Oh dear.

Orban wasn’t happy about this.

Why does @pinknews.bsky.social just not display on my iPhone? Every single time I try to read a web page I get this

US law requires 2/3 Senate approval for international treaties

Gavin Newsom, "I was going to speak last night at the USA house" "After Trump's speech they made sure that I didn't" "They made sure it was cancelled" "That's what's happening in the USA" "Freedom of expression, freedom of assembly, freedom of speech" "It's America in reverse"

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.

Oooooooh

I’ve been reading Trump’s "Board of Peace Charter," and despite the name, this isn’t a multilateral institution, it’s a centralised structure built entirely around the authority of one person (Trump). www.timesofisrael.com/full-text-ch...

Trump’s Board of Peace logo is basically the UN logo, except dipped in gold and edited so the world only includes America.

We're 8 minutes into Trump's speech unveiling his 'Board of Peace' and this is what he's talked about: - How many countries he's bombed. - How much oil he's taken out of Venezuela. - How large the US military budget is. - How he won the popular vote. - How much investment he's bringing into the US.

Not that I trust him or like that any deal had to be made in the first place but if everyone had followed Polanski’s advice of hitting the nuclear option we’d all be in a much worse position. That’s the problem with populism. It tells you what you want to hear. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

The Social Media giants need to be accountable. Banning SM for kids under 16 simply lets those corporations off the hook and those kids who want to, will not only get round it - but do so surreptitiously and in my opinion that's far more dangerous.

I’m seeing a lot of people say blame the country, not its people. People didn’t extend that same logic to a certain country in the Middle East which resulted in people from that country feeling unsafe to talk about where they were from. Time to recognise that how we talk about issues matter

The EU has delayed its vote on ratifying the trade agreement with the US.

The embarrassing optics of people trying to cram into Trump’s speech at Davos. A better approach would have been him talking to an empty hall

NEW: NEW: Standards commissioner finds Nigel Farage committed seventeen breaches of MPs code of conduct. He failed to declare £333,000 in outside interests (more than 3x MPs annual salary)…

Hill is always worth reading www.newstatesman.com/internationa...

Today’s Davos is going to be

Should things escalate further and today goes down in history as the end of American hegemony future UK historians may be surprised to find the papers focusing on the Beckhams falling out.

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland. And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.

I don’t appreciate Newsom’s views on trans rights, however, he’s been the only person who has ever seen and treated Trump as the coward he is. He’s absolutely nail on here

The speeches coming out of Davos basically say one thing. That the orange baby has totally destroyed the standing of the US in the eyes of its now former allies. The US is going to have a big hill to climb to come back from this and Putin is loving it

He's calling it how he sees it www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

The Prime Minister of Belgium speaks:

This Chagos row should be the end of Farage. Trump can’t veto it, Trump initially supported it and he’s only bringing it up because of what he wants to do on Greenland. Farage should be easy to nail to the mast. He’s supporting the Greenland hostile act by supporting the attack on the Chagos deal

Trump calls the UK stupid. Farage quickly follows to agree. Farage is a traitor to the UK and will happily sell us to an autocrat.

Not for the first time, it looks like Channel 4 just handed the keys to their socials to an evil genius:

Christ www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Is anyone else getting a sinking feeling about Trump’s upcoming speech at Davos? Seems odd for Farage to want to hot tail it to Davos doesn’t it?

Am I missing something? The solution to the worst global instability we’ve seen since the First and Second World Wars is to *checks notes* try and make an alternative NATO and get rid of the nuclear deterrent?! There’s a time to consider a different world and now isn’t it. Jesus H

And yet he’s joined a party who believes in the same economic policies as Liz Truss who was and continues to be a MAGA/CPAC fan… how many times has Farage been to CPAC? www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Reform - the party full of Tories who wrecked the country the last 14 years, now claiming *checks notes* that they want to put country before party…. While again putting another party before country so they don’t get thrown off the gravy train www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

We now have a full-blown European-American crisis, and for no reason that the president is able to articulate

Lmao Jenrick is truly pathetic www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Hilarious, and today Farage is claiming Trump has done the wrong thing on Greenland. I’ll say this for Trump, he cares so little about consistency that even his supporters are completely side stepped by him and try look ridiculous.

The whole of Europe should cancel Netflix. Do it. Cancel every US company subscription you have. It’s a simple and tiny thing you can do. #CancelNetflix

It’s almost like everyone said you couldn’t appease him and the only way was to stand up to him. Now it’s the Chamberlain moment all over again. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Ask yourself: If Donald Trump was intentionally trying to destroy the United States, how could you tell the difference?

Europe should cancel Netflix. See how Don likes those kind of tariffs.

So tariffs are being slapped on former US allies because the big orange baby thinks it’s the 18th century. It’s high time people started cancelling their subscriptions to US streaming services because they won’t like that. Would be a shame if the whole of Europe cancelled Netflix wouldn’t it?

Tracy Africa Norman became a model in the 1970s and modelled in Italian Vogue. She lost modelling work when people found out she was trans, but she reinvented herself as a queen of the Manhattan ballroom scene. An inspiration to many, Tracy reclaimed her modelling career. #Trans #Transgender

London has, once again, topped the rankings as the city people most want to visit, work in, and live in. Please don’t tell Farage and Leila Cunningham. They’ll both be absolutely fucking livid

Meet the new boss, just like the old boss
