I think that the USA belongs to the UK and was stolen from us in 1783. We need it back for our national security. Especially it's valuable natural resources like McDonalds and KFC.

Why are the grown ups in the USA allowing the criminal in the Whitehouse to risk the fall? Do they not understand world economics?

Average FTSE 100 CEO took less than 3 days to earn what a typical UK worker will in all of 2026.

Just 2 hours for the highest paid CEO.

Median FTSE 100 CEO pay is £4.4m, 113 times the median earner.
No relationship between exec pay and performance.

Coming to the UK if Farage and Badenoch get the chance. I wish I was joking.
Woman arrested live on air by Donald Trump's thugs just because she says she doesn't want her tax dollars used to commit war crimes in Venezuela.

This is far worse repression than they have in Venezuela.

Well, that was expected and clear before the #Brexit vote in 2016. However, politicians like leading Brexiteers Boris #Johnson and Nigel #Farage managed to twist the narrative by playing on fear, but both without any solutions or alternatives.

This morning's task is checking if I still have any investments in the USA hiding in my pension funds and then making required adjustments to avoid investing in a rogue nation.

Chilling warning from a Trump-aide.

”the U.S. will use its military “unapologetically” to secure U.S. interests".

“nobody is going to fight the United States militarily over the future of Greenland.”

"Western countries should not have given up their empires and colonies after WWII".

Madness.

The debate in the UK as to if Trump's aggression broke international law is quite revealing. Politicians feeling the need to hide behind diplomacy confirmed that they know that it does. #awkward

My prediction for the New Year is that Donald Trump will slowly become the most unpopular President in US history and he will find a way to cancel or rig the mid term elections if he looks like losing them. This man is no real ally of Britain

Denmark's prime minister tells Donald Trump to "stop the threats" about taking over Greenland.

King Donald wants to expand his empire and be the master of the universe, create mayhem and destroy NATO.

The US isn't a reliable ally. Europe must take charge of its own security.

Absolutely this thread.

The lack of spine from this government on rule of law has let down the UK hugely.
There are MANY issues with Starmer’s messaging. But I always thought this govts best and easiest bet was to become THE government of the rules and fair play. Led by a former lawyer, lean into fairness, equality, law and order, justice for workers, respect for international law.

With the USA turning into an imperialist aggressor led by a war criminal and rapist it's time to end the 'special relationship' that sees 21st Century UK kowtow to fascists.

Trump has used Putin and Netanyahu as his role models, that's how low the USA has fallen. Truly shameful and another war crime.

There seems to be some *confusion*
among Reform supporters over Nathan Gill being one of them

“But, but, Reform didn’t exist when he took his Russian bribes”

“But, but he was in UKIP”

“But, but it has nothing to do with Farage, he barely knew the guy”

So here’s a little history lesson 👍🏼🧵

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.
