Just to be clear Mexico and Canada both sent firefighters to so Cal to help. They are good neighbors and they deserve our respect.

Sign of the day…

The shitbag is going ahead with it! Can’t believe this!
What a bunch of traitors!

Dear Americans,

Since when did 'The Man in the High Castle' become an aspiration?

Independent front page Wednesday 22 January: Trump to hold UK over barrel on trade Insiders say new president 'holds all the cards' in negotiations as 'desperate' Britain will be forced to accept terms of any deal to kickstart slow growth - and can't fall back on China or EU DAVID MADDOX IN WASHINGTON DC Donald Trump's newly elected administration believes it has Sir Keir Starmer's government "over a barrel" on trade as Britain becomes increasingly reliant on a US deal, insiders have told The Independent. Senior sources within the US president's team claimed that the UK has no choice but to seek a trade agreement after the prime minister said that his government's success would be judged primarily on economic growth. With Britain's relations with the EU strained following Brexit, and only a modest investment deal secured on Rachel Reeves's recent trip to China, one Trump aide said it was time "to remind Starmer who holds all the cards in this relationship". Washington has long wanted the UK to lift its import ban on chlorinated chicken and hormone-treated beef, a move the former UK ambassador to the US Kim Darroch warned would destroy British farming.

Oh look. Yet another Brexit benefit…
The thrill of being “held over a barrel by Trump” who may let us sell out our farmers and stock our shelves with hormone-pumped 🇺🇸 shite if we ask v nicely.
Because the option of properly fixing what we broke with the EU will piss off the Daily Mail.
Chef’s kiss.

Holy shit.

This is real.

Joining the EU Single Market Could Be the Gamechanger for Keir Starmer's Government Both the UK economy and the new Labour Government needs an urgent shot in the arm. Could this be the solution?

Britain can’t face that threat alone | Jonathan Freedland The president-elect’s hostility towards other democracies is already clear.

If Trump wants to rename the Gulf of Mexico - perhaps a more appropriate name would be the Gulf between Decency?

Good to see Mexico and Canada helping their neighbours.

NUMBER CRUNCHING £300 Fall in annual GDP per head in last eight recorded quarters, which Nigel Farage cites as the reason people are 'economically angry; we are getting poorer' £1,000 Loss of annual GDP per head caused by Brexit so far

Far right honker, Nigel, furiously peddles stupid, prejudiced ideas that make you poorer. Then, when you are poorer, he tells you you’re right to feel angry about that. But not with him.
For love of god, England, work it out…

Schiff: "I've been in Congress a long time approving aid after disasters. I never once even considered 'is this hurricane hitting a red or blue state?' ... we need the incoming president to view it that way."

Imagine a system where there are no forms or copays - no threat of bankruptcy.

That is the NHS here in the UK.

Sure we have problems - we spend too little on it and it could do with more capacity but when people are sick, worrying about paying isn't one of them.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus on California: We have fire crews in the danger zones. The Canadian military is now on full alert to help. That’s what we do—we help our neighbors in times of crisis.

The fact that Trump isn’t there.. is shocking but this is what criminal grifters do.

Daily Mail article on Cummings & Musk together plotting to destroy UK government.

…and confirmed by a Musk ally.

I’m sick of these Brexiteer Brits who are keen to sell us off to the highest bidder in the US.

Join European Movement everyone - and let’s build the resistance to this.

Should California keep more of its own tax money that currently subsidises Republican states?

Don’t let anyone forget it.

I find it incredible that whilst Mexico & Canada are helping their neighbour with the wildfires, Republicans are threatening to withhold help from their fellow citizens.

They think a world without decency and friendship between neighbours and allies is a good one.

Huge gratitude for our neighbors, Mexico and Canada have sent fire fighters and army to help us.

Firefighters from Mexico just arrived at LAX. They'll be joining 14,000+ personnel already battling the #PalisadesFire.

California is immensely grateful to our neighbors' support in the fight against the wildfires in Los Angeles.

Elon Musk and Dominic Cummings 'in plot to sabotage UK politics' Boris Johnson's former No 10 adviser is planning a new 'StartUp Party' which he hopes will smash the traditional Westminster system and is understood to be communicating with Mr Musk on WhatsApp.

‘It is not just Elon – Dom is in constant contact with major Silicon Valley figures, who are becoming increasingly anti-woke’.

Sources said Mr Cummings and Mr Musk were exchanging ideas via a WhatsApp group shared with an unidentified American businessman
