Looking forward to more extensive coverage of the civil war about to break out in our hellhole cities.

U.S. finds Ukraine did not try to kill Putin in alleged drone strike, source says Ukraine had been aiming to hit a military target in the same region as the Russian President Vladimir Putin’s country residence, a source with knowledge of the matter told NBC News.

You don't say...

Yup

Happy anniversary to you both 💐 🍾 🥂

America is dragging us down. Let’s grab the EU lifeline before it’s too late | The Observer When the US economy falters, ours follows. It’s time to stop tripping over Trump’s coat-tails

Well done Labour

Anyone who thought you represented real change now despises you.

Anyone who didn’t, still won’t.

People who weren’t that convinced but hoped for the best are out of patience.

You’ve managed to turn off everyone.

Quite the achievement!

Starmer is simultaneously detoxifying Reform and toxifying the Labour Party.
I ask again, what is he playing at?

Labour targets international students claiming asylum after election losses to Reform Exclusive: Ministers understood to be drafting white paper this month in move to reduce legal migration

Frantically learning all the wrong lessons.
People who want Reform policies will vote Reform.
People who want Labour policies ... well, perhaps they'll just have to vote Green.

Hey British media,
It’s no surprise that if you give Farage the run of the place, he’ll start winning.
Time to do your actual jobs and start interrogating him on his Brexit shitshow, his funding, his Trumpiness, his idiotic manifesto, his real plans for the NHS… instead of drumrolling him into No.10

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

Oh man, somebody get him out of there. He’s crazy.

How about extra 10% tax on all companies and high net worth individuals who donated to Trump and also operate in the UK? Starting with Musk, Bezos, and Zuckerberg?

Screengrab reading: Dear Russell Jones, Sorry, we can’t accept your petition – “Unilaterally rename the USA to The British Territory of South Canada”. We think you started this petition as a joke.

Busted!!

Love London ❤️

Chris Grey's blog - excellent as ever.

Perfectly captured.

Why are we so scared to accept the EU’s generous post-Brexit deals? Rachel Reeves and Keir Starmer are making a huge mistake in not openly embracing offers to cut red tape

"We need closer ties with the EU and now they are letting us know the door is ajar. All we have to do is push it open. And yet we cannot even find the strength to do it”

Five years on: stuck. New post on my Brexit & Beyond Blog on how the latest news (the 'wobble', PEM, AI, regulatory capacity, Trump etc.) shows there's still no post-Brexit strategy & perhaps none is possible - but UK is still not ready to admit it: chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2025/01/five...

Brilliant.

I’d take up diy if this is what it’s all about!

👏🏻 IKEA!

Sir Keir Starmer should aim higher in his reset with the EU And he needs to be clearer about what Britain wants

“This is the moment for Starmer to re-engage with the EU. On Feb 3 the PM will attend his first informal summit with other 🇪🇺 leaders in Brussels…and yet his approach is marked by a plodding cautiousness”

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps.

The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years.

History is repeating. Pay attention.

Over 60 German and Austrian universities, the German Federal Court of Justice and multiple top German football clubs have announced that they will be withdrawing from Twitter (X), due to US oligarch Elon Musk's "discussion" (collaboration) with Germany's neo-Nazi party (AfD) Alice Weidl.
