This should become an election campaign poster for Labour/Libdems/Greens/SNP.

“Those British troops should be remembered for who they were: heroes who gave their lives in service of our nation” Defence Secretary John Healey 👏

[80s public information film voice] "It's 12:30, do YOU know where your party leader is?"

And for those who fret "what about national security?" let's see if they read down to this:

NEW Why the Hillsborough law campaigners are right to be resolute The attempts to water down the duty of candour should be resisted Me at @prospectmagazine.co.uk www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/th...

Where are the poppy patriots? Why are they completely silent on this grotesque insult to our armed forces and specifically the 2,000 UK service and civilian personnel who were injured and the 457 who died in Afghanistan?

Rewiring history.

It’s especially crass coming from a draft dodger like Donald Trump.

The Grand Strategy would be: pull out of Brexit reset and even the base agreement; cause chaos in Northern Ireland; do rubbish thin trade deals when we're desperate; truckle to Putin and slow rearmament; strip ouy the welfare state; beg for scraps with the USA. That's electoral hemlock. (2/2)

This is what worries me most at home. The instincts and views of any Reform-Tory govt are so totally at odds with the public, so outlandish to the median voter, as to make government and even the very ability to govern impossible. (1/2)

@johnswinney.bsky.social - nationalise his fucking golf courses and hand them over to House For Heroes.

President Bone Spurs trashing Nato's efforts in Afghanistan - and the reputation of the 450 Brits killed there - is quite the thing. Every day a new low.

Deporting children with cancer. Using a 5-year-old as bait. Shooting moms. ICE is beyond reform. And today the House is voting to bankroll more terror. Hell no.

Very grim. www.ft.com/content/c894...

Every day we all have to think about one of the most irredeemable cunts in the history of the world. What’s he doing? What’s he said now? How will it affect your life? What will be left once he’s finished smashing it all up? It’s unconscionable

I think--a lot--about that one time when Lindsey Graham was correct.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

Every ICE officer who has broken the law should be arrested, tried, and imprisoned for their crimes.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Crockett: "You only love enforcement when they're going after Black, brown, immigrants, that kind of folk. But on January 6, you didn't care about law enforcement."

I wouldn’t get too excited about the Trump line on force in Greenland. He’s been spooked by the markets and possibly by US public opinion. It’ll be the line until it’s not where he’ll hint at it again. Which might be later today.

Mark Carney's speech is now only the second most acute analysis of where the world is at right now:

All republicans should be outraged, but the majority are complicit.

This is not a rational person. And this is deeply disturbing coming from an American President. NATO is not our enemy—they are unequivocally our closest friends and allies. At this point, how can you not call into question the mental fitness of this President?

Trump just spoke about Renee Good and spent most of his economy of words on how sad it is that her dad was... a huge Trump fan. Not that his child is dead. Not that she was killed by the federal government. That he's a Trump fan.

COLLINS: Did it stand out to you that he said Iceland multiple times when he was talking about Greenland? NEWSOM: And that every time a windmill turns it costs $1,000. A lot of stuff stands out. None of this is normal. There's a deviancy of consciousness. He's graded off the curve.

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

Mafia goon: Nice house you got here...it'd be a shame if something happened to it Media outlets: Mafia goon rules out use of force. Expresses regret at the mere thought of it

Ed Davey. Lib Dem UK party leader ‘Donald Trump is behaving like an international gangster’. ‘From leaking messages with other world leaders to whining about the Nobel peace prize, the US president has gone from unstable to seemingly unhinged. And our government needs to wake up’

The new cover and feature @nature.com www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

Trump's speech lasted 70 minutes. That's 3 minutes longer than the silent German expressionist masterpiece, The Cabinet of Dr Caligari. And much like that film - he was weird and nightmarish while saying nothing at all.

For the love of god man just die on the toilet and be done with it.

Whoever stood to applaud this slop should be named and shamed.

It's time to "take the brakes off rebuilding our common future in Europe". www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Eloquently articulates damage US is doing to world order. Refuses to elaborate further. Leaves.

Let's not blow this out of proportion. It was just an admin error. Two admin errors. A few admin errors. Seventeen admin errors worth £380,000.

Satire died a long time ago. This seems to be the day when they flush it's ashes down the toilet.

Great aurora in Greenland tonight!

Robert Jenrick helpfully lists all the things he didn't do during his 10 years in government.

Reporters have finally caught up a bit and started describing Donald Trump’s behaviour as unreasonable rather than unconventional, transactional, or strategic. The problem is, that’s last term. Trump isn’t just unreasonable, he’s clearly now also mad (the dangerous, unfit for office, kind).

ICYMI. Worth listening to every carefully considered word. A sense of history, realism+responsibility. A knowledge of globalisation, trade+the consequences of a world of “fortresses”. The contrast with last night’s self-adulatory, grievance-ridden, destructive ramblings could not be clearer. #Carney

I think everyone could benefit from a little aurora break

The Independent: “Trump’s tariff threat must be the final straw for Starmer – time to rejoin the EU” www.independent.co.uk/news/world/e...

Texas has 2.1 million immigrants. Florida has 1.6 million immigrants. Minnesota has 130 THOUSAND immigrants. What Trump is doing was NEVER about immigration. It’s about RACISM and REVENGE in Minnesota. He’s not creating jobs, or bringing down grocery prices or making healthcare affordable

Says the whole world, outside Moscow.

But this “board” won’t stop at Gaza. The nascent consortium, which will include some of the world’s most notorious swindlers, despots and gangster capitalists, see this as the opportunity of a lifetime.
