Amazing: I am a little squealing bitch for the world’s emperor, just as every British Prime Minister before me has always been a kneepad nympho for whatever it is the American President wants this week. If you don’t like it, fuck you. This is the only way that the world can ever be ordered.

I'm sure I remember a few years ago there was Venezuelan opposition leader on a video call with some very interesting 👀
books in the background. Not sure it was Machado or another figure.

Spray paint a plane and they'll detain you without trial and call you a terrorist.
Kidnap a foreign head of state - and Keir Starmer will make it clear we've played no part in it but will wait for the scheduled press conference in a few hours before potentially condemning it

I'm also not convinced that Maduro is that unpopular. Chavez, his predecessor was incredibly popular. Maduro has been limited in what he could do thanks to sanctions, but he's done a lot to improve the lives of ordinary Venezuelans.

Have zero sympathy for anyone calling Maduro a dictator because the US has quite blatantly been trying to overthrow the regime since Chavez took power. The main cause of Venezuela's problems has been US sanctions.

As the year draws to a close, I’m signing off 2025 with a magical find!
An ancient amber bear. Carved some 10,000 years ago, it washed up on a beach at Fanø, Denmark, from a submerged Mesolithic settlement in the North Sea.
✨ Happy New Year all! ✨

For most of my life the only use of Chesterton's fence I've seen is to build giant fortress around wealth and privilege.
It's grimly amusing to see actors who on a bunch of actors who usually scream "Chesterton's Fence!" about any law/societal change, talk themselves (and the rest of us) into making citizenship, the highest of all Fences, the equivalent of a revocable permit.

I love how Zack engages with the press, treating them as political actors in their own right and not just part of the furniture.
It's good that it's acknowledged that the press basically serves to pollute public discourse in service of an agenda.

Now we’ve finally recognised the government has absolutely fucked it, we need to confirm they have *very specifically* fucked it in their pandering to the far right, who need to be relentlessly opposed with everything in the arsenal of democracy. I welcome people recognising this, and joining in.

Labour never had much goodwill to start with. Their majority was based around incumbency plus beating the very low "better than the Tories" bar.
Their natural supporters despise them and the support the lent by the press evaporated the moment they were in power.

Glad the FT is asking the question. Even if I’m not convinced they found a compelling answer.
I get that Starmer & Reeves are unpopular, I really don’t understand the extent of the dislike.

Zack Polanski offering voters fantasy solutions, says head of Fabian Society
Joe Dromey, head of the Labour thinktank, urges his party to take on the ‘twin populisms’ of Reform UK and the Greens
The Green party leader, Zack Polanski, is offering voters “unicorns” and Labour must confront his “fantasy” solutions such as the idea that a wealth tax would fix the public finances, according to the Fabian Society’s general secretary, Joe Dromey.
Much of the government’s fire is trained on Nigel Farage. But in an end-of-year interview, the head of Labour’s internal thinktank urges his party to take on the “twin populisms” of Reform and Polanski. Continue reading...

The Shamima Begum decision is a litmus test for whether you believe in the basic liberal idea of the rule of law. It's terrifying that most of our political class failed this test.
