“86% oppose the United States trying to take control of Canada. Eighty percent oppose Trump serving a third term, 76% oppose trying to take control of Greenland and 66% oppose sending U.S. citizens to foreign prisons.” abcnews.go.com/Politics/ame...

Explaining the mythical trade deficit. Canadians buy 7 times more from the US than Americans buy from Canada. They are just a smaller group. #TrumpLies #NoKings #tarifs #corruption #blue #fotus #solidarity #TruthWarriors #theresistance #resist #FBPE #NAFO #FBR #AntiFascist #SaveOurDemocracy #Canada

I think Elon Musk set us back a long long way when it comes to campaigning to save the NHS 🚨🚨🚨 EveryDoctor had about 150,000 followers, I had close to 300,000. It became impossible to campaign on X, so we left 🚨. If you’re worried about the NHS, please follow me+ follow @everydoctor.org.uk too! 💙

What an absolute pickle this tariff war is becoming. The EU has announced tariffs on American boats, bourbon and bikes. Makes you wonder if they plan to work their way alphabetically through the list…

Another one with his hand in Russia’s till…?

Nigel Farage is once again showing his true colours as Trump’s spokesman in Britain. Zelensky has shown true courage, while Farage just licks Trump’s boots. It's clearer than ever that Nigel is simply out for himself and his masters in Mar-a-Lago

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

Farage doesn’t believe in the NHS any more than the Tories do. Right now we can see what the NHS is capable of under Labour, 2 million extra appointments just months after taking charge. You can't trust Reform with your health.

I note that Keir Starmer has come out against the Trump Netanyahu plan to ethnically cleanse Gaza, while Farage has backed it and Badenoch is silent. As the grandson of a survivor of the Armenian genocide, this matters. Don’t believe the lie that all politicians are the same

Excellent post, well worth a read. Thank you @iandunt.bsky.social ( tbh not sure about the class A drugs though…)

It's been a terrible week. A terrible, terrible week. The worst people on earth are full of energy and vigour, the best are defined by anxiety and self-doubt. Here are three simple rules to surviving the next four years, because by God we'll need them iandunt.substack.com/p/a-little-b...

Some lovely words for Christmas Day!

Susie Dent@susiedentwords.bsky.social

A few potential words of the day: Joblijock: a disturber of domestic peace (small children, cantankerous uncles, etc). Yule-hole: the furthest notch in your belt that you need to resort to at Christmas. Confelicity: joy in other people’s happiness. Merry Christmas.

Another perfect word from, er, Susie…I do it all the time!

Susie Dent@susiedentwords.bsky.social

Word of the day is a favourite, from old Scots. To ‘tartle’ is to hesitate while introducing someone because you have completely forgotten their name.

Please, if you are able, support Independent bookshops. They are the literary & social hubs of our high streets and communities. Without their continued support, we simply wouldn't be around to publish . Thank you.

My word of the day (and personal recommendation) is ‘snerdling’ (18th century): nestling cosily beneath the covers and holding off the day a little longer. Morning.

You are up to date.
