I have a crazy theory that Trump might actually have a strategy. It’s to scorch-earth the US economy. On its ashes he & his successors will build a society in his image, it will look sound and feel like Trump-land, like that crazy Trump Gaza AI video. More Stalinist than fascist. More revolutionary

96 MPs just voted to abandon the ECHR. No surprise where they come from: the DUP and TUV are NI religious extremists, while the Tories and Refuk are far right populists exploiting ignorance. These are the architects of Brexit, now turning on your rights next. #ukpolitics

Finally, a politician talking sense...
@zackpolanski.bsky.social:
“I think rejoining the CU is something we should be doing as soon as possible”
“Over longer term, absolutely we should be rejoining the EU".
“I think Brexit was a catastrophic decision".

Ending EU free movement a ‘disaster’ for Britain, says Green Party’s Zack Polanski
The party’s new leader calls for the migration pact to be reinstated as he sets out his stall on Brexit.

Farage isn’t a politician; he’s a peddler of prejudice. His racism isn’t subtle, it’s the main act dressed as “straight talking.” A fascist tribute act leading a racist sewer called Reform UK, bigots posing as patriots, fuelled by xenophobia, arrogance, and hate.

What a chancer Nigel Farage is. His Brexit caused a massive surge in immigration, and now he tries to position himself as the person who will sort it out.
Reform is the answer to none of the UK's problems, unless you think that billionaires need to be even richer and you don't like having an NHS.

So when Farage rails against the latest migration figures, he's railing against a monster of his own making. The EU didn't impose uncontrolled immigration on us; it offered a framework that reflected geography, economics and reality”
ie - control.

People are just realising that we had a better grip on immigration within the EU
They gave us bar staff and builders - we gave them sunburnt pensioners and seaside property booms. It was win-win.

The threat to our society is not from asylum seekers in small boats. It’s from politicians and media cynically whipping up fear and prejudice, labelling them all as criminals, inciting hatred against people for where and what they’ve fled from.
It must stop. For all our sakes. It’s deeply sinister.

This Fourth of July, I am taking a moment to reflect. Things are hard right now. They are probably going to get worse before they get better.
But I love our country — and when you love something, you fight for it. Together, we will continue to fight for the ideals of our nation.

Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2025 last night.
So he went from the LA rally to Coachella. He's 83 and fighting like this. This should be an inspiration to all of us. If he can do this, we can all do a little more.
