Trump officials celebrated gutting USAID with cake while ignoring warnings. Their deliberate funding cuts killed cholera patients in South Sudan who lost access to 62-cent IV bags. This is policy as murder.

Folks, would you believe me if I told you JD Vance was over there railing against the immigrants as the reason for the antisemitism

According to the US Southern Command, the US military launched three more strikes on suspected drug-trafficking boats in the Pacific Ocean as part of the Trump administration's campaign aimed at curtailing narcotics trafficking to the US. https://cnn.it/3YBcuBL

“The company also registered fewer vehicles in the UK than its Chinese electric car rival BYD for the first time. Tesla’s sales fell by nearly 8% in an EV market that grew by 42% last month.“ The bulk of Space Caligula’s wealth is tied up in Tesla stock. Make it tumble!

I’m sorry, what? How on earth is this a question????

Again these people aren't patriots. They hate our country and are allied to others who hate it too. Nothing will ever be achieved by seeking to appease them

Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor rich man, poor man, Jaggar man, Keith.

Even the D Telegraph thinks Pres Trump will lose his case against the BBC. Interestingly, more Americans watch/hear/read the BBC than Brits. Its US audience averages 60 million, rising to 77m in Sept. By comparison, its UK audience is approx 50m (around 85% of UK population).

Let’s face it. That people chose a man with no morals, ethics, values or decency over a highly qualified woman (twice) is what destroyed the White House. We could rebuild the East Wing, the Rose Garden and purge all his gaudy ornaments…but the stench of Donald Trump will persist for generations.

Elon Musk is worth nothing. He has stolen $600bn from his workers, who he treats more like slaves, while he sits on Twitter posting lies.

Loving that the case on jurisdiction rests, in part, on the BBC providing weather forecasts for Florida.

“No less an authority than the United Kingdom’s former Prime Minister, Liz Truss” That’s a real sentence that someone wrote, which made it into Trump’s legal filing.

Satellite images of the 🇺🇦 attack on the Russian submarine in Novorossiysk It’s hard to assess the exact damage caused but it’s clearly visible that the pier was damaged.Thus,the amount of the explosives on the Sub Sea Baby drone was probably significant The submarine's stem likely sustained damage

Belgium today pushed back against the European Commission’s proposed concessions to unblock a €210 billion loan to Ukraine funded by frozen Russian assets — dashing EU hopes of securing a deal in time for Thursday's leaders’ summit.

If you’d like to read the actual 33-page defamation lawsuit Donald Trump has filed “for damages not less than $5,000,000,000”, then here it is: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

His deals aren't worth the paper they're printed on but world leaders have little choice but to pursue them. Another example of how completely he has destroyed the network of obligation that holds everything together.

Icymi last month, this truly is the most important story in the Western world.

Netanyahu during the war in Gaza has repeatedly sought to link widespread calls for a Palestinian state, and criticism of Israel’s military offensive in the territory following Hamas’ 2023 attack, to growing incidents of antisemitism worldwide.

You can no more damage Trump’s "reputation" than you can ride in an invisible gravy ship to a planet made entirely of turkey. Because none of those things exist.

I know this is pernickety but the BBC didn’t put words into Trump’s mouth, they took some out. Anyway, I look forward to seeing how this sex assaulting, lying, thieving, cruel, racist, sexist, charity cheating, pedophilic convicted criminal proves his reputation was damaged by this.

One consequence of hiring people for obedience rather than competence and integrity is that your court filings are essentially shonky op-eds half-translated into legalese

You lot need Dick Van Dyke singing Let's Go Fly a Kite on his 100th birthday more than you know.

MI6 Chief gives speech. Speech may contain words that are interesting. But because MI6 Chief is a woman @telegraph.co.uk prints an article about her appearance, with no mention of the speech’s content.

Haha, well, I'd say this is a new low in The Spectator's coverage of my Reith Lectures. There is so much wrong with the piece that it’s hard to know where to begin, but a few points stand out --> /1

“Bakari Sellers torches Trump's evangelical enablers with a blistering takedown, for their hypocrisy in turning a blind eye to his cruel words on Rob Reiner's horrendous murder.” @reallyamerican.bsky.social

Great idea not to mention that this is 3% of their councillors, whereas Reform have lost 6% of their councillors.

Keir Starmer needs to stand up for the BBC against Trump's outrageous $5bn lawsuit and protect licence fee payers from being hit in the pocket. Trump wants to interfere in our democracy and undermine our national broadcaster. We cannot let him.

I *do* support the proscription of Donald Trump.

TRUMP IS AN UNPARDONABLE PIECE OF SHITE #MAGA

This is a litmus test of British people's patriotism. Do you back your national broadcaster? Or do you back this guy?

Disgraceful that the BBC alleged that Trump encouraged an insurrection. Poor Crooked Rapey Don.

as Trump throws a $ 10bn lawsuit at the BBC, @instituteforgovernment.org.uk picked a good day to discuss the President's impact on communications - with Katy Balls from @thetimes.com @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social @alexgathomas.bsky.social - sign up www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/event/trump-...

Trump is often discussed as one of the worst presidents in modern American history, but it’s important to remember that such a categorization is far too narrow. Donald J. Trump is one of the worst people in modern American history.

Donald Trump has filed a $10bn defamation claim against the BBC over an edition of Panorama broadcast last year. The US president is seeking an award of punitive damages, claiming that the BBC’s “defamatory statements... were made with actual malice”. rozenberg.substack.com/p/trump-sues...

Does he mean covfefe?

Exhibit A

🚨🚨In today's "the world's most trustworthy trading partner": #US suspends technology deal with Britain. 🧵 www.reuters.com/world/europe...

That sucking up to a psychopath is going very well.

The central plank of their argument is that "at least some Americans watched the Panorama programme on the *Britbox* platform"? Yeah, good luck with that... 🤣

There's a lot going on right now but I decided to write about Rob Reiner. danieldrezner.substack.com/p/rob-reiner...

May 1945. Hitler to sue the British army for suggesting he only has one testicle.

You literally said every word. Just a little further apart.

'They put words in my mouth that I never said.' This should be pretty easy to disprove.

Hardly a surprise. Any ‘agreement’ with Trump is just the start of attempts to extort more, as his various tariffs on Canada & Mexico have shown. In that respect, his approach to negotiations is similar to Putin’s. Deals are essentially worthless.
