David #Frum on #Bluesky. I think he's right about this. #Trump, #Vance and co. are utterly untrustworthy. There is no point in the #UK government trying to get advantages over the #EU with the #US, for Trump is (utterly perversely) only interested in #Putin's failed state, #Russia.

1st of 3 in a thread by David Frum In his first term, Donald Trump duped UK politicians into choosing the hardest possible Brexit by dangling the lure of a US-UK trade agreement. It never came to pass. Today, in an interview with a credulous journalist, VP Vance dangled the lure once more. Will i work again? 1/x
To the extent that Trump / Vance have a strategic vision for the US-UK relationship, it is not to strengthen the UK. The vision is to weaken Europe by severing UK from the continent. Trump-Vance true "special relationship" is with Russia. Russia desperately fears UK-EU unity 2/x
A savvy UK government would prioritize EU ties, not talks with Trump. His word is worthless, his intentions are malign, his method is chaos, and his preferred partner is Putin. There is no time to waste building strategic autonomy for EU+UK. Trump talks will only waste time. END

Britain cannot afford to gamble on America returning to its senses. We must urgently look elsewhere

Ministers are insisting that Trump’s regime can still be a friend. It’s a delusion and a lie, says Guardian columnist Rafael Behr

This is what happens when you elect a common garden slug prime minister.

"Other global leaders"? LOL

#Starmer #UK

From the Guardian's website today. Photo of Starmer, dark background. "Starmer to hold talks with other global leaders to discuss" (what they're going to discuss is Trump's new tariffs, oh so yawn)

“The faces are different, but it’s the same authoritarianism. Keir Starmer’s team might not look or sound like Donald Trump’s, but its policies on protest and dissent are chillingly similar. So is the reason: coordinated global lobbying by the rich and powerful, fronted by rightwing junktanks.”

Vilified, arrested, held incommunicado: that’s the price of protest in Britain today

It seems to me that whatever the charges facing the activists at the Quaker meeting house raid, their fundamental crime is dissent, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Well played Starmer - Rolled over like a puppy. On the plus side, giant tech companies pay fuck all tax, so a lower rate of fuck all is still fuck all. Imagine cutting disability benefits at the same time as giving the most profitable companies that ever existed tax breaks - what a time to be alive
