While we throw up barriers and initiate trade wars and unnecessary diplomatic crises around the world, other countries and trading blocs continue to strengthen ties to hedge against an unreliable US partner. This is generational self-inflicted long-term damage.

If true, the fucker MUST be impeached and the intelligence officers involved, stood up for treason.
I'm no expert but it seems to me whether he likes it or not, the US is still a member of NATO and has international obligations. Betraying allies in this way should lead to ending all intel sharing.

Who funds the Free Speech Union?
Toby Young’s outfit went to court to hide its donors. Today we reveal that funders include US anti-abortion groups, Brexit politicians and Tufton Street insiders.

Just like the Epstein Files, the crime is too big to be punished apparently. Law doesn't exist in the good ol' US of A anymore. It's the wild west.

This is the pic of Donald Trump on Epstein's plane with a child.
This is the pic the DOJ deleted yesterday.
Now they want to scrub this from the Internet.

Why do ICE agents carry guns?
Not one single report of them being shot at!!
Not one single story about apprehending anyone with a gun!!
Take the weapons away from the untrained, unrestrained, incompetent agents. Do it for public safety.

Nadhim Zahawi was made Chancellor by Boris Johnson, only to call for a new leader a day later.
He backed Liz Truss as PM, before being appointed Tory Chair by Rishi Sunak, only to be sacked over his tax affairs.
His defection to Reform UK is another step in an eventful political career.

Nadhim Zahawi and family fled to the UK from Saddam Hussein's Iraq as a child refugee in 1978. Unable to speak English when he arrived, he became a hugely successful businessman and an MP before serving as Chancellor of the Exchequor.
His origin story is the very antithesis of the Reform narrative.

Trump is pushing the invasion of Greenland again. Denmark needs to kick out the US, send a larger military contingent and air defence systems to protect against a US invasion and attacks. Failing to do so is dangerously shortsighted.

Denmark needs to get rid of the US military base in Greenland and so does the rest of Europe. They aren’t going to defend against a Russian invasion but open a secondary front line to invade you too. It’s time to kick the US out worldwide.

After this, the EU should absolutely proceed on the assumption that Trump meant what he said about Greenland. Nothing is off the table anymore.

I grew up as the internet was blossoming. The main two rules were simple; don't give out personal info and don't feed the trolls. What the fuck happened? Everyone, including my peers, seemed to have forgotten these two edicts. They've gotten complacent and it's dangerous.
