Ok everyone, please share as mush as possible! My much loved bike was stolen from a garage in Woolton Hill, near Newbury. Distinctive White @marinbikes Mount Vision (2008) with purple @Hopetech brakes & discs, gold hubs, 26” wheels. It’s “old” but I’m so upset it’s been taken! Thanks for sharing!👍kq

State capture is not enough. Now the Trump administration turns on the judiciary, universities and the media. Hard to see how there will be ever an election again in the US.

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.

So much is at stake when Germany goes to the polls tomorrow. My take on Friedrich Merz and a huge mistake he made during the campaign.
While Germany can't be seen as that borderline-boring bastion of stability anymore, the centre might get its act together after all, ironically thanks to JD Vance. 👇
The far right rising
Ahead of a historic German election, the AfD is courting the global right – and threatening to upend European politics.

I am almost speechless. Western democracies are being undermined from within.

Liberals are losing the information war on a catastrophic scale.

Please listen & share.

Episode 5 is out now!

The crescendo is building magnificently.

This epsiode ends with a very tantalising recording of the former UK Foreign Secretary (aka Boris Johnson) "answering" a question posed by a Parliamentary select committee on Russian "interference"...

Hi all,
This is my first Bluesky post.

I am trying to leave Twitter and am currently just slowly feeling my way here.

Please bear with me - "normal service" will be resumed at some stage

The "look and feel" (not the content) on this platform is mirroring my Twitter experience so far
