Post war western Europe is simply the best society that this species has ever managed to create. Never forget it. Defend it for all we're worth.

Welcome to 2026. Where the world order as we knew it seems to be over. What next? Taiwan? Greenland? Balkans?
The U.K. must double down on its relationship with the EU. For it is Europe alone that is now leader of the free world.

The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.
The US has declared rhetorical war on the EU
The calls from America this weekend to destroy the EU are revealing. They hate the union because it's the only thing that can keep European countries from being Russian or American vassals.

It’s gone so quickly from ‘boat people’ to all immigrants. So quickly from ‘I don’t mind if they come here legally and pay taxes’ to ‘actually it’s anyone foreign’. We are living in the ‘first they came for’ poem. All to give the population a scapegoat so the super rich can hoard yet more wealth.

What's the oddest thing to see in UK politics this morning?
My contribution would be the new Leader of the Green Party, leading a choral rendition of "Lib Dem fightback", at Lib Dem conference 10 years ago.

This Archie Bland piece is such a thing. Beautifully written, heartfelt, triumphant. He's on Bluesky but not active. He should know this is a lovely masterpiece.

The boy who came back: the near-death, and changed life, of my son Max
It was, we were told, a case of sudden infant death syndrome interrupted. What followed would transform my understanding of parenting, disability and the breadth of what makes a meaningful life

What Larry said:
The stages in MAGA responding to a negative story:
1: It's all lies
2: Most of it is lies
3: Some of it's true, but it doesn't matter
4. It's all true, but it's fine when we do it
5. F**k you

Fridman is perhaps the most execrable of the podcast bros. He started as a vapid monotone charlatan but has blossomed into the most pathetic venal bootlicking sycophant for powerful men while pretending to be some hippy love-preacher to mask his opinionlessness. A pitiful husk of a human. Loathsome.

Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up.
I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9
