Trump shenanigans contributing to Iceland decision to hold a referendum on joining the European Union. It will be the 11th non-EU country to apply to join. If this continues, Britain will be almost alone in Europe in being outside the EU, isolated, poorer and weaker.

Reform UK's policy on immigration of "detect, detain, deport" will be highly costly, involve sending money to authoritarian regimes, and have uncertain results.

“This was a cynical strategic manoeuvre to avoid losing voters to the far right, but it seems, based on polling, that all they have done is prime their own voters to join the far right rather than stay with the Social Democrats.” Another potential Denmark example for Labour to follow!

The Trump war on the press has reached the UK too. The BBC is being torn apart because of a dispute over how a video of Trump speaking on Jan 6 was edited. The pro-Trump crowd say it makes it seem like Trump was egging on his supporters to go to the Capitol -- which is exactly what happened.

As this vote moves to the House, I stand with Democratic leadership as they refuse to rubber stamp the full-scale Republican assault on Americans’ health care and I am proud of the majority of Senate Democrats who opposed this vote.

Statement from DNC Chair Ken Martin on Senate Shutdown Vote.

For 7 weeks, we have stood firm and spoken with one voice: we must save health care for millions of Americans. Donald Trump has made it impossible for families to make ends meet, forcing them to choose between putting food on the table or paying their medical bills. The last thing Americans can afford is their health insurance premiums doubling overnight. Let me be crystal clear: Donald Trump and the Republican Party that orchestrated this betrayal of the American people are responsible for the men, women, and children who will suffer because they cannot get the health care they need to survive. These are the same people who rushed to vote for tax breaks for billionaires. It is clear whose side they are on. As this vote moves to the House, I stand with Dem leadership as they refuse to rubber stamp the full-scale Republican assault on Americans’ health care and I am proud of the majority of Senate Dems who opposed this vote.

The Panorama edit was clumsy. But the facts remain. It was a violent insurrection to upend a democratic vote. Looking at the wild outrage here, we’d be forgiven for thinking Jan 6th never happened. In terms of bias, this is off the scale worse. With Farage delighting in the damage. (Extracts iPaper)

The White House's press secre-tary, Karoline Leavitt, poked fun at Davie's resignation.
On X, she wrote "shot" above a screenshot of a Telegraph headline saying "Trump goes to war with
'fake news' BBC".
Leavitt then added "chaser" above a second screenshot from the BBC website announcing
Davie's departure.
Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr, wrote on X that UK reporters were
"just as dishonest" as "the ones here in America".
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage said the resignations must be "the start of wholesale change"

The BBC's reporting is widely
viewed in the US, with the corporation positioning itself as an impartial alternative to partisan networks like Fox News.
The UK's right-wing GB News is winning friends in the White House and could be awarded reporting credentials after launching a new
Washington DC show.
One BBC News figure said: "This will have serious repercussions for the BBC's Washington team.
If Trump launches a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against the BBC, as he has with US networks, that would be disastrous. Tim needs to give a grovelling apology personally to the President."
