Oh look ! The pesky EU refusing to buy UK food containing pesticides and fungicides which it has banned, but which the UK allows "under its Brexit freedoms"
"Freedom" to use dodgy chemicals, eh ?🤡

and of course that's the EU "punishing" the UK again. Of course it is ...

Trump sued the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) for $10 Billion for “intentionally, maliciously, and deceptively doctoring" a speech Trump gave on 6 January 2021, before the US Capitol riots.

In court, the BBC asked Trump’s lawyers for the following:

Your move Mr Trump…

@SamCKx The other claim of Nige .. is that he wasn't involved in politics at the time as he wasn't an MP ..... whilst owning a political party.

It can take many leaders years to grow into the statesman you became in just two years.

European and Ukrainian security is stronger because of you.

Thank you, dear Keir.

La risposta di Giorgia Meloni: «Le dichiarazioni di Donald Trump sono totalmente inventate, sono francamente allibita. Non so perché il Presidente degli Stati Uniti si comporti così con i propri alleati, non è del resto la prima volta che accade. Posso solo dire che dispiace che non abbia la stessa determinazione con i nemici dell'Occidente, con i nemici degli Stati Uniti, con leadership con le quali invece si dimostra molto più accondiscendente, però una cosa se la deve ricordare: io e l'Italia non imploriamo mai».

Do listen!
I love intelligent political analysis that’s both articulate & well thought out.
And this video is a prime example of such analysis:
Prune Slater & Liz Truss proving once & for all that Reform candidate Rob Kenyon is neither sexist nor misogynist.

Quote of the day by Lee of Makerfield.

[Mike Pompeo @mikepompeo]

Within hours of being announced as the nominee to be the U.S. Director of the CIA, I received a hand-delivered message on MI6 stationery congratulating me on my nomination. It was signed simply "C" in green ink. Legendary. I shared it with my son and even he thought I was now cool!

More than that, this note, from Sir Alex Younger, Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service of the United Kingdom, confirmed what I already believed: the work that the CIA and MI6 did together mattered, that the partnership was critical, and that two leaders focused on the mission could save lives and provide tools for our nations to deter our adversaries.

Alex's passing this week brought back so many memories of our time in service together. He flew to Langley to see me the day I was confirmed. We brought our two senior teams together in the UK to plan and coordinate and build in the first several weeks of my time on duty: making clear to them all that this relationship was more than special - it was critical for the security of our two countries.

Alex was a remarkable intelligence partner. When we needed help, it wasn't "let me see;" it was "this matters to you and America we'll get it done." And he and his team always did. I think he knew we would do the same for him and his team and his nation. Many Americans are alive today because of his leadership of MI6, I never knew how to thank him enough.

Alex became a friend as well. In the years since we both left office we would see each other from time to time. He was always so kind, so thoughtful, so smart. His deep love of his country was surpassed only by his deep commitment and love of his family. Decent and proper - and funny as hell - Alex was "C." As espionage requires, he was quiet, not attention seeking. He knew what evil was and he was ruthless in his efforts to crush it with every legal tool at his command. And he knew who his friends were and committed himself to supporting them.

I miss Sir Alex Younger. He was a role model for me and a man with whom every minute I spent was valued and savored. Blessings to you Alex. Praying for you and for your family. Well done and may you rest in peace in His hands.
