Trump keep your goons out of European elections. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Threaten them now before they recover and impose peace on our continent. With Trump, we either wait for a regime change in three years or we decouple from a Nazi state and reissue our beliefs in human rights and the belief of self determinatio

I would suggest our leaders tell Trump if he occupies Greenland we respond by declaring a flight free zone over Ukraine and attack Russian assets threatening our peace. After five years of blood and treasure, the Russians are exhausted.

Donald Trump seeks to destroy those obligations and divide the planet into three zones. The European zone sees conflict between Russia and democratic Europeans. We have a choice with Trump. We accept his dictatorship or we fight for our freedom and right to choose our way of life.

For the second half of my proffesonal career I worked in geo politics and conflict resolution. All was structured within the rules of the post Second World War accords. We didn’t always succeed but our aims were the prevention of killing.

Very best wishes for the new year. My wish for 2026 is England win the World Cup and on receiving the trophy, Harry Kane our captain shoves Trump off the stage and declares “winners only” and gives the finger to the ICE goons in the crowd.

As a European I’m asked to spend thousands of dollars to watch England in the World Cup, while being refused entry to the USA for believing Trump is a fascist asshole. Hmm a country that has 50,000 murders each year should not let their killers come to Europe?

I hoped to travel to Canada or Mexico to follow England or France at the World Cup. Disappointed but will have the greatest World Cup party in Paris.

Watching the stupidity of the signing in Washington between Rwanda and Democratic of Congo. This conflict has been going on for @ 50 years. Che Guevara fought there! This is an ethnic fight fuelled by mineral resources. All the gangster Trump wants is a piece of the action.

I live on the ninth floor of an appartement block in Paris. My French neighbours decorated the whole passage. Tomorrow the kids will be delighted.

Given the disgusting behaviour of USA supporters at the Ryder cup, does anyone support international sporting events in Trump land?

Trump says World Cup matches might have to be relocated for unsafe cities in the USA. Given there are more guns than humans there, perhaps the safety of all teams and fans would be to cancel the USA matches and move to Canada and Mexico.

Is Nigel Farage a racist? Here in France he backs them. At the the last Presidential election he considered Le Pen too left wing and supported Eric Zemmour who was convicted of racism, not once but twice in 2011 and 2018. He appealed those convictions to the ECHR (the irony eh Farage?) and lost.

Build prefab homes to address harm to ‘generation of homeless children’, says Labour MP

Here in France we know how to deal with corrupt Presidents. bbc.com/news/article...

Strike action across France as hundreds of thousands join protests. The defects of globalisation demand a response.

Trump wants the Europeans and nato members to stop buying Russian oil before sanctioning the mass murderer. He might start with a discussion with his mates in Hungary, Slovakia and Turkey. Perhaps we should treat Russian oil akin to blood diamonds.

Jamie Raskin, who I’ve never heard of before but now has my regard. Talking about farage. Good words.

"In December last year, Resolute 1850 Ltd was incorporated in the UK. With a thinktank soon to be launched and funds from MAGA, American Big Tech and the US religious right already pledged, it seeks to use Reform as a vessel to bring Project 2025-style policies to the UK."

Sweet Caroline, the English lionesses are through to the women’s euro championship final on Sunday. Italy your manager was a petulant disgrace. It’s millenium since everyone discovered pasta was invented by the Arabs.

Allez Paris. Then the French team can tell Trump to stick his 30% tarifs on the EU where the Sun doesn’t shine.

Happy July 14th to my American friends. Tomorrow manage the hangover and fight back.

37 degrees in Paris. Fridge earning its money.

As an organisation the idf has killed children in Gaza, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, Iran, The West Bank and Libya. Surely we can call them war criminals without defaming the whole Jewish nation.

The Israelis are showing a film of Hamas atrocities to Greta Thurnberg and her sailing resisters. Netanyahu must have been watching “Clockwork Orange” about how fascist regimes “re-educate” people. All power to Greta and her comrades.

A quick word!

Thirteen minutes into the champions league final. Paris scored and the fireworks commence. Allez Paris

Thoughts are with Liverpool fans tonight. I’m at Wembley on Sunday and will honour those hurt in whatever the stadiums organisers decide. You’ll never walk alone.

In the year after Nelson Mandela’s election I worked with the ANC in South Africa to provide a fairness in local elections for the Boer farmers. We achieved a consensus thanks to the current President of South Africa. What Trump and Musk did today was a disgrace.

I’m off to Zagreb in a few weeks time. One of the few European capitals I have yet to visit. Any suggestions?

Well done Romania, another Trumpy bites the dust.

Huge plum of smoke over Paris now.

I suggest every American, in these hard times, becomes an accidental shrimper. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

When Liz Truss (the shortest serving Prime Minister in history) crashed the UK economy, she lasted a further 17 days in office. You have a target USA.

Covid has knocked me down. Otherwise I’d be at the rallly tomorrow. 3:30 at La Republique, Paris. www.democratsabroad.org/maxdunitz/ha...

A little sad today. My trip to Washington, followed by an England or France match in the football World Cup next year is cancelled. I will not put a Euro or a pound into the clown car that is the US government until they get people who can drive, leading the US of A.

A beer will be raised on a Parisian terrace tonight to the French judicial system. Marine Le Pen barred from running for French presidency in 2027

In capitulation to Putin, the Trump administration has become the hot dog eating surrender monkeys.

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

It’s the French Oscar’s tonight. Best promising actor was a refugee from Mali who crossed the Mediterranean in a dangerous boat.

Donald Trump using the Oval Office to play out a children’s playground event with Zelenskyy. Unbelievable.

French police arrest founder of website used by Dominique Pelicot

So Trump gets the 18th airborne to storm the Greenland beaches. Denmark invokes article 5 of the nato treaty and the Americans are impelled to send special forces to repel the airborne invaders. Guffaws from across the EU and a shrug from my French neighbours.

This is the colleague that the likes of Cleverly, Badenoch & Jenrick are refusing to defend...

Mind your language: how learning French helped me remove the condom from the wine | Susan McDonald

Amazed by the projections onto the arc de triomphe. Followed by firework display to Patti Smiths “because the night belongs to lovers”. Paris it’s your year.

I headed up the European Union peace initiative in Liberia at the end of the civil war there. I worked with Jimmy Carter to bring peace and an elected government. Sometimes questioned his tactics, never questioned his heart. The planet lost a good one today.
