Politicians in Europe need to take defensive action against the very real US threat to our values. Now. youtu.be/Ad3CByhscw0?...

"The big question for Europe is: when are you gonna fight back, guys?" ask former Obama staffers Tommy Vietor and Ben Rhodes. "He doesn't respect you, he's interfering in your political affairs, he's talking shit...at some point stop lathering him with praise" open.spotify.com/episode/6USY...

European leaders must not follow the GOP into surrendering to Trump's obscene world view. Now is the time for push back. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I get it now. America's paroxisms are all about Trump trying to please his dead father. Old racist Fred Trump would be very proud of Trump's attempts to erase the black experience from not just the US but from Europe as well. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Trump claims every strike on a Venezuelan 'drugs boat' saves 25,000 American lives. There have been at least 22 strikes. But the number of deaths in the US caused by drug overdose reached 73,690 in the year to April 2024. Something doesn't add up.

Have you joined the Greens yet?

The US has left the group of civilised democratic nations in a bid to become another mafia state like Russia, run by the Trump family and oligarchs who seek to amass money and power. It is time for Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Canada

The article says that Europe is alone, but the part of Europe they are talking about (the EEA plus Switzerland and the UK and possibly minus Hungary) consists of 30 countries, with values that are more alike than Europe and the US.

If you are more a fan of proper political debate that strives towards truth than of the gladiatorial verbal slap-down found on Twitter, this is a really interesting watch. It's quite long at an hour and a quarter and

It will be interesting to see how Farage responds to the accusations about his ex-Reform UK council leader Ian Cooper. Will he deflect to keep his racist followers on board, like he did about the racist accusations against himself?

Europe must pay to defend Ukraine (and the rest of the continent) from Russia. Europe also also needs to create a replacement for NATO, as Trump has effectively reneged on NATO's Article 5, that an attack against one NATO member is considered an attack against all. www.economist.com/leaders/2025...

How to Find Your Side-hustle as a Reform Politician, Part 2. Leader Farage is quite good at this and 'earns' more from telling rude jokes on the speaking circuit than helping his constituents. But here is a new slant on the side-hustle: Reform-based erotic fiction! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-Lf...

The destruction of US democracy before our eyes at the hands of a guy who, when he is awake, is so very clearly in it for the money, is very depressing to the rest of the world, particularly as the rest of us cannot afford to ignore the US.

Reposting this everyday until Pete Hagueseth faces justice for his crimes against humanity.

I feel sympathetic to Corbyn and Sultana because I think they mean well, but the Greens and 'Your Party' are not in the same league and it’s time for left-wing voters to plump. Corbyn and Sultana's outfit is a shambolic mess. The Greens under Polanski seem like a real force that is ready for power.

DON'T investigate Farage. He knows nooothing... youtube.com/shorts/0VBo8...

Sorry for recycling old material, but my points from this article in April still stand. The critical US media constantly announce that Trump's approval rating has hit a new low, but right now it is at 36%.

Josep Borrell, Kallas’s predecessor as head of EU foreign affairs, said: “Trump’s plan to end the war in Ukraine exposes the failure of the EU’s appeasement strategy. Giving in to his demands on military spending, tariffs, digital deregulation, multinational taxation

The world seems to have moved on from Gaza since the ceasefire declared on 11 October. But Israel has not actually stopped its aggression. Since 11 October, the IDF has killed at least 339 Palestinians including 70 children.

One thing that is exciting about the rise of the Greens under Polanski is the intelligent debates that he is sparking about the choices that might be possible to manage the economy that balance fairness and pragmatism.

Who really thinks Trump's name will be left in these files when they are released?

Yup. The US under the Trump family is officially a banana republic. It is ALL about money and power.

The flag shaggers have been out hanging their St George's flags in Westferry, London. (The blurry picture is through my dirty hotel window.) It is a shame the council allow them to co-opt our flag as a symbol of their right-wing nationalism.

Carole Cadwalladr asks why the Labour gov are choosing not to investigate Russian interference in British elections and referendums

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

Dear oh dear! Nige's evasions reveal his real beliefs more clearly than if he'd said, 'I meant every word of it and still do'.

Recently I have been teaching a series of courses on Power BI, a tool for helping managers to make fact-based decisions based on visualisations of their data. On my train journeys to the clients i have been reading the excellent book 'Win Every Argument' by Mehdi Hasan. He talks about the

The unique thing about America is it is so full of transparently stupid symbols. No other country attaches cultural meaning to particular words like America. Marjorie Taylor Green got elected by driving her pickup truck into a field and shooting paint cans with 'SOCIALISM' written on them.

"You can agree or disagree with him, but Polanski does not pretend to be something he is not. He is unusually willing for a politician to give a straight answer to questions. Does he want to rejoin the EU? “Yes." observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

Before everyone gets too excited about the release of the Epstein files on 19 December, here is a reminder: the person occupying the White House is a convicted criminal and sex offender and there are credible allegations that the files will show he was heavily involved in Epstein's crimes.

When a senior politician like Farage works so closely with Russian traitors like jailed Nathan Gill and Russian assets Oleh Voloshyn and Konstantin Kilimnik, then either they were in it together, or Farage has incredibly bad judgement. It's one or the other. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDUm...

It looks like, with Trump in charge, the burger-eating surrender monkeys are at it again: total capitulation, and then some. The strange thing is that America has the power to push back and they choose not to. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

The conversation from 2:32 in which Bannon lays out to Farage the plan of how to turn Europe into a right-wing autocrat's playground is chilling. And it seems it was Farage's idea all along. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQEh...

Symbols of fascism to be reclassified as not fascism.

So Nigel Farage, what drew you to choose billionaire convicted fraudster, sex offender and alleged paedophile Donald Trump as your mentor?

Are you surprised?

If a man said what Megyn Kelly said, you would assume he was a trafficker. This young lady is wise beyond her years, but she is still a “child”and she would like a word…
