Spoiler alert… It wasn’t. It isn’t. They don’t.

something you have to understand about Trump & his weird comments about the economy is that the dude hasn't paid for anything like a normal person in decades - never pumps gas, never buys groceries - so he's completely & utterly out of touch with what life is like for most of us

Q - You said 5 days ago you were going to release the video of the second strike. Can we get an update on that? Trump - You are a terrible, horrible nasty low-IQ woman and the worst reporter ever working for a terrible company! I never said that! Now you get nothing, fake news!

The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.

The Reform UK leader has been accused of falsifying his election expenses. The allegations have been made by a former member of Mr Farage’s campaign team, who is said to have submitted documents to the force. 😬~AA www.lbc.co.uk/article/nige...

Every real economist in America warned at the time he was imposing tariffs that it would affect each of these things, and deportations have affected the ability of farmers to access labor. This is all happening because of one man.

Rep. Adelita Grijalva was pepper-sprayed by ICE agents during a raid last week. Remember: ICE is getting $170B in new funding from Trump's Big Ugly Bill and lowering its hiring standards. If Trump's thugs can do this to a member of Congress, they can do it to you.

It's being reported internationally. In the UK, mostly, silence. "Representatives from the crypto industry have held meetings with Reform feeding into the party’s strategy... Farage has championed several industry causes since including picking a fight with the Bank of England over regulation." ~AA

Trump threatens new "very severe" tariffs against Canada to spur domestic fertilizer production

“I’d have no problem releasing the video” “I didn’t say that, you said that. Fake news.” 5 days apart 😬 (From @therecount.com )

What a damning indictment of Johnson’s incompetence.

Anyone fancy owning a Railway Station? www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/1...

Can’t stress this enough! And obviously neither the SEC or the DOJ (at least at the highest levels) is going to seriously investigate and prosecute insider trading.

Arab nations just shut down Trump’s proposal to take over and control Gaza—and instead, they’ve unveiled a $53 BILLION plan to rebuild the Gaza Strip. During a summit in Cairo, Arab leaders made it clear: Palestinians aren’t going anywhere. Trump be like ……

Front page reactions to JD Vance's insult to Britain today. An insult to those who sacrificed their lives and a belittling of the thousands of British service men and women living with the physical and mental scars of war. 🧵👇

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Jeez. JD Vance now calling UK 'some random country that hasn't fought war in 30 years'

It will probably come as no surprise to anyone to hear that Trump’s Press Secretary is struggling to explain why his tariffs will work newrepublic.com/post/192281/...

Britain is "some random country that hasn’t fought a war in 30 or 40 years”. That's the gratitude you get for backing American wars in Iraq & Afghanistan.

“We Finns know Russia. Russia shares a land border with 14 countries. Only one of them has constantly remained an independent democracy through the Second World War and the Cold War, and that's Finland” Elina Valtonen Minister for Foreign Affairs of Finland

French Prime Minister François Bayrou today declared the alliance with the US is seriously wounded and called President Donald Trump’s attitude toward Ukraine “an indecency” www.politico.eu/article/fran...

He is incompetent

Someone needs to remind President Trump that President Zelenskyy is the democratically elected leader of a sovereign country, a hero who is bravely standing against the illegal invasion of Ukraine by a murderous ACTUAL dictator called Vladimir Putin youtu.be/HpmDquOkSCY?...

Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency team is reportedly using artificial intelligence to guide its cost-cutting decisions, a tactic AI experts say could cause security breaches, biased firing choices and cuts of highly qualified, essential government staffers www.cnn.com/2025/03/04/t...

Putin has played him like a fiddle." Alastair Campbell says he was left "utterly disgusted" with the way Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was treated in the White House by a "manchild" President Trump and "vile" Vice President Vance.

Trump’s pause on Ukraine aid is like the U.S. switching sides in WWII, expert says www.nbcnews.com/news/world/t...

“The occupant of the Oval Office – the leader of the free world – seems happier to side with the brutal tyrant Putin than to support America’s allies. It feels like we have fallen through the looking glass” Sir Ed Davey www.independent.co.uk/voices/ed-da...

“We shouldn’t be listening to anything Donald Trump says so early into any investigation. It’s just crazy. The man is out of his mind anyway.”

GBeebies visiting really Brexity areas to find anyone who thinks it was a good idea. It's not going well. "I really struggle to think of anything positive that's come out of it. A lot of people that I speak to said that if they had the choice again, would vote to stay." ~AA

Heaven help us

On the fifth anniversary of leaving the EU (Brexit phase 1), trade is down, GDP is down, brexit trade deals are worth 0% after 30 years, immigration is way up, brexit supporters have never been angrier, brexiteers just blame each other for the mess (sometimes remainers), and we didn't even get cake.

Trump fired 400 FAA senior officials, the TSA head & 3k air traffic controllers. Now there’s been a fatal accident. He was supposed to be updating the public but instead gave an incoherent, shameless rambling speech blaming DEI hires and politicised a tragedy. He truly is a despicable waste of piss

The Daily Mirror brands Donald Trump "shameful" after the president blamed diversity hiring for the deadly air collision in Washington DC on Wednesday

Hugh Grant has called for police to open a new criminal investigation into the owners of The Sun, saying the job is not done "by any means" after Prince Harry settled his privacy claim on Wednesday. He’s absolutely right www.bbc.com/news/article...

“As Project 2025 quickly transforms from a laughable Leftist myth into the sobering true horror story of a life without access to education, no public health protections for their families, and an economic quicksand…they’ll ask why no one warned them” johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/magas-lost...

I've been reading some of the German press coverage of Musk's little homage to "The Producers". Refreshingly direct. It goes a bit like: Who knows what Musk intended? And who cares? We saw what he did. Far-right groups around the world saw what he did. That gesture is taboo for a reason. ~AA

I wonder how easy it would be to swap Mike for Donald?

🚨 "Ministers have rejected calls for the UK to move closer to the EU in order to boost economic growth, insisting that Brexit has brought “opportunities” and some benefits for the British economy.” Imagine the shock when they see this

Brexit really was the worst act of (Mogg's words) "self harm" ever..On so many levels. Instead of being part of that (EU) collective force, UK's choice is now only to decide which one of the big three (etc) it wants to be a supplicant,rules following,vassal state to.Just a matter of how much to each

This is awful. Trump orders immediate closure of all US federal diversity offices Staff placed on paid administrative leave as president repeals executive orders promoting LGBTQ equality www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
