Is it any worse buying French made weapons than American? Europe as a continent, inc UK, will become mutually self-sufficient in defence over the coming years. We share the same place. Russian invasions in Poland or Estonia affect us all. So less myopic jingoism please.

Following on from The Atlantic's latest revelations there will have to be resignations. Based on previous form I expect vacancies for tea ladies at both the White House and The Pentagon. theguardian.com/us-news/2025/m…

The founder of Signal is now mocking JD Vance. 🤣🤣🤣 This is the content I’m here for.

The gov should let the Chinese close the Scunthorpe steel plant & immediately reopen it, even if some short term subsidy is required. In a changing world, esp Trump, we need core industry & food security. This is a start - next water & power. news.sky.com/story/thousand…

I’m trying but I can’t understand a worldview that sees Canada and Greenland as existential threats to America, but Russia and North Korea are nothing to really worry about.

Could Rachel Reeves have introduced a wealth tax instead of benefit cuts? Economists say yes bigissue.com/news/social-ju… #TomorrowsPapersToday #Journalists

Does Trump have an actual end game in provoking a probable world wide crash & turning every ally & foe against the US?

Ukraine is fighting to avoid being a Russian colony—not to become an American one. Our struggle is for sovereignty, dignity, and the right to decide our own future. Yet we are being offered a deal that trades one form of exploitation for another. Unacceptable.

BBC News, "What is the impact of Trump's blanket 20% tariffs?" Chris Southworth, "Companies will say the US is in an unreliable volatile market, let's look somewhere else to reroute trade" "We saw this when the UK left Europe with Brexit" "The original route for Irish trade

Besides creating uncertainty throughout global financial markets, service sectors and industry (including America's own) what did Trump achieve on Wednesday?

This is an event supported by Lichfield District Council & aimed at families who need support at another expensive holiday period.

Small countries with weak economies might well might wobble under weight of US tariffs, but the Chinese are clearly prepared for full on trade war. Are they also prepared for full cold or even hot war!? I wouldn't bet against it. God save us from Trump.

Any deal with this untrustworthy American government would be disastrous & for us & wider world; esp our main trading partners on the continent. We must stay firm. No US trade deals or any other deals.

Mike Harvey Rep. Steven Horsford America has lost the trust of a disbelieving and angry world. Trade needs stability & rationally agreed changes when required. Moreover changes need to be reliable to act upon, not changed on a wim of one inconsistent man.

Looks like the Tories and other opposition aren't so bothered about saving steel jobs

As the world trading system reconfigures, my view is that the best strategy for the UK, as a commercial society, is to work with the notion of building 'commercial partnerships'. This was, in fact, the strategy advocated by classical liberals in the 18th century: it was their

As what was 'British' Steel moves towards (re)nationalisation, let's hope that our water & other core public infrastructure make the same journey. Railways and Water are the low hanging fruit in this game.

As many folk on here will being doing, Im crying with laughter as Trump is made to look an even bigger fool now his tariffs have lost another war with reality. Exempting computers, phones, chips etc removes the bite. More importantly we now know for certain that Trump's a coward.

This was a c19th problem in the UK. The Victorians were anything but caring yet even they knew that adulterated food led to unhealthy workers. Unconstrained capitalism is evil. Regulation does cut a margin off profit but it is an general public good. Safety in food/goods is vital

This photo of Trump as Pope is on an official US government site apparently. There is nothing more that can be said about him. As a Catholic I'm utterly horrified.
