Donald Trump is pursuing regime change in Europe | Jonathan Freedland

When are we going to get the message? I joked a few months back that, when it comes to Donald Trump, Europe needs to learn from Sex and the City's Miranda Hobbes and realise that He's just not that into you.

That has enormous implications for the continent and for Britain, which too many of our leaders still refuse to face.
