I love dogs, especially mine (Gatsby). I'm also trying to stay better informed about politics in the UK and the world from rational and non hateful sources as I'm tired of self gratifying vitriol.

Where are the poppy patriots? Why are they completely silent on this grotesque insult to our armed forces and specifically the 2,000 UK service and civilian personnel who were injured and the 457 who died in Afghanistan?
imagine being the father or mother or son or daughter or sibling of one of those brave British troops who died in Afghanistan, and having to listen to this crass ignorance

Key aspect of this speech is that it's a lecture instructing Europeans to elect governments that will emulate his mix of policies and his racist ideology. That's the nub of it. Greenland, the attack on NATO, are all aspects of a much bigger, much more threatening picture.

It's wildly overvalued, politically extreme and puts Trump first – but somehow has £1bn of deals to run Britain's tech infrastructure
