The Palantir thing is a disaster - but also an opportunity: cancelling it sends a message without threatening tariffs.
Some people say Keir Starmer has been dealt a bad hand.
We're still in January and he's already signed a defence deal with Palantir - knowing full well how unpredictable and dangerous the US President is.
We're way past the point of giving pleading appeasement speeches.

When Trump says "one way or another we're going to have Greenland" - we should sit up and listen.

The government must work with our European partners on retaliatory measures to hit Trump and his cronies where it hurts, unless he drops these tariffs.
It's time to show that Britain stands with our allies and we won’t be bullied into submission.

When we said NATO wasn't working we were derided.
When we said a nuclear weapons system relying on the US is dangerous we were called stupid.
The truth is the establishment are more interested in kissing US feet than keeping the UK safe.
It's time for a rethink.
