So acc to a very agitated Malcolm Rifkind on Today we are in a national crisis re Immigration and the only solution is to leave the EHCR. - This won’t solve anything. It’s just Brexit 2.0. The absolute hysteria that has engulfed some politicians and the U.K. media is astonishing. To put it mildly.

Something we need to grasp is that Establishment power meant imperialism. Imperialism is a system of thought that sees upper class white men as the pinnacle of humanity, with a sacred duty to control the lives of others. What we now call the far right is an extension and revival of imperialism.

Today’s poem is called ‘How Much I Dislike the Daily Mail’.

How Much I Dislike the Daily Mail I would rather eat Quavers that are six weeks stale, blow dry the man bun of Gareth Bale, listen to the songs of Jimmy Nail, than read one page of the Daily Mail. If I was bored in a waiting room in Perivale, on a twelve-hour trip on Network Rail, halfway through a circumnavigational sail, I would not read the Daily Mail. I would happily read the autobiography of Dan Quayle, 1001 Things You Can Do With Kale, selected scripts from Emmerdale, if it meant I didn’t have to read the Daily Mail. Far better to stand outside in a storm of hail, scratch a blackboard with a fingernail, be swallowed by a humpback whale, than have to read the Daily Mail. If I was blind and it was the only thing in Braille, I still would not read the Daily Mail. Brian Bilston

Just forget appeasing these monsters. We must return to Europe and stop kidding ourselves we can have it all. We did that before and ended up with less than nothing. British politicians who support Trump betray Ukraine, betray us all. (Letter, Times)

Sir, Contrary to Edward Lucas's opinion that we should flatter Donald Trump, I think now is the time to do the reverse. Trump's attitude to President Zelensky, and the US president's appeasement of Putin, must drive the UK off the fence with a clear and unequivocal alignment with Europe and a much more determined coalition of the willing using confiscated Russian assets. Any settlement that does not have the full agreement of the Ukrainian government will not be worth the paper it is written on and will not last beyond the next Putin breach. Normal diplomacy with the US is effectively suspended while Trump remains in office, and we should not pretend otherwise. I know my Ukrainian friends would rather fight for their sovereignty than be betrayed by Trump. Simon Edwards

Sir, Trump has offered the UK better terms than the EU to drive a wedge between Britain and Europe. We must not play his game. If we do not stand shoulder to shoulder with the EU, it will become even harder to trade with the vast market on our doorstep.

Does Starmer still think that a trade deal with this clown is viable?

It’s not just that Trump admires Putin, he’s adopting his playbook. Trump’s comments today on Canada (“an arbitrary border”) and Greenland (“maybe more soldiers go there”) is EXACTLY how Putin talked about Ukraine. None of this is funny. It’s an explicit threat to sovereign nations.

He's also talking about lifting sanctions against Russia. Does anyone doubt who he's working for?

He is quite simply a traitor.

Europe is basically offering him the chance to feel important, but he's too stupid to understand.

Does he understand where Alaska is in relation to Russia, or is he prepared to hand it to Putin?

Starmer will be rolling out the red carpet for Trump’s second state visit. Any trade deal must protect our #NHS, including personal patient data. With #Trump, the world is realising that no deal is better than a bad deal. morningstaronline.co.uk/article/star...

So, he's going to hold a meeting with people who have to agree with him,or else? I wonder what the outcome will be?

This is openly doing Putin's bidding. Give Russia everything they want, and give me all your money.

Should we really spend money on a visit from Trump? If you rather the money goes to the NHS or another UK institution, add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

I remember when a balloon popped at one of his rallies, he shat himself and ran around like a headless chicken. Contrast and compare.

Depressing. He's a danger domestically and wholly owned by Putin.

Do have effective mechanisms to rid your country of this dangerous piece of shit? He's very obviously aligning with Putin.

I didn't know that he left early, but well done. Europe needs to up. I'm sure Trump is about to lift sanctions against Russia and fully align with Putin.

I'm no royalist, but this state visit is actually beneath Charle's dignity.
