The BBC chair rightly admits an error in editing Trump’s Jan 6 speech. But he does not challenge the false Trumpian claim in the dossier: that Panorama “completely” and “materially”misrepresented its meaning. This is not impartiality. It’s surrender to post-truth populism.

The crisis at the BBC shows how embattled and defensive serious news organisations have become - and how close they are to yielding, pre-emptively, and being overwhelmed, by authoritarian populists.

Putin’s war or Russia’s war? At the level of responsibility, Russia’s war. At the level of guilt, Putin’s war. That’s because there is such a thing as responsibility by association, but no such thing as guilt by association.

Any decent historian reads European decline in this statement. Tightening Russian visa rules for Europe while relying on Russian resources, underfunding Ukraine, and inviting Putin to visit the EU is like decorating a bucket with a hole in it.
Starting a war and expecting to move freely in Europe is hard to justify.
The EU is tightening visa rules for Russian nationals amid continued drone disruptions and sabotage on European soil.
Travelling to the EU is a privilege, not a given.

The neoliberal element in Trump-type politics is the way it depoliticises its opponents while dismantling democracy. If you’re against it, you’re meant to see it not as real, but as an annoying TV show.

Are Trumpism and Putinism coherent ideologies, and which will outlive its 'creator'? Post-truth politics is part of a profound transformation happening globally, leading to political crises in the West and Russia. Vlad Vexler thinks both will collapse. @vladvexler.bsky.social - youtu.be/PT3rESTV91c

One of the things Trump likes about Russia is that it’s big. He doesn’t question it further. He just likes that Russia is big the way he likes gold.

Democracies can’t wait authoritarianism out. They have to defeat it.
Authoritarianism benefits when its policies collapse. One leader may fall - but that fall clears the path for the next, and democracy becomes less, not more, recoverable.

Time to rewire. Postmodern relativism isn’t a woke problem anymore - it’s an authoritarian ex-right one.

European leaders still treat Trump as an aberration - something to wait out until history returns to normal. That’s an illusion. By flattering Trump without a strategy of their own, they normalise a rising monarchist ideology coming to unseat them in Europe’s next elections.
