On May 10th, Macron informed Trump that Ukraine had accepted his ceasefire proposal. Putin flatly rejected it. ​Trump responded by shifting the goalposts. His reversal sabotaged the very ultimatum European leaders had traveled to Kyiv to deliver. He later blamed Ukraine. ​

Trump imposes tariffs on European countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland) over Greenland. This is getting ridiculous!

So reciprocal tariffs and boycotts on all US goods until he stops threatening to colonise a peaceful European-owned country

Superb article. Others have pointed out various options such as closing bases, dumping US bonds etc. However, the EU dithers, we're still pissing around with Russian sanctions 1500 days after the after the invasion. There needs to be a trigger to pull that literally puts all this in motion, bang!

ICE and Border Patrol agents must be reined in. Here is one thing we can do right now. Please read and share. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/americas-gestapo

“If any of these do break, it’s likely game over for one very good reason: there is no one in the Trump administration able to put them right.”

If you’ve shared StopReformUK.Vote Thank you 🙌 It’s one of many important tools we have at our hands to keep out fascism in the UK, But so many people haven’t seen it before. It simply helps you know which candidate to vote for in your area who has the best chance against the Reform candidate.

What would happen if the US was to take Greenland by force? Brent Molnar's article looks at the grave implications. Will it persuade our weak-willed UK PM to remove his head from the orange felon's ass and get truly serious about closer ties with Europe... or much preferably rejoining? I hope so!!

As Donald Trump threatens to use the U.S. military to seize Greenland, European officials and diplomats have started quietly airing a previously unsayable thought: What would it look like to fight back? www.politico.eu/article/dona...

Every defector Farage unveils, swears up-and-down that they made no deal. Farage cocked up today and pulled back that curtain. A huge unforced error. Incredibly, when - rightly - pressed about it, he pretended, to journalists' faces, that he had never said what he said TO THEM an hour earlier.

Not a politician. Not a reporter. Just a man from Italy... ...with a message for America.

Sick and tired of British politicians and this whole circus. We’re on the cusp of some pretty grim years and no one seems to care about improving people’s lives or making the country more resilient or developing serious alliances with our neighbours.

Hello, is the uk government listening?

I'm delighted to welcome Robert Jenrick to Reform! One thing our party urgently needs is more frauds.

A reminder that when Robert Jenrick was running for Conservative party leader he accepted £25,000 from a firm controlled by a sanctioned Oligarch. He should fit in well bylinetimes.com/2024/10/17/r...

As predictable as the sunrise. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

You won't hear me say it often, but [deep breath, shudder] Nigel Farage is right. Link to original tweet... x.com/nigel_farage...

I’m delighted to welcome Robert Jenrick to Reform UK - we need more people like him with strongly held principles. The sort of principle that led him to overrule a planning decision to save a billionaire pornographer £45m in exchange for a £12,000 donation.

When you 'telling the truth' is such a novel concept you feel you have to announce it in advance

Jenrick "put more people in hotels than even this Labour government!" Nigel says ... as he totally destroys the "fraud" Robert Jenrick MP.... Who er just defected to Reform

⚡️Ukraine is launching a high-level energy Ramstein summit to mobilize urgent international aid as Russian strikes cripple the nations power grid.

Couldn't agree with George more, but in all fairness, we should also acknowledge his more positive qualities & attributes:

Machado, the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, in my opinion the gravest of faults by the committee who are supposed to give this award to people that deserve it, not those who would sell it to its highest bidder for a 'favour'.

Kyiv, near midnight. Everything’s almost discharged. Twenty hours without power is hard for any device. Generators outside stopped singing. Curfew soon. Saving the battery, as I never know when, or if, power will return.

The guy who just bombed your country and killed a bunch of people? Um, whatever. Can the Nobel committee revoke an award?

#Kyiv. About 500 buildings have been left without heat. Invincibility points are places where people can warm up,charge mobile phones&other devices,use the internet,get hot drinks. 📹State Emergency Service of Ukraine

President Volodymyr Zelensky said the massive protests in Iran signal that Russia’s position will weaken. Iran is a key partner of Moscow. When authoritarian regimes crack from within, the impact reaches far beyond their borders.

Sina Ashkboosi, a 17-year-old teenager, was killed on January 8, during the protests in Tehran, after being shot with live ammunition by forces of the Islamic Republic. Buried on Monday, January 12. The family was forced to sign a pledge that the burial ceremony would be held in silence.

So it’s decided now: Norway 🇳🇴, Sweden 🇸🇪 and Germany 🇩🇪 are sending military personnel to Greenland. Exactly the right decision👏🏻 www.n-tv.de/politik/Bund...

The remaining three hunger strikers have ended their strike. A good moment to reflect on how falsely labelling them as terrorists dehumanises the prisoners. Thought-provoking piece for the Nerve by @natashawalter.bsky.social www.thenerve.news/p/palestine-...

Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham tells Faisal Islam that Reform are “anti-North” over its plan to scrap the £45bn northern corridor rail link & “breathtakingly arrogant” to tell investors to shun the North of England. “Look at them… There’s nothing northern about them,” he said

Sweden is also deploying to Greenland. European troops being deployed to Greenland as a deterrent to… the United States. Who saw this coming

Kyiv. It is currently minus 15 degrees Celsius (5 degrees Fahrenheit). Just imagine what the temperature is like in these concrete houses without heating, and how people sleep in them. Currently, 471 buildings in the city are without heating.

The Government have u-turned on ID Cards. Good. Authoritarian plans to scrap jury trials need to go next.

🔥 Right now, 1,500 Russian soldiers are trapped in Transnistria—yes, in Moldova, not Ukraine or Russia! After years of Russian occupation there, Ukraine and Moldova have cut off every supply line. Those troops have nowhere to go and nothing left.
