There’s plenty of options that could be done. Doing nothing isn’t one of them. 

Doing nothing is always a good option. The PM should try it more often, then he wouldn't make a mess of everything.

I Would go along with that.

The yanks are very precious about their flags. Remember when Sinead O'connor burnt one on stage many years ago?

 

Still wouldn't change anything sadly.

Keith is only thinking on how to keep the 'special  relationship', special.

America can take Greenland tomorrow and fuck all the UK or the UK can do about it.

They could sell off the bonds, along with other countries, to China preferably, but I doubt it would happen.

We are too wedded to America and that has come at a price, which we are now seeing.

There is little Starmer can do in this battle.

I am sure talks are happening behind the scenes and hopefully Trump pulls back from taking Greenland, but I can't see it.

He is too far into this now to back down.

I’d imagine they’ll have a quiet word at the Davos works jolly. 
He’ll back pedal from it, he just needs a way to do it without losing face with the crayon munchers that vote for him

Macron threatening the anti coercion instrument.

Showing some cajónes perhaps it's a response to all the cheese eating surrender monkey jibes?

But they don't have to sell off the bonds they only have to threaten to do so. Play poker with Trump and there's every chance he would shout 'snap!'

But we are dealing with a deranged person, who has surrounded himself with even more deranged people. 

I think he and his cabal of cunts have passed the point of no return now. 

I hope the EU find some balls to deal with it, as I wouldn't be expecting anything from the UK.

That is true but I reckon make Wall St and the $ wobble (OK the world catches a cold) and he's gone. Sure it's a risk but if Europe is smart about this they can possibly set themselves up as the leading economic power. The UK  could .... oh wait.

I see Macron has got a black eye, did his "wife" hit him again?

Probably not, but thanks for the edgy take.

It's good to know what the tabloid-fodder are believing.

How is it edgy, dId you not see his wife hitting him on a plane last year?

[Don Julio]

You don’t think putting wife in inverted commas was edgy?

It’s nice to know that Reform are even worse at politics than Labour & the Tories 

They’re basically the party that lost the last election in a landslide. Good work Nigel 

[swaddon]

All these Tories signing for Reform just want to get back into power by any means necessary.

Poor Nigel

starting to realise he is now the leader of the party that failed previously- wonder if he will use the same anti-immigration messages to stop defecting tories before they bring him down

Can actually see the Liberals and the greens doing well by default
