Heads up: just spotted this account that looks at first glance as if it might be a legit official @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app account, but it's not - it's a scammer posting phishing links. I've reported it; do be careful of this kind of post in your mentions.

By "free speech," the Americans mean creating a media environment in your country dominated by American digital fascism preparatory to right-wing regime change. Vance essentially said as much in Munich. Give in now, forget about sovereignty later.

It would be unforgivable if the Government goes ahead with cutting taxes for US tech barons to appease Musk and Trump, all while slashing support for disabled people and front-line public services to the bone.

I’m kinda sad that my Lower Silesian posts are low traction here on bluesky, so my new thread is all about making faces.

Last time I checked the EU never tried to overthrow a UK Govt. Where are the sovereignists now? Their silence is deafening

Today is an object lesson in the radicalisation of the British right-wing press. Britain is being disparaged and insulted by a foreign far-right conspiracy theorist. But the Mail, the Express, the Telegraph and even the Times choose focus their criticisism on the British prime minister instead.

Pitiful. Doddering herbivores in the age of the velociraptor.

If, like me, you’re worried about the role of money in British politics and the threat of foreign influence, do take Democracy for Sale’s survey on this

Only take a few minutes and really useful to have data to back up public concern about this. Thanks!

The most depressing part of all this is it’s pretty clear that donors (and lobbyists) buying access is a driver of populism

So rather than cleaning up politics - and drains some of the populist drive - Labour briefing it’ll leave it as it is to ‘defeat Reform’s arguments’

logic of the mad house

This mess is *entirely* of Labour’s own making

In opposition they promised to end sleaze and tighten money in politics.

They could have laid out plans for this as soon as they got into office

Instead they prevaricated. And this is the outcome. So depressing

However they failed and made the world more dangerous. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
