Remember the Soviet joke about a man who always goes to look at the papers but never buys one. The news agent asks him what he's looking for and he says, "An obituary" and the news agent points out that they're always in the back section. "This one won't be".

We're all laughing at him mixing up Greenland and Iceland, but he's only doing it because taking Iceland next is what they were discussing on the plane over.

Someone in Ukraine just commented on one of our videos to say that even though they were having power and heating issues they were still managing to watch us.

What’s next? Hiring psychics to predict crimes before they happen and arresting the culprits for ‘precrimes?’

It was be a lovely irony if Farage’s mate Trump was the reason the UK rejoined the EU.
Trump’s tariff threat must be the final straw for Starmer - time to rejoin the EU

They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

It’s time to remove the US army bases from the UK.
Rare combative tone from Keir Starmer on the Trump tariffs tonight, as he stands up for Greenland/Denmark.
"Applying tariffs on allies for pursuing the collective security of NATO allies is completely wrong. We will of course be pursuing this directly with the US administration."
