"In an extraordinary solution, Dover will have a virtual border. To ensure its integrity, buses will have their doors physically sealed with tape for the 1.4-mile journey across town to the ferry. Irregular movements will be monitored by AI"🤡

Taking back control of borders ...

And politically stupid, too. Alienates core vote (& they do have places to go) in pursuit of votes he'll rarely get, & demolishes his core policy agenda of growth, making his re-election more unlikely. Even those (inc. me) willing to cut him a lot of slack feel betrayed. A truly awful day for UK.

Dear UK, do you remember that you brexited and that you have now red lines?

I had a productive call with Ursula von der Leyen this morning. We’re ready to build on our free trade relationship, bolster economic security, and work side-by-side on shared defence and security challenges.

When Canada and the European Union build together, our futures are stronger.

🚨MAJOR DEVELOPMENT

Portugal has cancelled plans to buy F-35 fighter jets from the US and will look to replace their F-16s with European fighters.

“We have to be able to count on the predictability of our allies, which is no longer the case with the United States."💥

Splendid.

That message will kick Trump up his wobbly backside.

Ukrainian President #Zelensky just met with #KingCharles and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer-who made it crystal clear that the UK stands fully with #Ukraine.

This is leadership. You stand with #democracy. You stand with those under attack. Not the aggressors. 🇬🇧🇺🇦

Trump’s disgusting behavior in our Oval Office in the company of a genuine hero and defender of democracy like Volodymyr Zelensky may be the most disgraceful public behavior by any president in our history.

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

I think this is the closest many of us have ever got to seeing the real Trump. The only consistent thread in his entire unhinged rant was the love & praise for Vladimir Putin. Zelensky has more courage & dignity in his little finger than every member of Trump's regime & fan club combined.

GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.

ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

Very clear, strongly coordinated statement by European Council President Costa and (in the very same wording) from @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu.

This a transatlantic rupture to the core. And Trump deliberately provoked it.
Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people.

Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy.

We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.
