You don't have to like Trump. But America is at war. And we Europeans shouldn't let the American people down. Now is not the time to act like a sulky child.

Pull out of NATO entirely. Pull out of Europe, watch Putin test Europe, watch Poland stick with US, and a few other smart ones.

Many people are under the mistaken belief that Iran owns the Strait of Hormuz. They do not. It is international waters and they have absolutely no right to blockade it or demand a transit fee.

England banning Kanye West from entering the country because of his past comments is insane. No American citizen should be barred from entering England for any public commentary on any subject, no matter how offensive, period.

A View From Yorkshire 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
The UK had a choice when things kicked off. Stand properly with our closest ally… or hang back and pretend that sitting on the fence somehow looks like strength. And we chose the awkward middle ground — not quite in, not quite out, just… there. Now people will say that’s “measured” or “responsible.” But to anyone paying attention, it just looks like hesitation. Because the US isn’t just another country we occasionally agree with. It’s the backbone of NATO, the partner we lean on for intelligence, deterrence, and the kind of military weight that makes other nations think twice before doing anything stupid. Which is why this isn’t really about Iran at all. It’s about what happens if that backbone decides it’s had enough. Take the US out of NATO and what are you left with? A handful of capable countries, yes — but nothing like the same level of reach, power or deterrence. Certainly not enough to make the world’s bad actors lose sleep. And the UK? We’re good… but we’re not “replace the United States” good. Nobody in Europe is. So if Washington starts looking across the table and seeing allies who hedge, hesitate and only show up when it’s convenient, you can’t blame them for eventually asking what they’re getting out of it. That’s the bit people don’t like saying out loud. And here’s another question people dodge — if this had been any other US president, would we have been straight in, shoulder to shoulder without all the hesitation? It’s hard not to think a lot of this comes down to the fact that Western governments simply don’t like Trump. He’s not one of their usual, predictable operators, and that makes them nervous. Whether you rate him or not, that discomfort clearly plays into how willing they are to be seen standing alongside him. Instead, they reach for the Falklands. “Ah, but the Americans didn’t help us then.” Except they did — just not in the way people imagine. No Hollywood carrier group charging in, but plenty of the things that actually matter. Intelligence, logistics, weapons, and support through Ascension Island — which, yes, is British, but at the time was being run as a joint UK-US staging base. They could have made that operation far harder than it already was. They didn’t. They helped make it work. In other words, they showed up like real allies do — not for the headlines, but in ways that actually count. Which brings us back to now. Nobody’s saying we needed to blindly charge in. That’s not the point. But there’s a difference between acting independently and looking like you’re trying to keep everyone happy while committing to nothing. Alliances don’t survive on technicalities. They survive on trust. And if we start looking like the sort of country that wants the protection of NATO without ever really sticking its neck out when it matters, we shouldn’t be surprised if one day that protection starts to feel a bit… optional. Because without the US, NATO isn’t some iron shield. It’s a polite conversation. And that’s not much comfort when the world stops being polite.

Marco Rubio, if Nato members won't let us use bases, we have no reason to be in NATO; they can expect a response after Iran.

🚨VAR missed an offside offence in Southampton's winning goal against Arsenal. 📸Larin, who was in a clear offside position, obstructed the keeper's vision of the ball. ❌IT'S OFFSIDE. 👉The striker causes Kepa to react late, therefore impacting his ability to save the ball.
