Perhaps Nigel Farage would like to explain to the families of British soldiers killed in Iraq why he’s such a good pal of Donald ‘bonespurs’ Trump?
Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

Donald Trump’s Greenland ambitions – softened seemingly at Davos – have transformed attitudes in the EU and compressed timelines for decoupling from the United States.
Trump’s Davos speech backed off escalation in Greenland. That will not prevent an EU rush for strategic autonomy
The Greenland episode taught important lessons: strategic autonomy must be accelerated to stop a haemorrhage of sovereignty; And the Anti-Coercion Instrument can be a powerful weapon in a new geopolit...

457 British troops lost their lives in Afghanistan.

Trump avoided military service 5 times.

How dare he question their sacrifice. Farage and all the others still fawning over Trump should be ashamed.

This is Liam Ramos. The five year old that ICE took from a Minneapolis school and sent BY HIMSELF WITHOUT HIS FAMILY to a detention facility in Texas. There are monsters among us and they are wearing masks, carrying guns, and work for the US government.

Canadian PM Mark Carney: “Canada and the United States have built a remarkable partnership in the economy, in security, and in rich cultural exchange.

457 UK armed forces personnel died in Afghanistan during the 20-year deployment.
This is a fucking hideous thing to say. Even by his non-existent standards.

JD #Vance talking about the Titanic not to be turned around over night is the most accurate description of the current state of America. We all just watch it stearing right towards the iceberg (somewhere south of Greenland) - an noone feels ready to get the captain off the bridge and turn the wheel.
Vance on the economy:

"You don't turn the Titanic around overnight"

Jack Smith reminds us that the cases against Trump were dismissed “without prejudice.” Meaning they could be brought again.

The EU is correctly reading this as a lane change, not a U-turn.
The extraordinary EU summit will go ahead as planned on Thursday evening, regardless of Trump’s Greenland U-turn.

The topic on the agenda remains “latest developments in the transatlantic relations and its implications for the EU.”

Trump shenanigans contributing to Iceland decision to hold a referendum on joining the European Union.
It will be the 11th non-EU country to apply to join.
If this continues, Britain will be almost alone in Europe in being outside the EU, isolated, poorer and weaker.

Are you filled with righteous anger about Donald Trump's fascism in the States? Good, but not enough. Now, make it your personal responsibility to ensure Nigel Farage never gets to introduce it here.
