Meanwhile, in today’s master class of diplomacy. H/T 🎩 to Denmark 🇩🇰: Denmark just pulled off the diplomatic heist of the decade. They basically got Trump to re-sign the 1951 Greenland agreement, but added a genius "poison pill": the deal is only valid as long as the U.S. stays in NATO.

TRUMP HOODWINKED AGAIN

Trump gets the domestic headline, but Denmark quietly locked them into the European security architecture.
Masterful.

The thing about Gas Prices, is that the GOP has absolutely no way to claim that they can bring them down without also claiming they will stop the war in Iran. And that means standing against the asshole’s foreign policy, which they cannot do without passing him off. I love that dilemma for them

Rebuilding our relationship with the EU “is the cheapest way to boost the economy, the fastest way to unite Europe in the face of security threats and the best way to get leverage on a global system that no longer has an American anchor.” So obvious it hurts. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

When Andy Burnham served as the Manchester regional mayor, he did so in the only region of England that refused Palantir access to its data. Now, as British prime minister, Palantir could be his first major test in office.

Andy Burnham once kept Palantir out of Greater Manchester. His first test as prime minister is whether to cut the company’s £330 million NHS contract—and risk a rupture with Big Tech and Washington.

I'm not a Liberal Democrat (although I voted for them tactically in the recent Council elections to stop Reform), but the lack of coverage for their conference is very undemocratic. Especially given the blanket coverage Reform, with their handful of MPs, was afforded recently.

Personally, I'm writing to Stella and Pip to say I can't attend the wedding after all - sick grandma in Uzbekistan. I was, for obvious reasons (Stella deserves better), dreading the occasion, but the presence of children, particularly Sarin and Novichok, is just the last straw. #TheArchers

The RNLI rescued Luftwaffe pilots in WW2 because the organisation is there to 'save life at sea' - it's something to be immensely proud of. But as I've said many times before Farage and Co don't seem to have pride in Britain and its institutions beyond flags and crap Enoch Powell said 60 years ago.

Good letters in The Times on Canada’s moves towards the EU. Seems we’re far happier to discuss the strategic sense of Canada rethinking its allies and trade arrangements, than we are to discuss our own not-so splendid Brexit isolation. Looking very foolish again, UK.

EU suggestion of Canadian membership

Sir, Gerard Baker is right ("Grin and bear it, Andy, and stick with Trump", comment, Sep 18)……

….The problem is that the US is neither as reliable nor as reliably friendly as it once was. If it is willing to impose tariffs on friends, that economy becomes rather less reassuring. If the US prevents the UK regulating to protect our children, those new industries are not as positively transformative as we may have thought. And if Washington no longer thinks European security is its concern, then all that military might counts for little as far as we re concerned. Ultimately, the UK has little choice but to try and limit its dependence on a partner that is far less reliable than it was, and to do so, in part, by working more closely with its European neighbours. Managing this without further irritating the US president must be the ambition.

Sir, Mark Carney's address to the European parliament was
extraordinarily impressive. It was a vision of what politics can be when it looks beyond the next poll, election or headline. Carney spoke of Europe and Canada building something together based on democracy, freedom, sovereignty and resilience. He offered both a dream and a practical route towards it: co-operation in defence. energy, critical minerals, technology, Al, trade and education. What struck me most was the clarity and scale of his thinking. He spoke of the challenges confronting western democracies but did not simply complain about them: he asked what could be built in response.
His metaphor of the forest was particularly memorable: a single tree mav be brought down by the storm. but a forest will endure because its roots are interconnected. I am 80 and I cannot remember recently hearing a western political leader speak with quite this combination of ambition, seriousness and intellectual clarity.

This should be the moment people finally realise that Farage has turned them into fascists. If you’re choosing this dangerous inhumanity over the rescue work of the RNLI, you’ve lost your minds to racism and hatred.
