🇺🇸 “You can only influence Putin with strength, not weakness,” — California Governor
Gavin Newsom said that the US must act more decisively in supporting Ukraine. He recalled the partnership between the state of California and Ukraine, in particular, National Guard with Ukrainian military.

What's telling about this reactionary project is the cropping to ensure that no photo includes the staggering collection of skyscrapers which surrounds the site. Which tells us it is aimed solely at people who've never been there, a cousin to the "You get stabbed in London" posting of Reform-ites.
The 20th Century Society are on full meltdown on Twitter about the redevelopment of Liverpool Street Station, posting some of the least compelling before and after pictures in the world. To be fair, trad weirdos on Twitter are the only people who'd fall for this:

Gosh the strike price for onshore wind in CFD 7a is only £72.24. Quite a lot lower than the c£90 for offshore. We should probably do a lot more onshore.
Also Ed Miliband is getting it done!

Greens are the anti environment party. Pretty much all their voters are much closer to ‘conservationist’ than environmentalist. Which is why they constantly have green leaders campaigning against solar farms and new energy infrastructure like pylons, or insisting we should bury all cables etc.

Starmer could take off the table the possibility of a Reform government by doing electoral reform. He won’t because he believes it’s just Labour can rule us all with 32% of the vote.
itcouldbesaid.substack.com/p/it-could-b... This was meant to be about Labour's alternatives to Starmer but I just wrote & wrote about what a moral disgrace he is that I realised that was the column. Starmer is a bad man doing bad things for bad reasons. Quitting now is the only way to prove me wrong

The Labour party is famously "a moral crusade or it is nothing". On aid, immigration and trade they're going for the latter option, with betrayals of principle both repugnant and pointless. 1/n
