Democrats at Munich security summit to urge Europe to stand up to Trump European leaders divided over how far to accommodate Trump’s β€˜wrecking ball’ politics and foreign policy

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
Any European leaders still clinging to the hope that Trump can be reasoned with or relied upon are deluding themselves. He's a psychopath that acts purely for his own self interest.

The sooner Europe strengthens itself and cuts itself off from him the better.

Global economy must move past GDP to avoid planetary disaster, warns UN chief Exclusive: AntΓ³nio Guterres says world’s accounting systems should place true value on the environment

"We must place true value on the environment and go beyond gross domestic product as a measure of human progress and wellbeing. Let us not forget that when we destroy a forest, we are creating GDP. When we overfish, we are creating GDP."

Kanzi the bonobo could play pretend β€” a trait thought unique to humans Past anecdotal observations have hinted that great apes play pretend. But now, experimental research shows that our closest living relatives can keep track of imaginary objects.

We have so under-estimated the capacities of non-human animals

A new video appears to show the moments leading up to a fatal shooting by federal agents in Minneapolis, with the individual appearing to simply record on his phone as agents escalated the situation.

Insult after insult after insult after insult after insult after insult from Trump towards the UK, Europe, NATO, Canada... and yet still not a single bad word said against Putin. I think we all know by now where he stands; firmly in the lap of the Kremlin.

1/ In Davos, @caolanrob.bsky.social tried to ask Steve Witkoff about his ties to Russia. Witkoff ran away - & is now in Moscow.

@bylinetimes.bsky.social has detailed Witkoff's financial dealings with a man at the heart of Putin's mafia state. Why are so few other journalists digging into this?

Also, this story illustrates a fundamental truth: Trump's opinions are shaped by the last person he spoke to

Nigel Farage apologises for 17 breaches of MPs’ code of conduct Reform UK leader, who failed to declare Β£380,000 on time, says he is computer-illiterate β€˜oddball’

No MP should be earning Β£380,000 on top of their parliamentary salary.

Farage manages it because he's turned "politainment" into a viable career. Like his US counterparts he's discovered that being a disruptor can make you very wealthy indeed.

1. Why is anybody still seeking Mandelson's opinion?
2. How do you take the heat out of situation when someone is coming at you with a flamethrower?
3. Over and over and over again we have seen that appeasment and "sense" have zero impact on Trump. Delusions will only keep you safe for so long.

Europe must stand strong and united against Trumpβ€˜s threats.

For now, a trade deal is off the table. The Commission must initiate the ACI.

We must target US Big Tech and its enormous profits in the EU.

We have the power to stand up to Trump, and we need to use it.

For well over a decade, Nigel Farage criticised Davos and just two years ago criticised Starmer for going and calling him a

"full-on globalist, hanging out with his mates at the World Economic Forum."

So, question. Where do you think Nigel Farage is going today?

Farage WANTS Trump to punish the UK - Greenland TREASON
Farage WANTS Trump to punish the UK - Greenland TREASON YouTube video by Femi - F Politics!

Let me get this straight:

Zia Yusuf says Farage WON'T call Trump to stop him putting tariffs on the UK over Greenland, as it's "not his place".

But Farage was happy tell the US congress to put tariffs on the UK over Lucy Connolly?

Reform UK = TREASON
