457 British troops lost their lives in Afghanistan. Trump avoided military service 5 times. How dare he question their sacrifice. Farage and all the others still fawning over Trump should be ashamed.

Great to listen to Radio 2 trolling Trump with a discussion of how to handle toddlers and deal with bullies.

Trump is acting like an international gangster. The Prime Minister has tried appeasing him for 12 months and has failed. It's time we finally stood up to him and united with our European allies to make him back down.

Feels like something that should have happened a a long time ago is finally happening The scales are falling away from the eyes of pretty much anyone sentient, and the reality of Trump is becoming apparent What this means is also apparent. And it’s existential for pretty much everyone

Which makes me even madder about Brexit and all those fuckwits who thought the US was our friend and EU a problem. Do you think any of them might be having second thoughts now?

New in! It's a big year for the Photofile series of books and we're excited to be stocking some of their best. Be inspired! #inspiration #altrincham #newyearnewyou

Make this go viral. Labour MP Louise Haigh.

This is unhinged. A 75 year old alliance in NATO is being trashed to serve one man's ego. Trump is not a reliable ally, he's a reckless bully. Starmer needs a plan B to stand up for Britain and our allies.
