What we’re seeing with the US is a systematic self-dismantling of a Western country.

I’m baffled. Why?

Yes, Trump is a Russian agent. He has to be. But why is everyone in his government going along with this?

Today's customs union vote is entirely symbolic, it's true. But what does it symbolise that no one is now arguing *for* Brexit?

When billionaires take control of communication platforms, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.

This is a danger to the free press.

The exact people now saying "Nigel Farage was young and foolish at school" (to excuse his racism, bullying and harassment of fellow pupils at Dulwich College) are the same people who said "Shamima Begum was old enough to know what she was doing".

President Trump, "In my opinion many European countries will not be viable countries any longer"

"If you take a look at London, you have a Mayor named Khan, he's a horrible mayor. An incompetent mayor. But he's a horrible vicious disgusting mayor"

@duncanhames.bsky.social of Transparency International has called for an investigation into this "cash for access operation"

As @suehawley.bsky.social says “It should not have to take undercover reporting to lift the lid on murky secretive access.”

1) What the actual fuck how did this just get normalised in the space of three years…. Oh yeah everyone just hanging out on Twitter like boiling frogs

2) not broadcast, as they aren’t quite ready to push Ofcom on this. This is the “good stuff” for unregulated YouTube.

Lobbyist / ex Tory MP Ben Howlett has been done by an undercover sting. As ever, the most revealing thing is how very very cheap it is buy access in British media/politics — and especially how Howlett controls one of the biggest UK pol Twitter accounts!

Just had breakfast at the Regency Cafe in Pimlico which is the most old-school greasy spoon I've been to in DECADES. Formica tables. One type of coffee. Framed autograph by Gordon Banks on the wall. Loved it. All it was missing was a table of Mods in the corner who'd been up on speed all night.

The budget didn't bother the powerful.

No windfall tax on banks. Govt subsidy of £23bn+ continues.

No windfall tax on energy companies, £125bn profit since 2020.

Corporate profiteering and subsidies continue. No curbs on corporate welfare.

85,500 have wealth of £2.8 trillion, hardly touched.
The government’s budget is simply managing decline
The budget does little to improve living standards or facilitate sustained economic growth

What we're seeing is exactly what we saw in the late 1940s, the late 1960s and the mid- to late 1970s: a concerted and hysterical campaign to delegitimise a Labour government, and indeed the very idea of Labour governments at all.

Yep - the government is consistently failing to make the case as to why it is investing more in defence and how the changing geopolitical system plus that whole war going on means it is increasingly needed
Utterly surreal that a key part of the pre Budget narrative from the government hasn’t been ‘Russian planes keep buzzing the Essex coast, US support for NATO is looking shaky, and thanks to the Tories our army fits in Old Trafford - that’s why we need to raise taxes’.

Approximately 20% of the country are completely unhinged and would support any bonkers stuff - Farage, Boris, Brexit, warships patrolling the channel to stop dinghies, Liz Truss, and so on. The only question is why is Starmer courting these people? Most of them hate the people from the next village

There’s one person squarely to blame for Trump’s corruption, authoritarianism & assault on democracy: John Roberts. He’s enabled so much of Trump’s lawlessness while somehow escaping accountability for it

X is in clear + systemic breach of its legal duties in the UK to remove unlawful content from its platform.

Proof: when X users abuse + harass others with the racial slur "paki", X reporting system defends the racist abuse in more than 90% of cases reported.
