Trump complains about the non-existent Sharia Law that has apparently been imposed on London, then actually imposes Martial Law on US cities... how is this happening in the "Land of the Free"?

Newsom: Police should police—not the military. That’s what happens in third-world countries, and that’s exactly what Donald Trump is trying to impose on the American people: a mindset of militarization, power, dominance, and control—not the rule of law. This is a very, very serious moment.

England could face water shortages within a decade. Since 1989 population, homes increased - 25 reservoirs sold off, no new ones, no desalination plants, 1 trillion liters of water a year lost to leaks. Companies borrowed to pay dividends. No forward planning. Disaster made by privatisation.

Government fast-tracks new reservoirs to secure water supply
Changes to planning laws could speed up projects, but experts warn water consumption will also need limiting.

Most of the people who talk of little but migration also deny climate change, which will create such vast numbers of migrants that the dinghy crossings will look like a tea party. Ironically it may take this surge to persuade those who refuse to read any climate science.

Absolutely this. We don't "hold all the cards", and never did except in the fanatical and fantastical view of swivel-eyes loons such as Frost, Gove, Farage, Johnson and Braverman. Negotiation is a matter of give and take.

I had to go to A&E and was looked after by some wonderful people, many were what Starmer calls “foreign labour”. I apologised and thanked them for all they do, but one Englishman got angry with a nurse bc she pronounced his name Hadrian, not Adrian. This is what Starmer has underscored.

Absolutely this. Why are most of our politicians in denial at the obvious harm that this course of action has caused? Being politically scared of Farage and Reform is not an excuse. Bold action is needed.

"Last week, Trump acknowledged the potential impact of tariffs. American children might "have two dolls instead of 30 dolls" he said, but added that China would suffer more than the US." (BBC) So if the US cuts off one of its legs, Trump promises that China will cut off both of theirs?!? Demented.

Odd really - it has been pointed out incessantly that Putin has his own agenda & will demonstrate very little flexibility in negotiations, but Trump apparently knew better. Until the point where he found everyone else was right and knew more than he. Now he expresses surprise and irritation.

Quite. Presumably their fans are impressed by their ability to avoid paying their fair share. Just like the MAGA cult believe Trump when he says "that just makes me smart", even though a bin man in New York pays more tax every year than Trump has in the last decade. Oh yeah, men of the people. 🤢

Trump thinks he's a genius, because all his family & team have told him so. There is a TV series & a book that also tell him this, which he regards as factual documentaries, not the works of fiction that they really are. His supporters agree. I think he's an idiot. So do the IMF, it seems.

Rand Paul: "The whole [tariffs] debate is so fundamentally backwards & upside down. It's based on a fallacy & the fallacy is this: that somehow in a trade, someone must lose. That somehow when you trade with someone, someone is taking advantage of you... I have a trade deficit with my grocery store"
