Trump's utter, utter naiivety and incompetence is showing Canadians that their dependence to date on the USA for trade & defence is not writ in stone.
PM Carney is changing their outlook and their confidence and their internationalism.
Expect much more from Canada as the USA declines.
Remember - this is the BEST citizen the US could find to lead them.
If new immigrants are genetically inferior to old immigrants, natural selection is allowing Americans to surge ahead. And Donny is as great as they've managed to get.
I'm speechless.
Americans - tell me you're gobsmacked too...
The Pacific fleet's got nothing to do at the moment, Donny.
You could a) send it up the Yangtse or b) head for Hormuz.
Surely, yours is the greatest navy in the history of the world - what possible help could we be?
If you’ve spent years abroad paying little or no UK tax, it’s reasonable to pay Capital Gains Tax when you return.
You’re coming back to the roads, hospitals and schools the rest of us have been funding.

Remembering the Angels of Dunblane and their teacher on the 30th anniversary of that tragic day.
Thoughts, love and prayers to their families, friends and everybody affected.
#Dunblane #DunblaneMassacre #30Years
Thanks for that, Nige. If there's one thing we're short of in our wild desire to be like America, it's multiple mass murders every year.
Dear UK electorate: this man is SO divorced from reality, he will NEVER be able to provide anything approaching good governance.
If you marry in haste...
Churchill has only been on fivers since Sept 2016!!
His real & lasting legacy outside of WWII is the ECHR! Which Right Wing Nazis want to abolish! Talk about spitting on his legacy. Scum
The additional cost of ONE fossil fuel price spike on the scale of 2022 = the ENTIRE COST of Net Zero by 2050. We get precisely nothing in return for the first cost, and a whole new, more secure and cheaper energy system from the second one.

I think that most people would support a by-election when MPs cross the floor - their sitting MP now adheres to a different party ethos.
It would mean that MP possibly losing a by-election - and their job on the gravy train.
I don't think we're going to see turkeys voting for Christmas, are we?
Suggest SE Water starts building reservoirs from its divis & bonuses, to meet future housing needs.
Start NOW!
What sort of idiot drew up contracts with these people without putting mandatory clauses in place to keep up with existing demand and new demand?
Ofwat is supposed to be on OUR side.
Repatriation from Dubai because things are getting tricky? Charge them £1m/head up front and see what taxes they owe. Refunds can be made where appropriate.
Just watch how quickly they'll comply with HMRC demands for information...
I'd say we're at peak capitalism just now. Multi-billionaires abound, oligarchs all (mostly), workers on lowest wages struggling to get by. Everyone in their place, AI lining up to crush more.
Time to try something else?
All deserve a comfy existence but profits for the rich would need moderation...
How many nations have been subjected to military action since Trump commenced Operation Nobel Peace Prize against Iran? 10, 11?
I wonder if they'd support my nomination of the Orange Paedophile to the Nobel Peace Prize Committee?
I wonder if the cttee hasn't got egg on its face for getting it wrong?
In your name, Americans.
You are better than this.
Get them out of office and, indeed, into jail.
Daily, the IDF, its commanders and supporters demonstrate that the depths of depravity which they reach with ease are merely stepping stones.
These people can not be described as human. They are as animal as hyenas ripping apart a carcass and have not a vestige of civility.
Are you getting ready, Daily Mail, Express? Will your rabid outrage at state pensioners getting more pension (but possibly paying more tax) be exacerbated or diminished by a govt announcement?
Let me guess.
'Reeves, the devil incarnate.'
or maybe
'The ultimate betrayal!'
Gissajob.
Given the current debate about new British Bank notes, may I propose:
🤔
See?! See what sm does to you. It turns you into a brainless idiot! Not you - I mean me! At some point in my past, I was reasonably intelligent... 🤡
Yay! Winner! A perennial favourite of IT Audit! 🤣
Donny's brain passeth all understanding, just like a falling oil price.
Seriously? If Iran was so inclined, a quick sortie over one end of the canal or the other to bomb/sink a tanker would render the canal impassable. Then you'd have an impassable strait, an impassable canal and a humungous construction bill. And no oil.
Free solar & wind. Cheaper than a canal. Jdi.
Pension funds investing in UK water companies should get out now. The groundswell of opinion is running against polluting WCs and it's not going to end well. Be professional, identify the elevated risk & save UK pension funds from taking the hit. Other investments are available.
Sharing from Twitter. I wish Labour posted here!!
“Well we were doing war things”…
“NO!”
UK democracy in action.
Thousands of unpaid carers prosecuted for inadvertently breaching benefit rules.
No Post Office exec prosecuted for false prosecutions of postmasters.
In 2017, 72 people died in Grenfell fire. Execs “deliberately concealed” the fire risks of cladding. No one prosecuted.
Badenoch is a complete twat. She's happy to support the US & Israel but not Iran... or the UK government, it seems.
It used to be the the case, did it not, that His Majesty's opposition support the government in the matter of foreign affairs?
It sure is time for the UK to rejoin the EU.
#CBI - It's your members who are:
• Struggling with expensive bureaucracy
• Missing out on foreign markets
• Losing out on haulage contracts
• Losing out on EU funding
• Looking on as EU competitors grow.
Why don't you consult members & push the govt.?
With every passing day, the decision of Starmer and his cabinet a) not to join the Iranian war b) to delay access to bases looks wiser and wiser. Trump’s press conference last night shows he has no real idea what the objectives are and its duration is arbitrary.
Desperate not to appear 'anti-Trump' (as he would perceive it) in the wake of his $10bn action, no doubt.
While you're all busy looking at the 3000+ military strikes on Iran, in the US/Israeli operation 'Wait! What's that over there', has Israel finished erasing Gaza from the face of the earth and how is Trump's beachside paradise coming along?
