Huge plaudits to @financialtimes.com which has led the way on exposing Mandelson and has also done great reporting on the corruption of Trump. What a contrast to @thetimes.com which did a soft interview with Mandy and has been hopeless on Trump

It’s a real shame that Nigel Farage is too unwell to do interviews the morning after Donald Trump threatens us with sanctions.
Here he is with “the bravest man he ever met”. He campaigned to make Trump President, and has spent the last year enjoying all the chaos he has caused.

So much for the argument that the trade “deal” agreed with Trump provided certainty for the EU. Nothing will provide certainty with him in charge. Perhaps the European Parliament that still has to ratify the “deal” will take a stand and show that the EU is no pushover?

Q: "Do you believe that deadly force was necessary?"
Trump: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement…Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."

Love this from the Greenlander MAGA guy: “Greenlanders yearn for independence from Denmark and from “Danish elites” in Greenland who don’t speak the native language or understand local culture.” Yes because it is well know that Trump and MAGA are all fluent in the native tongue and customs
