Europeans need to have their eyes open about what is happening across the Atlantic. Or they are in for a very rude awakening. The denialism on this continent is dangerous.

Step back and take it in: the US is entering full authoritarian mode | Jonathan Freedland
Trump’s dictator-like behaviour is so brazen, so blatant, that paradoxically, we discount it. But now it’s time to call it what it is, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland

The UK today has a serious problem with disaffected young men and toxic male influences, and I’m beginning to wonder whether the people who defunded youth clubs, youth provision, and outdoor activities over decades did so to create the space in which the hard right could thrive?

We didn't dream it! 😡💥 The respectful way Keir Starmer talked about foreign workers when he was running for Labour leader is the exact OPPOSITE of the Farage-cloned way he talks about them now. But to see it here in black & white is still SHOCKING! #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

Putting aside the moral depravity for a second... does Labour not employ strategists?? Far right policies literally only benefit parties that are not in power and don't have to actually implement policies that hold no weight beyond rhetoric. That's kind of basic. So what are they thinking??

If Labour accept Trumps demands, we need to remove Labour from power. Trump wants: - no DEI - no fact checking - complete freedom to spread toxic lies - no environmental protection - complete split from EU - leave EHCR - privatise NHS - unsafe US hyperprocessed food to flood markets - compliance

America is nowadays an exporter of the worst, most backward ideas. Requests to remove books from library shelves are on the rise in the UK, as the influence of pressure groups behind book bans in the US crosses the Atlantic, according to those working in the sector.

Trump is defying a Supreme Court judgement to return a man wrongfully deported to a foreign prison without any due process. This. Is. A. Constitutional. Crisis. Not that you would know from today’s front pages. Most suggest it’s all El Salvador’s fault. A colossal failure of mainstream media.
Front pages of the LA Times, Wall St Journal, Philadelphia Inquirer and Washington Times. Three have pictures of the Trump/ Bukele meeting, none of the headlines mention Trump is defying the Supreme Court. Three focus on El Salvador refusing to release Garcia Front pages of the Washington Post, Miami Herald, New York Times and Minnesota Star Tribune .

If the tariffs hit hard tomorrow - and to be honest, either way - the UK needs to respond with a strong 'Buy British' campaign. Canada has done it to great effect. Time for some progressive patriotism to stand up to the Orange Menace and his callous trade war.

The video of Trump’s deportees arriving in El Salvador is horrific. This is 21st century Nazism. Identities concealed, trafficked to a foreign labour camp. No due process, no evidence of crime. Dehumanised. Where is the global outrage? The crime is historic; the normalisation catastrophic.

"We are not going to come forward with a wealth tax" Labour spelling it out for anyone who had any doubt. Squarely in the corner of the richest. Refusing to tax assets & property anywhere near as high as they tax people in work. The poor will have to pay again. #r4today

Fascism is about manufacturing crises; the far-right doesn't just not care, it revels in the chaos of collapsing institutions and social structures. Labour bowing to the pressure of their immigration rhetoric is an immense failing, playing straight into their hands.
