Honestly, that Musk comment to the polish minister is just.. horrifying. Are they bothering to care about diplomacy or allies, or do they all want us to put two fingers up at them.
We need to decouple from the US as quickly as we can. We can’t bridge anything with those loons in power

It was obvious Reform had peaked, to much laughter when I said so weeks ago.
Farage will not be PM, he simply cannot form and hold a party together that is aligned in values and mission.
I now doubt they’ll even win that by-election.

A Crufts judge once told me off for "wasting my dog” for not taking him onto the show circuit..just after that same guy had disqualified him from an amateur show for growling when the judge tried to look in his ears.Meanwhile world affairs can wait, while the dogs in the Working group enter the ring of the world’s greatest dog show….Is there a modelling category for your dog?
I told him I’d be wasting my dog if the high spots of his life were travelling the length of the country to be stood on some table while some random bloke tried to poke about in his ears.
So showing isn’t our thing.

So this is the state of US and Polish relations today.The attitude of the Trump administration is grovel, or we won’t talk to you - and when you do, don’t dare argue with what we tell you.
I knew Trump 2 would be very bad but I wasn't expecting it to be this bad* so quickly

*Evil is the right adjective given how they've treated Ukraine.
Trump shows more respect to the two bit dictator that rules North Korea than he does to any of his supposed US allies in Europe. The room for triangulation is becoming non existent.
And, btw, little Marco, Russia already borders Poland.

I don't think that he hates this country. But he wants a different country from the vast majority of the population including me and you.If Farage had lead the campaign it would have lost. It was Johnson and Gove that won it.I've always believed that Leave won despite Nigel Farage, not because of him.I've always hated Nigel flipping Farage. You are welcome to join my club.If you look at the responses to Farage/Reform on Facebook and Twitter, he is being pulled apart by supporters of Lowe as well as people who've always hated "Nigel Fucking Farage".There's now an unholy alliance between the left and the right to bring down Nigel Farage.What are you on about?
The growth of the right-wing media ecosystem will make it much harder for Farage to control the narrative this time.
He was a tosspot in 2016, but he still "won" Brexit.
I don’t like Farage fundamentally because I think he hates this country.

Trump: As the stock market is down I'm going to pretend I don't care and it is all part of my brilliant plan.https://x.com/atrupar/status/1898739213656285519Curious.
Trump: "There could be a little disruption. Look, what I have to do is build a strong country. You can't really watch the stock market. If you look at China, they have a 100 year perspective. We go by quarters. And you can't go by that."
Would you mind translating into English?

Neither is the original.SNL looking more like a documentary than TTOI...Mike Myers' Musk isn't very good, IMHO.

Although incredibly rare, it is possible to become prime minister without having a seat in the House of Commons. Out of Canada’s 23 prime ministers, just five have done so.The next Liberal leader of Canada will be announced tonight, Mark Carney the favourite over Freeland.A prime minister without a seat in parliament.

Meanwhile Trump tells the Spectator Conservative Party of Canada leader Pierre Poilievre's '...biggest problem is he’s not a MAGA guy, you know? I mean, he’s really not he’s not a Trump guy at all.' Which ironically might boost Poilievre in Canada

Incredibly rare? 5/23 is just under a quarter. Journalism these days…
