JD Vance says US hopeful of ‘great’ trade UK - “well we thought your queen was so cute, and you speak English” condescending ignorance, give me a Commonwealth, EU and Canadian deal ahead of some piece of paper signed by these grubby little gangsters

Vance & family move to an undisclosed locaction because some Volvo drivers turned up at a road side and stood politely with some signs. Zelensky has stayed in a warzone for three years with a target on his back and asked for ammunition when offered a way out. You don’t look so tough now do you JD?

A smart deal would be for Europe to invest more in defence, the US to buy lots of the weapons the Europeans make, invest more in USAid & still save more than Musk will cut through a smaller defence budget. Not a chance…& as a thought experiment, interesting to see how far from a sane outcome we are.

I spoke to two young women in London yesterday, who were visiting for a friends wedding. They were embarassed to admit to being American. I tried to reassure them, let them know that after Brexit, the British could empathise, but its so sad to see the malign influence Trump’s new régime is having.

It’s depressing to pick up the newspaper daily and start with the ravings of the git of an old pub bore in the corner - Trump says Gaza ceasefire should be cancelled if all Israeli hostages not freed”

Whoever came up with the name for the callow software dev team Musk has at DOGE busy stealing data - “The Shitler Youth” has won the internet today

Once upon a time in America.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

Trump warns Americans that tariffs may cause ‘pain’– US politics live - the schmucks that voted for us can take the pain, me and the billionaires I care about won’t….so who cares

Experts urge caution over use of Chinese AI DeepSeek…says Oxford Professor - conveniently forgetting how close the US Owners of AI engines are to an increasingly authoritarian US that is grumbling at the protections I have in Europe- we’re between a rock and a hard place…

youtube.com/watch?v=ZTT1... Where are Jake and Ellwood when you need them?

The “blitz” of executive orders…pardon a lynch mob and withdraw from the organisation that’s charged with fighting diease…will he get around to the constructive stuff or is that in the too difficult box?

Cheer up…today is peak Trump but he’s a depreciating asset starting today.

Continuing airstrikes having agreed a peace deal in principle. Well, if that doesn’t meet the definition of murder by a morally evil group of people, then I don’t know what does.

www.instagram.com/reel/DEkXEXP... once you’re done laughing; she’s onto something…Trump assumes that the USA will remain united….why? The politics are bought and paid for by billionaires and half the country hates the other half. Does Trump risk a new secessionist movement?

Is there nowhere today that one can avoid Trump, Musk and Zuckerberg…? Even the bloody football pages had something about Musk buying Liverpool.

Weird metamorphosis going on in 10 Downing Street? There’s no doubt that Trump is Baron Greenback, let’s hope Larry the Cat has not eaten Dangermouse!

Nigel Farage suggests MPs should debate rolling back abortion limit - lets be clear, the only reason he thinks this is worthy of debate is because his MAGA funders want him to.
