The perfect metaphor for Trump’s presidency is dead canaries. How many little dead birds do you need to see before you realise the air is toxic?

Execution in the streets! I’m sorry but I watched the video and a few minutes later found myself crying.
AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

This is one of the strangest and most screwed-up stories I’ve worked on. www.londoncentric.media/p/tiktok-lon...
Who's secretly filming fake TikToks inside Londoners' homes?
We tracked down the viral video account invading people's houses to spread false claims about immigrants.

My thoughts entirely. Avoided watching it until recently because …What could it add to Hannah Arendt? Was also concerned about how they would portray Göring. But Russell Crowe as a Nazi made sense and as Melissa says, the reminder is maybe necessary and timely. Watch it!
Just finished watching Nuremberg. Glad I did. The message is heavy-handed, but maybe it needs to be in this moment.

How dare the Coward in the White House undermine the bravery and sacrifice of our British troops.

Reform and Nigel Farage should be ashamed to associate themselves with him.

Americans are realizing that unfettered federal power to detain and arrest is a very dangerous thing. I learned that lesson as a child when they put us into internment camps just for looking like the enemy. Don’t go further down this road.

Hmm. Many molesters. Many, many molesters. Pretty incredible
A January 6th insurrectionist who Trump pardoned is now being charged with molesting a child.

Trump’s pardon released him from prison.

In a very minor way this reminds me of that time my local LibDem party told me not to refer to myself as a LibDem because they had expelled me. (They hadn’t, *they* got disciplined)
BREAKING

A federal judge STRIKES the words "United States Attorney" from Lindsey Halligan's signature and warns that he will refer her to disciplinary proceedings if she persists in calling herself one.

Trump is acting like an international gangster.
The Prime Minister has tried appeasing him for 12 months and has failed. It's time we finally stood up to him and united with our European allies to make him back down.

I agree. Entirely consistent. People saying he’s ‘working for Putin’ are also missing the point. He’s simply quite happy working WITH Putin. They are the same (although he is not remotely on Putins level intellectually)

Whether ordinary Americans want this future world order I have no idea.
January 20, 2026 at 11:05 AM
I’m going to disagree - respectfully - Trump seems entirely consistent here. He’s a bully. He admires other bullies. He’s happy to carve-up the world between three super powers - USA, Russia & China. We might think he looks insane but his party and his base in the States doesn’t.
I do wonder if Americans understand quite how insane he looks.
Q: Did you invite Putin to be on the Board of Peace?

TRUMP: Yeah. He's been invited

Q: Thoughts on Macron saying he won't join?

TRUMP: Did he say that? Nobody wants him bc he's going to be out of office very soon. If they feel hostile, I'll put a 200% tariff on his wines & champagnes & he'll join

There is a genuine appetite for challenge to our current governments – but one based on ideas rather than incessant internal drama.

Many former Conservative voters will be looking at this latest eruption and see it as the last straw.

Other, more moderate parties are available.
