It is utter bullshit that the mistaken splicing of two bits of his January 6th 2021 speech on Panorama in October 2024 had any significant impact whatsoever on the reputation of Donald Trump in Britain, or globally, and the claim for $1 billion damages is bullshit and bullying by the US president

Trump's January 6th speech analysed by the BBC: it is an anti-democratic speech, telling a crowd lies about a stolen election; it calls for people to "fight like hell" & calls for "peaceful and patriotic" protest (against the legitimate winner of a democratic election)

Rejoining the EU won’t happen overnight, but we can start by rebuilding cooperation with the EU. This should include realigning the UK as an associate member of European agencies, rejoining key European programmes such as Erasmus+, and seeking deeper agreements with the EU across the board.

The farming sector has been one of the most affected since Brexit. Farmers are experiencing a loss of profit after a drop in subsidies after we left the EU. It’s essential that we work with Europe to save British farming.
