Hitler said he would make Germany great again. He left it invaded, in ruins, and with millions dead. Mussolini promised to restore the glory of the Roman empire.
Never trust politicians who promise to make your country great again.

Back in November I told Westminster's women and qualities that the UK government needed to get off X.
The committee's chair @sarahowen.org.uk is completely right - X is not an appropriate channel for comms. Quite the opposite

Brexit is treason. It damages our economy, weakens our geopolitical position, makes us vulnerable to Trump's bullying. It serves Putin and Trump, and would not have taken place without Russian and American far-right interference in our politics.

The thing is, much as it is maligned, China does follow International Law and it doesn't bomb and invade other countries, but if Donald Trump is going to make this the new normal, why should they follow rules that only apply to them?

Privatisation, Thatcher stated it was necessary as only private companies would be able to invest in infrastructure upgrades and development. Turns out they took the huge profits & subsidies, paid themselves handsomely and rewarded their shareholders with the money.
Last month, tens of 1,000s of people in Tunbridge Wells lost their water supply. It wasn't fully restored for 9 days.
Our privatised water system is crumbling before our very eyes. Water Company CEOs are finding it harder justify their eyewatering salaries as they oversee failure after failure. 1/2

Just heard an AI ethicist talk about how important it is that we say ‘MEN are using Grok to undress images of babies, children and women’ not ‘Grok is….’. Grok isn’t responsible for the action, the men enabling & using it for this repulsive purpose are. Small but important bit of linguistic accuracy

Imogen Walker, Morgan McSweeney’s wife, was parachuted into the Hamilton and Clyde Valley seat.
She received £10k from Labour Together + £15k from lobbyist Gary Lubner, but her election returns only show £18k.
Now, she's the government's Assistant Whip.
