That’s why Musk and Thiel are pushing this hard financially.
JD Vance is their man.
Trump gets the win, out in 12 months because of his mental health issues (which will also be used as defence for everything)
And Vance takes over.
(I predicted Trumps cognitive health and defence years ago)

According to the WSJ, during the Hedgehog 2025 exercises in Estonia, Ukrainian drone operators conditionally "destroyed" two NATO battalions in a day.
But a year has passed, lots can change. Hopefully…😅

This military exercise "Hedgehog" should have been an eyeopener or even a crude awakening for NATO countries! 🫣😖

If the Brexit years really were behind us, Reform would no longer be a threat, there’d be no talk of leaving the ECHR, no Brexit peerages or whining about ‘Brexit betrayal’.
Instead, there’d be accountability and an electoral price to pay for the damage done. A ruthless reality check. No prisoners.

When I lived in Japan, far-right parties used to drive around blaring out propaganda from loudspeaker vans. People saw them as public nuisances at best, dangerous nutters at worst. Interesting to see Matt Goodwin adopt the same strategy.

Note how he's not presenting any ideas, nor telling people why they should vote for him.

He's just insulting everyone else.

Unsurprising that most Scots back Sarwar's call for Starmer to resign, but the relevant numbers are towards the end of this piece:

Sarwar's net approval is down to -25 from -21 last month.

More 2024 Labour voters now disapprove of his performance than approve.
Majority of Scots back Anas Sarwar’s revolt against Keir Starmer
Despite the view that the Scottish Labour leader’s call for the prime minister to resign has backfired, it landed well with 52 per cent of voters

Sounds a lot like the EU Defence Union that the UK spent decades blocking while it was a member of the union.

Rearmament would be a lot cheaper with such a union and would actually give Europe the capacity for autonomous defence, which the current NATO spending plans do not.

In May 2019, a reporter from the far-right Canadian sewer Rebel News / The Rebel tried to interview people on the streets of Manchester about Stephen Yaxley-Lennon / Tommy Robinson who was standing as an MEP, and encountered the (NSFW but very honest) Queen of the North.
