Scam alert for authors. I was approached by someone posing as "Jacqui Gifford" of publishers https://t.co/QDFwwW3FHx. "She" introduced me to "Ethan Bassoff" of agents WME Group. "He" steered me to "Claire Wingfield". If you see any of these names in gmail ignore or report them.

Congratulations to Westminster Council for their acceptance of Banksy’s brilliant statue near Pall Mall. Let’s hope it stays — a welcome note of calmness and humour at a time of growing extremism.

Statement from the Premier of Greenland 🇬🇱
January 13, 2026
3:40 pm

First and foremost, I would like to repeat: Greenland is not for sale.

Today, we have discussed our cooperation between Greenland and Denmark. And let me clear that Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark. Greenland is based on the rule of law and democratic values with self-government under the Kingdom of Denmark.

The situation is very very serious and geopolitical interests have put massive pressure on our country and its population.

Greenland is, as a part of the Kingdom of Denmark, a member of NATO. We have great faith in the NATO-alliance. And know that NATO supports us in this situation.

And the support from Europe and Denmark is absolutely crucial in the current situation.

We stand together for the inviolability of territories, for democratic values and for the protection of democracy.

Our goal and wish is to continue a peaceful dialogue based on cooperation with respect for our constitutional position, international law and the right to our country, and our right to self-determination.

But there is one thing everybody must understand.

• Greenland does not want to be owned by the USA.
• Greenland does not want to be governed by the USA.
• Greenland does not want to be part of the USA.

We choose the Greenland, we know today, and which is part of the Kingdom of Denmark.

We face a geopolitical crisis. And if we have to choose between the USA and Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark.

We choose NATO, we choose the Kingdom of Denmark, we choose the EU.
It is not time for internal discussions and division.

It is time to stand together and continue to build upon the community we know and the community we wish for.
