Our foreign secretary has confirmed that America did indeed forget to hit the OFF button after April Fool’s day. Unfortunately, it may be permanently stuck on now much like daylight savings time and QR code menus. We must keep our Flippers Up and fight on.

It is absolutely right that we do not need Greenland (or Canada) for natsec reasons because they are already close NATO allies. So the only rationale to turn the US into an aggressor in our own hemisphere is if you don’t plan on NATO being a US alliance in the future.

The basic risk is this: Iran has sophisticated SIGINT capabilities. If any single member of the 20-person group chat had allowed their handset to be compromised by spyware then it’s a direct line from Iran->Houthis. This isn’t some kind of remote possibility. It’s a real, live risk that was ignored.
Hegseth was showboating when he shared the timeline:
"Once the strikes had been agreed, there was no reason for the Secretary of Defense to share operational details with the group. None of them were responsible for carrying out the mission."

The Signal and the Nause
Even if you accept the argument that Signal is secure, Hegseth had no business sharing operational plans with that group

Chancellor must ‘supercharge EU reset’ to escape economic black holes

Can’t get my head around prioritising cutting public services, welfare and jobs (ie punishing people) over investing and removing unnecessary barriers to trade with Europe. All to protect Tory ideology and defy Tory bullshit scaremongering about spending when it was the Tories who wrecked the place.

NEW: Elon Musk’s X has suspended accounts of Turkish opposition groups, suppressing footage of anti-government protests.

So, best we share all the footage we can here!

This was last night’s massive demo against Erdogan’s government, which follows the arrest of his rival Ekrem İmamoğlu.

Worst take ever. More accurate headline would e “Putin fools Trump by pretending to agree to a ceasefire he has no intention of honoring, whilst offering terms designed to eviscerate Ukraine.”

Reform giving us some much needed light relief.
5 nasty little grifters, cobbled together with prejudice and plastic patriotism, are at each other’s throats because Lowe’s ego (boosted by Musk on X) has clashed with Farage’s.
If you think these numbnuts could run the country, you’re off your head.

Why is Musk pushing for elections and “regime change” in Ukraine… but not Russia?

Musk & Trump have no interest in democracy, America’s historical guarantees, rule of law, sovereignty or peace.

They’re siding with a murderous dictator to try and break Ukraine - and Europe.

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933.

I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.
