I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

Trump’s backlash is growing. We were never “a little away from the front.” That remark disrespects those who paid the ultimate sacrifice, their families, and every veteran who answered the call. This isn’t an isolated incident, it’s a repeated pattern. londonlovesbusiness.com/backlash-gro...

One small but notable sign of the rightward shift in UK politics in recent years is the use of “illegal migrants” for asylum seekers who arrive unofficially. It’s a dehumanising term which was popularised by the hard right and is now - as here - used repeatedly in Home Office press releases.

British soldiers returning from Afghanistan after "doing nothing for the USA." Fuck you Donald Trump.

One thing President Trump and I have in common is we’re both amazed and upset that his approval rating is in the low 40s.

Making sense of the madness. New post on my Brexit & Brexitism Blog. Analysis of the international and domestic implications of the ‘Greenland crisis’, including how the ‘Carney doctrine’ could offer a way forward for post-Brexit Britain: chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2026/01/maki...

"The idea of Putin sitting on a board of peace - when for the past four years he's been bombing the sh*t out of Ukraine - come off it!" Can Trump really make the Board of Peace the new UN?

To Jon Sopel, Trump's Davos speech was like a "Mafia gangster boss making his demands" – to Emily Maitlis he sounded "bored and not sure what he was on about." They estimate he stayed on script for ten minutes before veering off into threats and nonsense www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/trum...

... this is a thing of beauty.

5 years old. This is a child—not a threat to our community. When the federal government treats kids like criminals, something has gone seriously wrong. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Orban wasn’t happy about this.

Literally

Here's an image of NATO troops doing nothing to assist the USA in Afghanistan.

To all those listening or watching the Jack Smith testimony, remind yourself that at no time has any Republican offered a single piece of evidence that contradicts any of Jack Smith’s conclusions about Trump‘s criminal activity regarding the 2020 election.

The sprayer is not masked and so should be fairly easy to ID.

NEW: The Trump administration has written a secret legal opinion that ICE doesn’t need a proper warrant to enter your home. Late last night, I filed a FOIA request for that legal opinion. substack.com/@muellershew...

Back on the stand after a first day of hearings on Tuesday, Marine Le Pen continues to deny having run a coordinated scheme to misuse European Parliament funds.

Congratulations to the judges of the 8th circuit. ICE got your message loud and clear.

"The lies this administration is telling about Ms. Good aren’t those you deploy as part of a cover-up. They’re those you use when you want to show you can get away with anything." This is why the ICE operation in Minnesota has felt to me like crossing a new Rubicon, maybe the most horrifying yet.

‘Terrible things are happening outside… Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. Women return… to find their families gone.’ Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Meanwhile in Russia: decorated state TV host Vladimir Solovyov praised Donald Trump for the way he is treating America's allies: "Well done, Trumpushka! Well done!" www.youtube.com/watch?v=8c-q...

Q: Did you uncover evidence to prove Trump knew his claim the election was stolen was false? SMITH: Yes Q: And Trump claimed it was stolen while he privately acknowledged he lost? SMITH: Yes Q: Yet on the 5th anniversary of J6, Trump still promoted the stolen election theory on a govt webpage

NATO did not "stay a little back, off the front lines." Danish, British and Estonian troops served in Helmand, and Canadian forces in Kandahar - the two most dangerous Afghan provinces. Denmark, UK, Estonia & Canada suffered amongst the highest per‑capita soldier death rates when defending the US.

McSweeney I think is too convinced that the 2024 election result was his brilliance rather than millions of people just lending Labour their vote to get the Tories out (and hoping for something leftish). Glasman is just pure Reform at heart. I don't understand how Starmer can't see that.

UK - 457 Canada - 159 France - 90 Germany - 62 Italy - 53 Poland - 44 Denmark - 42 Trumps that have served - 0

Man, this is really a stunning, spectacular cave from Trump.

Ho, ho, ho.

Enforcing the law is one thing. Terrorizing a population, using children as pawns, is another. My heart aches for Liam Ramos and his family. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Note that Nigel Farage apparently has 53% of the shares in Reform UK Party Ltd + majority shares >75% in 2 other companies (Farage Media Ltd + Thorn In The Side" Ltd) but he hasn't declared them in the MP register of interests under Section 7 "Shareholdings: Greater than 15% of issued share capital"

This whole Board of Peace is just a big group of Trump fluffers. Embarrassing for all involved.

Trump is too stupid to realise that through the UN, NATO, and the WTO, the USA was already dominating the world His narcissistic mafioso behaviour is busting up all three organizations And resulting in unprecedented, overt challenges to US power

With the distance & size of America & tsunami of news, over here in Europe we rarely see reporting about opposition. To us, it seems most elected officials are in pushed-over silence. Go to Insta & hear them speak when no media's reporting. Bcs they do. Congressman Jared Huffman of California:

Feverishly raking it in from media deals, gold bullion brand promotion, X and other dodgy work that has nothing to do with his MP duties. Farage is a pisstaking grifter who has made us all worse off so he can get richer. And that’s all he’ll ever do. (Extract from Times and Libdem report on Brexit)

Annnnd there we have it.. Farage supports his “good friend” Trump who was “too busy” to take his calls last week to stop him invading Greenland.. Now he supports Trump having Greenland.. if he was PM Trump wanted UK, he’d given him it Farage is the biggest threat in UK politics to UK security

Renee Good was shot 3 times by ICE The first two shots were non lethal. One to her left forearm & another to right breast The final shot entered the left side of her head & exited the right side He didn’t have to keep shooting. He was out of the vehicle’s path before the kill shot That’s murder

At the crucial moment of diplomatic tension, Farage sided with Trump against the UK On the same day, he was found to have broken parliamentary rules around declaring his external interests A crook and a quisling

If you live in the UK and you were shocked to see the US ICE seize a 5 year old boy, don't forget this is what Nigel Farage and the Reform Party UK want for our country.

Gutter racism on the international stage.

Scenes from occupied Minneapolis: "3 SUVs ICE officers driving down 21st to 42nd street. The ice officer rolled down his window and took a photo of me and said 'I got you motherfucker'. I am just a home owner going outside to see what was going on."

This is what happens when you have the wealthiest cabinet in U.S. history. Her chauffeur should take her to the grocery store & educate her on how real people live.

That is an ICE agent pepper spraying a restrained victim in the face at close quarters; it's an unquestionable and indefensibly abusive use of excessive force that should (but won't) be criminally prosecuted as assault

Appalled to your core by what Trump's fascist henchmen are doing in the United States? Well, read for yourself: Nigel Farage wants to repeat it in the United Kingdom.

What ICE is doing in the United States Nigel Farage has told us he wants to do in the United Kingdom.

I have an update on Greenland.
