I want someone to actually call out Trump’s sanity and question his behaviour.
Sadly no leader can actually do so because of the tantrums.

But that's the point. You give into tantrums, it just escalates. Let's say Denmark do hand over Greenland. What will he want next? Ireland, Scotland for example?
How you going to stop him? This is problem when a superpower country forgoes the checks and balances letting a despot do what they like.
Thing is how do you stop him. We can't military and economically with out great damage. Without at the same time risking throwing Ukraine under the bus.
I do generally feel if he did take Greenland, we'd roll over
The only think is the US would be chucked out of NATO (not that Trump cares)
I can't see any military action in response.
"Since posting this the BBC has offered us one of their BAFTAs"
And there's the problem. We have the F-35, Apache helicopters, intelligence services, and servicing of are nukes, plus god knows what else linked to America.
It would take an estimated 10 plus years and god knows how much for the UK to get off America military reliance. That's would be whilst trying to support the Ukraine etc.
Hindsight being a wonderful thing but it's looking like a major strategic blunder by numerous governments
I expect china with the super embassy given the green light might look at a overall trade and visa deal similar to Canada.
EU and the UK are already coming together now.
Reality is Trump doing more promote global trade than any previous President.

If I were Burham I'd wait until the bext general election cycle and work as a successor to Kier than be a stalking horse.
Yeah get the rail system all set in stone for Manchester and the north and then move on after this wave
Really depends if he thinks the May locals are going to be a disaster and Starmers head is on the block.
Will he risk waiting for the GE whilst Streeting or someone else becomes leader.
What cycle are we in for locals? I know many are being pushed due to unitary authority changes.
They'll also have to be taken into account of previous in government hammerings that are common.
I dunno I think after the Tories psychodrama people are too focused on Starmer and not use to normality going which I still can't see happening this side of the of a GE
