If Britain and Europe are to devise their best response to Donald Trump, they badly need to come together. That will require more ambition on the British side and more flexibility from the EU

Donald Trump’s antics mean new boldness is needed in UK-EU links
From trade to defence, both Britain and the European Union must reset their ambitions for their relationship

Sharp and neat and so true. Never give up hope. Remember that the people running the USA now are dangerous clowns. When this is all over that is how they will be remembered and children who read history books will read about The Age Of Unreason.
The fascists don’t just want people to be afraid of dissenting. They also want you to feel hopeless and cynical, convinced change can’t happen.
They want you to just take care of your own life because the greater world is too much.
They want you to feel this precisely because things *can* change.

For the first time in over 20 years, Israel has deployed tanks in the West Bank, after expelling 40,000 Palestinians from refugee camps.
This is a prelude to full annexation, and makes a mockery of the ceasefire agreement that Israel continues to violate. [1/3]
