European leaders say tariff threat ‘unacceptable’ as Trump escalates plan for the US to acquire Greenland

The UK needs to have an “adult debate” with the US after Donald Trump threatened to ramp up tariffs until a deal is reached for the US to acquire Greenland, culture secretary Lisa Nandy said.

She said Keir Starmer will talk to Trump at the “earliest opportunity” but could not say if that would be at Davos in the coming week.

As the prime minister has very clearly said we disagree with this decision.

We’re going to go and have that conversation with our American counterparts, and while we’re having that conversation with them, we’re also going to be talking about the security of the United Kingdom and the United States and how our interests are better served by working together.

‘Enough already’: Jenrick’s defection gets mixed reception from Reform members

Kemi Badenoch said Robert Jenrick is now “Nigel Farage’s problem” and that he creates “instability” wherever he goes.

The Conservative party leader told the Press Association that Tories who supported Jenrick feel “betrayed” he has joined Reform UK.

Absolutely, he’s Nigel Farage’s problem. Now he and his acolytes are people who create instability wherever they go, and they can go do that in Reform.

They are a party that is just about people who want drama and intrigue - the public, quite frankly, are sick of this.
