The far-right loves to harp on about an “inevitable” civil war. But does Britain really have the necessary conditions for panic on the streets? You’ll never guess the answer!
🚨 Civil war talk is everywhere on the Right. Musk says conflict is “inevitable”. Farage warns of mass unrest.
@philtinline.bsky.social joins @nndroid.bsky.social to ask where this is coming from – and what really causes civil wars.

This is a fascinating listen, not least because I had zero knowledge of Churchill sending a gunboat up the Mersey in 1911, bloody hell.

Spoiler alert, the picture is a bleak one. Nevertheless, great to pick the brain of @irgarner.bsky.social as we face another year of intense Russian aggression. Take a listen 👇
416,000 Russian casualties in a single year. The invasion of Ukraine grinds on. The losses mount. But is any of it enough to change Putin’s mind or is this war now unstoppable?

@chrisjonesprod.bsky.social sits down with @irgarner.bsky.social to find out.
