the economy growing. God alone knows what ppl would say if we went back to the early 80s, 17% interest rates and four million unemployed.

Despite what we are often told, this line from Mamdani’s inauguration speech is what true pragmatism actually looks like:

Green party leader says he could see potential for political partnership with Labour under Andy Burnham
The Green party leader, Zack Polanski, has said he would refuse to work with Keir Starmer but could work with Andy Burnham, Starmer’s potential rival for the Labour leadership, to keep Reform out of power.
