Another alliance between Trump and Putin - and Farage and Johnson back chanting in unison with the Russian Embassy. Just like old times!

While I don't agree with everything in @rosenstead.bsky.social's piece, she's bang on about One Nation Cons not being Liberals
I mentioned this in a recent article, while some remaining Tories are gettable tactical votes, they're not long term switchers

When I made my blogpost on this I was asked if the flaggers were actually aware if what they were doing would be percieved as racist and if my Nazi Germany comparison was just. I said yes with some doubts, but it's safe to say my gut feeling was 100% correct.
Wherever we looked for the prominent flaggers and leaders of this movement, we found people smugglers and sex doll salesmen, people with dubious criminal pasts and people willing to put in a good word for Adolf Hitler.

I can't stop thinking about what Macron said about this last month.
“We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to American and Chinese social networks, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies.”

Elon Musk is deliberately using his platform to poison our politics and divide our country.
It's time for the government to wake up to the threat he poses to our democracy.

Not convinced we should be putting companies out of business and centralising wealth even further in the name of further oppressing 1% of the population but if you want a perfect encapsulation of rightwing ideology, this is it.

I don't understand what she's complaining about, they still do the first thing, all she has to do is open up a Vogue and her problems with magazines will be solved.
Glamour UK Magazine made 9 trans women as their collective Women of the Year
Instead of offering congratulations, JK Rowling naturally tried insulting them instead
Glamour’s response, however, is priceless

Lib Dems, I know there are many concerns about the updates to Lib Dem quotas - and your voices deserve to be heard.
I've already shared concerns that have been raised with me but

Very upset about the rug pull from HQ over gender quotas in Federal Elections over the frankly awful preliminary ECHR guidance that'll be meaningless in a few months anyway. It's quite clear the EA is no longer fit for purpose.
