Obergruppenführer Stephen Miller never dreamed that middle-aged white guys in Vikings jackets would be screaming "Nazi pieces of shit" at his goons as they chased them away.

What on earth were people expecting? He's had to be cautious because of Brexit and the fact that he has to play different sides off to secure the favourable relationships. Even the pro-Europeans don't seem to be able to acknowledge Brexit. I swear some of them just totally ignore that it happened.

There are going to be limits to what you can make other countries do by threatening to tax your own citizen's purchases of their products. I believe handing over entire territories falls well beyond those limits. 🤷‍♂️

[1/6] A reminder: Europe has cards to use against the US. Lots of them. To cite some examples: - Tighten screws on US digital giants (taxes, fines, even bans) - Export taxes disrupting US supply chains eg pharma - Exclude US firms from European procurement, inc defence ecfr.eu/publication/...

This is exactly the sort of thing I was thinking earlier. Plus, it makes the central European populists, Farage and others far less able to hitch their wagon to that shitfest in the States. In many respects doesn't what that rotting corpse of a president is doing actually cohere Europe?

China and Russia must be having a field day. They are the ones who benefit from divisions among Allies. If Greenland’s security is at risk, we can address this inside NATO. Tariffs risk making Europe and the United States poorer and undermine our shared prosperity. (1/2)

A massive "Hands off Greenland" protest is happening right now in Copenhagen to demonstrate against Trump's threats. "The aim is to send a clear and unified message of respect for Greenland's democracy," organisers said. “Respect for Greenland, respect for Greenlanders, respect for Denmark.”

Denmark’s Arctic commander rejects Trump’s claims of immediate Russia, China threat to Greenland www.politico.eu/article/denm...

There comes a time when you choose sides. It's arrived. If we don't choose our friends and neighbours in Denmark it will be shameful. Sod Trump and those indulging him.

Well, that was a kick in the nuts. All the fine margins that were going our way early in the season are now going against us. We just need to keep our heads and battle through. We'll get out the other side. And we're in a quarter final too. #afcw

Even if he weren’t lying & going to TACO & committing serially illegal offenses requiring immediate impeachment & removal, he has no idea how to impose & credibly enforce differential tariffs on only 6 of 27 🇪🇺 countries.

Dangerous new step in Trump's deranged pursuit of Greenland: economic punishment of allies to coerce Denmark into selling Greenland—on demonstrably spurious grounds. The president is lying: US missile defence can function perfectly w/out US ownership of Greenland. It has done for decades.

Enough is enough. Time for co-ordinated European measures to hit the American economy where it hurts if Trump persists. BBC News - www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c1... Trump tariffs: US president announces plan to hit UK, Denmark and other European countries with tariffs over Greenland - BBC News

Let’s call this what it is: a disgusting abuse of power and a farce. As his agents terrorize Minnesotans, as prices rise, as he fails to deliver for Americans, he is also weaponizing the DOJ against his perceived enemies. This is not a banana republic and justice will prevail.

Ganesh is absolutely right here. And also why there is no guarantee *at all* that a federal Europe would be some paragon of liberal values — progressive EU fans should be careful what they wish for.

AFC Wimbledon can confirm that Mark Robinson has returned to the Club in a short-term advisory capacity and that Harrison Hollis has also joined the Club as Head of Academy Operations 🤝 #AFCW 🟡🔵 www.afcwimbledon.co.uk/news/2026/ja...

One of the most ridiculous men ever to have access to a public platform

Gavin Newsom is a presidential frontrunner in part because he not only talked the talk about fighting Trump, but came up with and executed a plan to actually do it. Other Democrats should take note. Words and stern letters ain’t sufficient.

I've been reading stuff like this and I'm beginning to take the view that Trump is in all probability, in effect, a hostage to a group of grudgeholders who are using his decline to advance their own particular agenda. open.substack.com/pub/cryn/p/i...

the only good thing about this part of the horrible shooting story is that it may turn out to be a gut shot for the carcass of @cbsnews.com and that's great. and unlike the ICE goon CBS has real internal bleeding.

10 key numbers from the World Economic Forum’s report on the size & potential of the global sports industry. TLDR: it’s big. From 1.8 (as in we’re using the planet’s resources 1.8x faster than we can replace them), to $8.8trn, how much sport could generate in 2050. www.nytimes.com/athletic/696...

If you impose tariffs on everyone, everywhere, all at once, don't whine if they do trade deals amongst themselves instead

The team at the GP surgery in Bellfields and Slyfield ward do an amazing job, despite being squeezed into a unit that is clearly no longer the size needed for the growing community. I pushed the Health Minister to support the development of community health hubs.

This is astonishing, really 21 per cent of the Premier League’s history has had the City case hanging over it That extends to 48.4 per cent if you go back to 2009-10 and the first season the charges relate to. www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

BREAKING: After Donald Trump said Ukraine was the barrier to peace, President Zelenskyy just released this incredible rebuke. Make sure every American sees this and know Russia is to blame for the war.

They are as complicit in this sham as Machado is. They gave her the Nobel prize as she was speaking at alt-right conferences, entering into an alliance with Netanyahu and Likud, and actively calling on the United States to bomb her country.

The Reform pitch is increasingly “the last government was terrible, so we’ve hired everyone who was in it”.

I do not like living during the Idiocracy.

It's not great for trust in politics that two MPs who've been slagging each other off all year can just turn round & say "obviously I didn't mean it". It feeds the perception (mostly false) that all politicians are liars & politics just a game. And the party that feasts on that is of course Reform

One of the things about people showing up to protest for the first time, that many, many armchair theorists don't grasp, is the effect of seeing what happens with your own eyes, then seeing how media covers it, and what is said ABOUT YOU by media and political personalities/office holders.

Interview with Michel Platini – now in the clear but wanting to settle a few scores. On purported plot to "kill" him, Infantino's power lust, the need for Ceferin to face down Fifa, plans for a comeback behind the scenes and whether romantics can really win: www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Do not be surprised if in the first days of an incoming populist radical government there is an entire raft of statutory instruments and other measures prepared and ready to go, exploiting every gap in our constitutional arrangements.

This might be the single most pathetic thing I've seen in my adult life.

So much in here that's so fascinating. But this, for me at least, really stood out: "Nigel Farage, meanwhile, has stood – consistently, and often alone – for what’s needed. Ending mass migration. Cheap energy. Cutting waste and taxes and red tape." Not a single solitary mention of #Brexit....

Just hours into Offord getting announced as Reform’s Scottish leader and the party are already emulating their American idols. Manhandling journalists, limiting scrutiny and barely giving a single direct answer to any questions- it’s all classic, Trumpian behaviour.

This "open borders" line is *infuriating* - these people came here to study or work, because they had a uni place or a job to come to. They paid visa fees, student fees, NHS surcharge - and many of them are doing challenging and important work - staffing our care homes, for example, including Mum's.
