It’s slightly misleading as the Schengen but non EU area should be a colour too so it is very obvious that only the uk and Belarus are really isolated and even Belarus might be a member one day once the real Government is released from prison or exile and they are free of the dictatorship

Congress just gave $900 billion to the US military in case you were wondering if there were any repercussions for blowing up civilian ships on the high seas. Meanwhile, the FIFA peace participation trophy guy still manages to keep the Epstein list out of the headlines.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

Denmark has labeled the United States as a potential security concern for the first time in an annual report released by one of its intelligence agencies, offering more evidence of the increasingly fraught transatlantic alliance between Europe and the US.

Really disappointed that AGAIN, the Lords blocked the Employment Rights Bill last night...despite it being a manifesto commitment.
The creation of more peers yesterday might go some way to addressing this when it next gets back in the Lords...but I fear it still may not be enough.

Indeed. Completely over the top reaction IMO.
Yes there was a shooting and of course it’s a personal tragedy but let’s face it, there are so many shootings in the USA the rest of the world is mystified as to why the “most powerful person in the Free World” whoever it is) seems powerless to stop it.

Baroness Mohan just complained about an “establishment cover up”after a court judgement against her.
She really hasn’t a clue. How on earth do self entitled people like her get anywhere near being in Government? Good advert for abolishing the unelected House of Lords in its present form though
