She, Timothy Snyder & Jason Stanley—experts on fascism & authoritarianism—are fleeing to Canada.

Just to be clear, this is exactly what the Kremlin wants prominent British political figures to be saying. Asking if this means we at war with a nuclear power is exactly the talking point the Kremlin wants in western countries.

Wow. Imagine the shock for the Daily Mail when it finds out Tory plans were for fines of £5k - later reduced to £3k - for each missed heat pump sale. What Ed Miliband has done is to reduce that to £500. As @torstenbell.bsky.social says today Headline should read “Miliband slashes Tory boiler tax”
