US Vice President J D Vance has read the riot act to the UK and the EU leaders at the Munich Security Conference.

Basically he told them all what their voters already know:

The EU and UK leadership is tone-deaf and needs to get a grip of migration, free speech and wokeness.

Apparently this came as a shock to many leaders still living in a cosy BT (Before Trump) world.

The UK continues to bark on the sidelines with former defence secretary Grant Shapps yapping:

No talks about Ukraine without Ukraine.

Talk about a double standard.

Not long ago Russia was persona non grata at any 'peace conferences' focused on Ukraine but now that Trump is talking directly to Putin about ending the war, the EU and UK are petrified that their long-held misinformation narrative about Ukraine is about to be blown apart by a sharp dose of Trumpian reality coming via his pitbulls, Vance and Hegseth.
