Trump & Vance’s treatment of Zelenskyy was a snub to all of Europe. And the pair of them can fuck right off. I don’t want them having a single rare earth atom from European soil. I don’t want their military bases. I want Europe to throw everything into driving Russia off Ukrainian soil.

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

We all know the power of the USA, how important they are for keeping world peace. But they’ve elected a monster, a maverick, a felon, a dangerous loose canon. They DID this! Sometimes you just have to do the right thing & call out bullies & degenerates. The time is now. Stand up for what is right!

Perhaps we can stop being so parochial about Starmer's trip to Washington now. It was a failure. We are in a battle against fascism. And every decision we make is judged by whether it assisted or opposed it.

The Scottish Labour Party was a socialist party in Scotland that was active between 1976 and 1981. It formed as a breakaway from the UK Labour Party. It won 3 council seats in 1977 but lost its MPs at the 1979 election and was dissolved 2 years later. No longer registered with Electoral Commission.
