@samfr.bsky.social I know this story is not as 'algorithmically juicy' as Mandelson but it's probably more important to the country's security...

Absolutely this.
The far right, with it's friends in the media, are really working the left's fractures. We need to unite.

Still, as has been written before, Brexit will destroy every government that tries to make it work. The current administration needs to grasp this way quicker than it so far has.

Agree.
Keir Starmer often irritates me, esp. in his refusal to grasp a customs union - the lowest-hanging fruit of European re-integration.
But any Labour MPs thinking of decapitating their government need to look at what happend to UK bond yields yesterday lunchtime...
This is where we are.

Who is the alternative, though?

All the right needs to do to win an election is split the left vote. They do this, sadly, by simply pushing us in the directions we're already primed to go in. We need to remember who the REAL enemy is and unify.

The extinction burst of this regime is in full effect. It will be bloody - but also short.

It's probably brinkmanship but I think there is a genuine need, on this side of the Atlantic, to know whether Americans and Europeans are still allies, one way or another.
Sorry, I'm not spamming the two of you! I trust in what you do.

The worst person to run the country, until you look at the alternatives.

Doesn't matter. They're all toast, and they know it.

It's all for bought if Labour don't sort their Comms out.

'Should alarm every American'....
It's more than just a procedural point.
Kennedy Jr. Policies are going to get hundreds, possibly thousands of Americans killed.
I think we need to stop sounding so bloody measured!

The Times have been cute with their language here. Saying it's 'not a threat to Ulster peace' is not the same as 'would not contravene the Good Friday agreement'.

Yes, a particularly dismal take from the BBC here.

Trump administration in 'doing something that might actually be useful ' shocker...

C'est ou, ça? C'est terrible.
J'allais dire c'est choquant mais je me mentirais. On a un vrai tendance à ignorer ces feux rouges... Et la réalité a tendance d'être assez impitoyable avec ceux qui se trompe.
