✨ A few years back I stood outside Wells Cathedral for a full day and photographed the impact of the light on the front facade. I was amazed at the outcome - at how a single entity could morph and change under the changing light. 🌅 #thread

Nice graph but the boob expansion guy said this budget was bad for the 99% so who should I believe?
Overall, the combination of tax rises and giveaways since last year’s Budget is progressive.
Incomes for households in the bottom half of the distribution have increased by 1.0 per cent and incomes for households in the top half fell by 0.7 per cent.

A long thread of really useful background on where RFJ Jr. and MAHA came from. Follow it down past the Debby Boone part; there's a lot to take in. But it matches many of my own experiences and reading in these areas:
Thinking back to November 2023 when Soledad O'Brien and Rob Reiner devoted their time and clout to this credulous conspiracy podcast about the JFK assassination. Feeding the anti-government conspiracy theory mill when there were 12 months to go before a crucial election was, IMO, a bad choice.

Absolutely this, George. It's the same old argument from people who don't actually know the facts but parrot the words because they heard someone else say them who sounded convincing.

🧵 This piece captures a core problem of the hollow democratic state: politics has become performance, optimised for visibility, not understanding.
Farage is winning because politics has been reduced to clickbait.
It’s a shallow spectacle that favours clowns and con-artists.
As @jemmaforte.bsky.social says here - politics has been “repackaged into junk food.”
But there are ways for the left to fight back 👇🏻
