“It is beyond surreal that someone writes in a national newspaper that Liz Truss was a genius and Keir Starmer should walk the plank.”
@mrjamesob.bsky.social believes that Brexiteers are ‘still not ready to admit their mistake’ and so their response is to ‘overthrow the Government'.

Musk is now questioning the prison sentence of the Far Right’s Yaxley-Lennon-Tommy-Robinson.
What he chooses to give attention to is always revealing. I think the UK is going to see a lot more of his interference over the next four years.

Can never understand the logic of "slippery slope" arguments when we have a system where the House of Commons decides nearly everything. It's only a slippery slope if in the future the Commons changes its mind on something- which guess what, it can do at any time.

I notice there is a scramble to invent a new unprovably terrifying Russian offensive threat every time yet another of their capabilities like ground forces, airframes, air defence or special forces proves to be a corruption ridden, talent starved, obsolete paper tiger.

Just Elon Musk vapidly retweeting Netanyahu claiming that the International Criminal Court decision against him personally was an "antisemitic decision". Bizarre.
America is going to a very dark place - and America and Europe are drifting apart on many issues.

I never know how helpful 'Imagine ifs' are - although I am partial to reminding people of the media meltdowns when Diane Abbott had a mojito on a train - but seriously, imagine a major Labour politician publicly advertising this level of pant-wetting ignorance. He is shadow *Justice Secretary* ffs.
The ICC has issued an arrest warrant for Putin. Khomeini died in 1989. Robert Jenrick wanted to be Tory leader, but doesn't appear very well informed about current affairs.

1000 days of illegal Russian aggression in Ukraine. Russia has attacked Kyiv alone with more than 2,500 missiles and drones. Half of the attacks took place this year.
If Kyiv residents spent every hour of every alert in a shelter, they would have spent more than two months in bunkers.

Why many free speech absolutism is nearly always intellectually dishonest and one-sided, in one minute.
I note, for example, that many of those most angry about Alison Pearson’s experience were exactly those calling for police action against things they didn’t like being said on the Gaza protests.
