The really insane thing is that (ignoring FindOutNow) most polls have the broadly defined “progressive” parties varying from marginally behind, to level, to marginally ahead.
And like… are they assuming that voters never change their views lol? The “progressive” parties had a clear majority in

Why is every fucking reply to this people failing to understand their using “anarchy” in its every day usage and not talking about the specific political ideology (that is at the absolute fringes anyway)

Clearly the only solution is to have trump over for a state visit every day for the next 3 years
We'll see, but I don't think the apparent TACO on Greenland will last long. It's just another case of "last person he talked to," and that won't be the Europeans once he's back at the West Wing / Mar-a-Lago. For their own anti-NATO reasons, too many in the inner circle are determined to push this.

Crying, begging, for someone to kill the myth that North Sea oil is some unutilised “get rich quick” button
We've had the UK's failure to adequately exploit North Sea Oil, we've had France's prescriptions, now we're onto Swiss watches not having a high enough tariff on them. Is each European nation getting a shout-out?

UK once ruled an Empire so vast, the sun never set upon it. Today, those former colonies hold the UK in greatest esteem.
Trump bankrupted casinos, an act nearly impossible to do by any but the most incompetent fools.
One thinks the UK will survive Trump's (putin's) taunts, easily.

It’s actually v funny that he’s choosing now to do a 180 over Diego Garcia because now farage can’t agree with him without looking like a traitorous cunt (though he is one) due to the whole, yknow, tariffs & Greenland thing

A lot of attention was given to the vibe-cession, but when are we gonna talk about the vibe decline (vibecline?).
I mean they weren’t even doing that badly?? Like sure a bit of relative decline compared to China, but the economy was growing steadily, it’s not like when the UK & USSR lost their

Trump's obsession with Greenland and erratic interventionism towards Venezuela are almost textbook case studies of a declining great power externalising its growing domestic instability into external imperial quagmires

Happily, 86% of our imports is not 86% of our equipment total - we have a large amount of domestic production.
86% of our UK arms imports come from the United States.
We are far too reliant on Donald Trump - he is unpredictable and dangerous.
Stop hoping it's going to go away. Time to stand up to the bully and to rebuild our relationships outside of the USA.

They were literally your closest friends until you decided to threaten them for literally no reason.
Bannon: Canada is in the vital national security interest of the US. This is inextricably linked to Hemispheric Defense. Hemispheric Defense for the US starts in Canada. Canada's rapidly changing, these people are hostile to the US. Not neutral. They're hostile to the United States of America.
NBC: Trump has privately intensified criticism of Canada, arguing it is too weak to defend its Arctic territory from Russia and China. He’s urging higher defense spending and deeper U.S.–Canada Arctic cooperation. Unlike Greenland, Trump is not seeking to acquire Canada or deploy U.S. troops there.

It is independent. Were someone to fire a missile at us tomorrow we could retaliate. What it is not, however, is totally self sufficient. Much in the same way without friendly relations with America we would be unable to maintain the F-35 fleet forever, the missiles would not be functional for
Keir Starmer says our nuclear deterrent requires us to have a good relationship with the United States.
But I thought we're always told our nuclear deterrent is independent.

Adding to this - some states outright offered us additional ships if they were needed, and we turned them down. The only real support we asked for was intelligence and ammunition form the Americans (as far as I’m aware)
Untrue, of course. UK got lots of support, and never asked for military intervention. But it's not the South Atlantic Treaty Org. At US insistence to avoid colonial wars, NATO only covers Europe, N. America, and the Atlantic north of the Tropic of Cancer. e.g. Hawaii and Guam aren't covered, either.

Your nato stance was, and still is, idiotic.
Regardless of the US, if the non-American countries leave the baltics will be invaded within a decade.

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.

I mean it’s a bit of a circular logic “labour can’t beat reform so I won’t vote labour - guaranteeing they won’t beat reform”
Anywho labour is not great, but calling them a reform tribute act *significantly* understates the danger reform presents. The potential harm labour may cause is *nothing*

Labour voters saying 'Oh would you rather Reform? 😏' is a total non-argument. Not only is Starmer a Farage tribute act, quite simply:
Labour are not capable of beating Reform.
