Arctic security can only be achieved together.

This is why the proposed additional tariffs are a mistake, especially between long-standing allies.

The EU and US have agreed to a trade deal last July.

A deal is a deal.

And when friends shake hands, it must mean something.

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask:

"If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

The UK was better off in the EU and Europe was better off with the UK in it.

All of this Trump driven chaos underlines that and you can practically hear Putin rubbing his hands in Moscow.

WE have deliberately weakened ourselves, our security and our region for absolutely no good purpose at all.

Note the last sentence: "OUR sovereignty"

This signals that an attack on Greenland is an attack on all.

A stern warning.

Honestly, speaking as a pinko liberal I am disturbed by how much these people want His Majesty’s Government and our allies to just role over for a bully and let them steal another nation’s territory, resources, and not least people.
So many members of the British Right right now are unmasking and telling us fairly clearly where they would've stood in 1938

This is “Exhibit A” for what it’s like when a malignant narcissist is given nearly unchecked power.

The Imago Dei in any person he does not like, or who offends him, is meaningless.

“As nightfall does not come all at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there is a twilight when everything remains seemingly unchanged. And it is in such twilight that we all must be most aware of change in the air...lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness.” #WilliamODouglas

I know this is hijacking a fun post with a serious point, but: the Feast of the Flight into Egypt is a commemoration of the fact that Jesus and his parents fled to Egypt as refugees, which should be more often remembered, particularly by those who say they want to defend the West’s Christian values.
So: happy... er, yes, well, happy this most holy of days to all who celebrate

Reform told you reducing council tax was easy. They just had to slash Woke policies, and a billion or two would be saved. They wouldn't even need to close care services.

They promise you that.

And then every single Reform-led council cut care services and increased council tax.

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.

Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

If a new app was produced which had, as its core features, the generation of sexual deep fake images of children and calls for a violent global far-right revolution, then not only would it be swiftly banned, but you wouldn't have a single mainstream politician willing to associate themselves with it

Not So Secular Sweden
Sweden used to be one of the most secular countries on earth. But over the past decade things have changed, and Enlightenment rationality seems to be on its way out.

If the Telegraph’s running a hit piece because we’re calling out Trump's law-breaking, we must be doing something right.

Why is Labour giving Trump a free pass to break international law?

We know what happens when US Presidents launch illegal wars. It’s why the Liberal Democrats opposed the Iraq War and it’s why we condemn Trump’s law-breaking in Venezuela today.
