I shouldn't even have to say this, but precisely *no one* in the independent journalism sphere is saying that Trump can *legally* cancel the midterms.
So corporate media should put on its thinking cap and ask themselves what independent journalists *are* saying.

Starmer’s US policy lies in tatters. Trump is now punishing the UK and NATO allies just for doing the right thing.
Time for the PM to stand firm against the bully in the White House, and work with European and Commonwealth allies to make him back down from this reckless plan.

No Kemi, Trump threatening to invade a NATO ally is not a "second order issue."
It’s a direct challenge to Britain’s security and the future of NATO.
