These so-called "patriotic" 🇬🇧newspapers who brought you Brexit were never really patriotic at all.
They are driven by a disdain for Britain's European neighbours, and a fawning obsession with America.
They do not really want 🇬🇧 to be sovereign. They're content being a 🇺🇸vassal.

@eddavey.libdems.org.uk ok so how can we disentangle ourselves from our security and intelligence relationship with the US in a responsible and realistic manner? This has to be a large factor in the government's posture towards the US.

If you keep trying to be friends with the angry lion then you shouldn't be surprised when the lion attacks anyway.
We need a long term security pivot away from the United States, starting now.
We need to stop pretending that the post WW2 order still exists. It doesn't. Trump trashed it.

The answer to the question 'why are Republicans complicit with this?
A lot of them want this.
They hate Democrats, immigrants, the LGBTQIA+ community more than they love their country and its Constitution.

We're now at the 'Join the Nazi party or we will make your lives hell' part of the proceedings
What Homan says out loud about this is bad enough, but what he's not saying - but certainly knows - is that Trump's followers will harass, stalk, and threaten people whose names are publicized.
They're going to start using the Kirk witch hunt strategy.

All they want is WestminstEnders.
Political pundit class in the United Kingdom yearns for the days when every story could be a no-facts-only-vibes "what does <latest thing> mean for the political fortunes of Boris Johnson?" blag, and actively resents the way complicated events in the outside world keep pushing them to do real work.

Constitutional or not, if you have a government that will break the law, ignore the courts, follow no rules, there is no check and balance for that. None.

I'm not sure it matters. The military, ICE, national guard, they have shown they will dance to this administration's tune, legality be damned.
