Checking in so I don’t lose you all.

Is today the day world leaders line up on opposite sides for a verbal punch-up?
My money's on team Carney/Macron. Let it be so!

TokyoSushi · 21/01/2026 08:55

Checking in, goodness knows what’s going to happen on this thread, could be all out war or could be a series of massive TACOs, 🍸🍹all round!

BestIsWest · 21/01/2026 11:05

PMK. I’ve had a massive crush on Mark Carney for years.

I gave up on President Trump’s speech last night.
I think I heard about 30 minutes of it and it was so rambling. I missed anything to do with Greenland.
I wonder if he’ll be the same today , or be told to keep it short ? Will it be a bit of a stand off? Will the other leaders refuse to listen ?

the80sweregreat · 21/01/2026 11:38

Mark Carney was always impressive as the Governor of the Bank of England and during Covid times.

Needtosoundoffandbreathe · 21/01/2026 11:39

BBC News gave up on Trump's speech last night! He threw his script away and rambled on.

Carney's speech this morning was excellent. I am at work so have no idea whether Donald has even rocked up yet.

BustingBaoBun · 21/01/2026 11:58

Thank you @Spandauer

I have a crush on Carney too... I've always gone for men with big brains, I think he has one 😃

Well for some of the stuff about Greenland he said "Iceland". So it was easy to miss!GrinGrin

Brew all round.

And there's Gin on the side; I think we may need it!

TemporarilyCantDoMyself · 21/01/2026 12:28

Definitely a Ginday. 😬

PerkingFaintly · 21/01/2026 12:30

Oh and my money's on lots of sound and thunder signifying nothing from the Trump administration about Greenland, followed by quietly TACOing out.

Although Trump's the sort who'd deliberately run over the cat on his way out, so probably something like that too.

This makes up my very favourite team - for reasons that do include their political approach of course.
Shallow yes - but I keep checking on myself to make sure I’m not ever as shallow as the orange one.

He needs the dead cats 😞
There are shocking rumours about what he’s hiding in the Epstein files - but I know we’ve seen unfounded rumours on all sorts of things so …

He's on! (On about Biden already...)

JoshLymanSwagger · 21/01/2026 13:41

He sounds ill. 😁

RedTagAlan · 21/01/2026 13:46

Is it a repeat of his UN address ?

BruceAndNosh · 21/01/2026 13:47

Thankfully Im about to go into a meeting.
God I hope they slow handclap him at the end.
Any chance of Oscars walk off music if he exceeds 30 mnutes?

DuncinToffee · 21/01/2026 13:47

I have it on mute, let me know what the audience reaction is, thanks

countrygirl99 · 21/01/2026 13:47

I hope the whole audience is sitting there with arms crossed and sullen looks.

DuncinToffee · 21/01/2026 13:49

Is it his mate Farage telling him about the no go London?
