It’s really simple…
- Cap all political donations
- Ban foreign donations
- Strict conflict‑of‑interest & anti‑corruption laws with penalties
- No titles, honours or peerages for donors
- No govt contracts for donors
- Publish every donation/lobby meeting
…that’ll do it.

The first thing Yaxley-Lennon did on leaving court was to thank Elon Musk for funding his legal costs.
That's Elon Musk who has repeatedly called for civil war in the UK.
As of typing this - all of the major politicians and platforms maintain a presence on X and it is time for them all to leave.

Celebrating 25 years of the Human Rights Act with the brilliant @libertyhq.bsky.social at the House of Lords hosted by Lord Alton.
The ECHR is much more than a treaty. It’s a quiet promise - a shield against abuse of power, a lifeline for the vulnerable, a declaration of who we are as a nation.

There is no need for a moral panic about the UK's welfare system.
Far from perfect but recent discourse is nuts
Spending is controlled, not spiralling
Worklessness is near record lows

The best way to defeat Reform is for millions of people to hear a version of this message:
"Farage's Brexit made you poorer. Don't let him do it again"

Oh Nigel 🙄
Normally I’m an advocate for heavily reframing arguments to take them away from Reform’s insidiously poisonous propaganda traps, but here I’m just all “huh, wtf??”
Also is “God help us” a knock-off attempt at a “Thank you for your attention to this matter” trademark sign-off? Sad.

I mean, this is really desperate shit, isn’t it? I am a great deal more woke-sceptic than pretty much all of Bluesky but I honestly can’t be bothered to care about the National Trust putting vegan tampons in the men’s toilets and neither should you

Anti abortion campaign groups have reached a new low - whether you are supportive or not of legal abortion access this kind of behaviour has no place in democracy.

Robert Redford playing a gentle incarnation of death, coming for a frightened old woman in The Twilight Zone episode "Nothing in the Dark" (1962). An extraordinary performance then, terribly bittersweet today
