Letter from Trump to the Norwegian PM says since he didn’t get the Nobel Peace Prize he’s decided he wants Greenland.
Even for Donald Trump, this is astonishing behaviour.
“Considering your country decided not to give me the Nobel Prize… I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of peace”.

Trump is dangerously out of control
It was precisely to prevent this sort of thing that the founding fathers created checks and balances in the US constitution
We need every single member of The Senate and Congress to grow a pair and stop this dangerous narcissist

Last year, we made the decision to step away from X.
The Royal Irish Academy is committed to creating, convening, and sharing knowledge for the public good and as an organisation we value Independence; Integrity; Curiosity; Openness and Rigour.
In our view, X no longer aligns with these values

Even when confronted with a 🇺🇸 #NationalSecurityStrategy planning their ouster, our centrist leaders have been silent in response.

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

Should Gibb be sacked? yes, obviously. He's an abomination of basic journalistic standards. His GB News channel spreads conspiracy theory & disinformation. His Jewish Chronicle newspaper spreads invented stories. He is plainly trying to undermine the BBC so it's as bad as everything else he touches.

Yes we've all felt immensely pissed off with the BBC from time to time
But it's clear that the attacks on it come from fascists and proto-fascists who want to shut down our powerful public-service broadcaster

The idea that digital ID cards will stop people working in the shadow economy and thus reduce small boat crossings is baffling
The very nature of the shadow economy (the only way asylum seekers can find work) is employers don’t check documents.. That would obviously continue with ID cards

There's a court case going on, but if Wikipedia lose it they're going to IP-block the UK because the only other alternative would be to put in adult ID checks.
