The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Jeez. This is absolutely appalling & shameful from Trump and Vance. President Zelenskyy is the democratically elected leader of a sovereign country who is bravely standing against the illegal invasion of Ukraine by a murderous ACTUAL dictator called Vladimir Putin

The slow, slow road back to sanity…. we hope…. A functioning, cooperative relationship with our own continent, rather than an idiotic and dangerous ‘tilting’ towards a USA that absolutely cannot be trusted. (Letter in the Times)
Sir, This welcome news of more rail routes reflects other practical ways in which life is likely to improve for UK and EU citizens in a post-Brexit "reset", which may include implementing a reciprocal youth mobility scheme, easing trade friction, eliminating checks on exports of food and plant products, easing travel for pets ... but wait a minute.
Didn't we once have all these benefits? The past may be a "foreign country" where "they do things differently", as LP Hartley said, but perhaps the realisation is dawning at last that we have more in common with Europe than we thought.

Yes, Donald. The USA has fallen to tyranny. You’ve collapsed the Constitution. Torched American soft power. Allowed a drug-addled menace to trash any and all govt departments. Risked the world’s health and safety. Betrayed your citizens and your allies. Hand claps don’t come any slower than this.
