Also in this newsletter: the EU raises 'serious concerns' about Donald Trump's Board of Peace. #EuropeToday

Words of wisdom from a very charismatic woman in Minnesota. “We are not afraid Trump. Come again and you’ll FAFO”.

Wind and solar overtook fossil fuels for EU power generation in 2025, report finds

Palantir software is now the basis of the Government's fraud reporting service. So it now handles sensitive financial data for millions of UK citizens. Plus NHS data. Plus military analytics. Plus policing. And, of course, it's quite explicitly far right in its politics. What could ever go wrong?

Nigel Farage is STILL BACKING the Liz Truss minibudget! He just told Bloomberg in Davos that the only problem was that she didn't cut enough financial support from poor people! THIS IS WHO REFORM UK IS!

❗️Russia (!) produces approximately 500 drones and dozens of ballistic missiles every day, — Zelenskyy.

Elon Musk is a white supremacist. Case closed.

Isn't this a telling aspiration? To want robots to look after your kids, so you can do stuff, rather than robots to do stuff, so you can spend time with your kids? The darkness inside these shrivelled men must be like a gaping unfillable void.

Starmer maybe rightly doesn’t take bait each time but he needs an outrider - a semi-licensed “off message” attack dog - to make Haw-Haw Farage pay for sucking up to the guy who denigrates British war dead.

It's moral obscenity.

President Zelenskyy: Russian oil is being transported right along Europe’s shores.That oil funds the war against #Ukraine. It helps destabilize Europe. So Russian oil must be stopped, confiscated,sold for Europe’s benefit. Why not? If Putin has no money, there is no war against Europe.

But is it a plan that includes the Palestinians?

Jack Smith warned that Trump’s project isn’t justice—it’s revenge. A man who promises retribution for investigators is confessing contempt for law itself. Democracies fall when vengeance replaces accountability. This is the line. Cross it, and power devours rights. #RuleOfLaw #NoRevengeState

The vindictiveness and vengefulness of Trump, and the GOP for that matter, appears to know no bounds. Who next, the Obamas?

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on the EU Single Market, "We have to recall and remind ourselves that this is something that makes Europe strong" "My feeling is that we are sharing the same momentum we had in the 80s, now again" #RejoinEU

A great letter to Farage:

NATO literally activated Article 5 after 9/11 U.K. sent 46k to Iraq. 10k to Afghanistan. The UK in lost many soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan supporting America

Folly calleth unto folly.

I just signed this petition calling on Prince William to end the rent on Dartmoor Prison while it remains empty and unsafe and save millions in public money. It only takes a few seconds - please add your name. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...

Five Jobs Farage is spending far too much time cashing in on anything & everything, while ignoring the job he is paid to do: being an MP. Just like his idol Donald Trump, Farage thinks politics is all about lining his own pockets. His constituents deserve an MP who will do their job.

When the US acquired the US Virgin Islands from Denmark, it did so through a negotiated treaty and purchase with congressionally appropriated funds. It was not/not done unilaterally by the US President. And the US Secretary of State included this declaration when signing the treaty.

If you need to hear one meaningful thing from Davos, this is definitely what that historian has to say. No more philanthropy, just tax the rich.

The Daily Mail doesn’t change its spots!

Did he just mistake Iceland for Greenland?

Being a member of the EU would be pretty useful around about now.

Trump's entire world view is experienced through the prism of personal paranoia and vindictiveness.

Putin is no doubt pleased:

Keir Starmer: A warm home shouldn’t be a privilege, it should be a basic guarantee for every family in Britain. 👇 A £15billion Warm Homes Plan - the biggest homes upgrade plan in British history - will help to lift up to a million families out of fuel poverty by 2030 www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...
