The Johnson Government was notoriously lacking in competence and integrity. It is good to see the Conservative Party being purged by these defections.

I hope and trust that the Conservative leadership will be suitably grateful for this initiative. There is no future in a Party that is just marginally less extreme than Reform

Absolutely right @andy4wm

Well said. It would be good to see our front bench be a little clearer in their condemnation of the destructive and insulting behaviour of the US President

You were one of the High Priestesses of Brexit - hostile to decisions taken within the EU involving British participation. Now you want to encourage @potus to veto matters within the sovereignty of the UK. These are matters for British decision-making

Get off your knees! It doesn't seem that Trump has a veto on this - and the deal has been endorsed by his Administration

This explains why those in the White House are vexed that Ukraine feels that it has the right to defend itself rather than rolling over before a more powerful Russian neighbour. They believe that might is right. God help the world

What absolute baloney! Unfortunately, and I have been an Atlanticist European throughout my life, the Trump Administration is trashing the rules based international order and, through its policies on Ukraine, tariffs and Greenland, destroying the West

You could use this to design the secret basement sections of the proposed Chinese Embassy in London

Are you suggesting that there may be some inconsistency between Nadhim Zahawi's speeches and his current embrace of Nigel Farage? What could his motive be???

The facts are beginning to get in the way of Reform's "Lawless Britain" narrative.... https://t.co/SvDtaqbc5r

This is very poor from Kemi Badenoch. Greenland should be a second order issue because the US should not be threatening violence against a NATO ally - but it is threatening to breach international law and to basically replicate what Putin is doing in Ukraine

Superb Edward Heath Forum event in conjunction with the Europe House Liaison Office. The Rt Hon Liam Byrne MP, Chair of Business and Trade Select Committee, delivered a masterful analysis of trade policy in connection with China and wider international priorities. This reflected

The US Administration should read this new paper from US think tank CSIS on the right approach to Greenland and its mineral wealth

It is clearly absurd for @POTUS to aspire to be awarded a Nobel Peace Prize whilst threatening armed force against Greenland - together with expressing contempt for international law that is fundamental to keeping the peace

We have a lot ahead of us in 2026. Taking Greenland shouldn’t be on that list. Instead, we should continue building relationships—through trade, tourism, cultural exchange, and indigenous governance—rather than sending provocative messages that undo decades of trust.

This sounds suspiciously like looting. The natural resources of Venezuela are part of the national patrimony of the Venezuelan people and not open for seizure by the US

Interesting that the US will be leaving the Intergovernmental Forum on Mining, Metals and Sustainable Development - which does excellent policy work on critical minerals - supposedly a US priority
