Isn't this a telling aspiration? To want robots to look after your kids, so you can do stuff, rather than robots to do stuff, so you can spend time with your kids? The darkness inside these shrivelled men must be like a gaping unfillable void.

So it was Badenoch *personally* who stabbed Britain in the back during the Greenland crisis! Simply unbelievable. Ought to be a resignation matter.

How Badenoch’s meeting with Mike Johnson led to Trump’s Chagos deal rant
A brief encounter set off a chain of events that culminated in a public rebuff to the US president from Keir Starmer

There you have it, the Board of Peace is nothing more than a corrupt real estate deal dressed up as diplomacy with the sole purpose of enriching Trump and his favoured cronies.

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.

My brother fought in the infantry and lost soldiers in Afghanistan. The press used to report deaths before families had been told and I would check my phone over and over, scared it would ring. I went to the inquest of one of his killed men. I saw his red-eyed parents, girlfriend and baby daughter.

I understand the logic of providing Trump an off-ramp so he can back out with some dignity, but I think it's dangerous to do so. Each time these issues are resolved this way, he will be tempted to conduct himself this way again. What he needs is a public spanking.

One reason I am gloomy about Britain’s ability to rise to this geopolitical moment is the sheer parochialism and unseriousness of much of its media. The Times, which used to be a serious paper, does not have a single comment piece today on the gravest international crisis in 80 years

Farage fawned over Trump for a decade. Begged to sit at his dining table and ride in his gold lift. Played the presidential tribute to him as his LBC intro. Said he'd be great for Brexit. Trump’s reign was never in Britain's interests. But Farage didn't care because it flattered his fragile ego.

Too many progressive politicians have run scared of 'undoing Brexit' because of a perceived political cost, despite knowing full well the economic upside. Soon, the political cost of inaction will be the real threat.

also, side note, but why are these deranged outbursts by a deranged racist & misogynist ‘embarrassing’ for Starmer, who’s trying to prop up a security alliance in the face of madness, and not ‘embarrassing’ for the journalists working on these stories who’ve done so much to sanewash Trump?

Weird there's been so little analysis of how rightwingers worldwide have proved that their talk of patriotism and sovereignty was bullshit. They'd give it all up for this grotesque horror. Of course that would entail admitting the left were correct about them, so we'll just never talk about it.

Trump versus reality on the Chagos Islands: 1. UK is not ‘giving away’ the Chagos Islands. It is restoring them to Mauritius having split them off from the former colony when it became independent in 1965. 2. There is a very compelling reason: in 1965 the UN objected …

I don't know how it's fixed because Brexit has become a de facto religion and going back in or holding a 'rejoin' referendum would just stir up a whole load of shit and turmoil - but the UK needs to realign with Europe on every front as quickly as possible.

There are literally only two ways forward: the American people deal with a clearly unwell president using the constitutional means at their disposal; the rest of the world deals with it by putting the strongest mitigation measures available. And you hope the US military won’t follow a nuclear order.
