Trump is doing to America what Brexiters wanted to do to Britain. And because it's happening on such a huge scale, it exposes the true insanity behind the whole movement. There is no economic, moral or political justification for Brexit. It's the fascist invention of madmen and it must be abandoned.

Fellow book lovers! There is a better way to buy our books than Amazon. Instead of putting $ in Bezos' pocket, every purchase on @bookshop-org.bsky.social financially supports independent bookstores. You can even select the bookstore you'd like to support.

Extraordinary scenes in Serbia’s capital Belgrade right now.
Around 500,000 people are on the streets in what may be the biggest protest in Serbian history. All demanding the resignation of President Vučić & his government.
What began as a student protest is now a full democratic uprising.

Papers worldwide condemn Trump, in addition Trump has lost the Daily Mail. When you lose the Daily Mail you are a global pariah.
“Trump on Friday presided over one of the greatest diplomatic disasters in modern history.” "A spectacle to horrify the world"

Not sure why everyone seems so surprised that Starmer handled the Trump meeting so well.
He was DPP for five years.
He's used to dealing with criminals.
