It doesn't seem great that we have an MP - albeit one estranged from Reform - who is now promoting explicit Powellite racism and hanging out with white nationalist accounts on X.

The original meaning of Brexit was "exit from EU membership". But since 2015, Brexiters have effectively redefined it to mean "exit from the European Court of Justice's influence" - a more impactful aim. I think we've been slow to catch on to that change.

The British government had one credible option on Gibraltar and took it. The only people this deal upsets is people in Britain who probably never plan to visit the territory lukemcgee.substack.com/p/some-quick...

She's right. But the problem is she is not serious, and she is not on the centre-right. Indeed, she is so unserious that 'where on the political spectrum is Kemi Badenoch?' is actually a very difficult question to answer, it's like having to adjudicate 'how bacon is a table?'

"At some point we are going to need, collectively, to stop encouraging politicians to lie to us. And we are going to have to get lucky, finding a leader able simultaneously to tell the truth and get themselves re-elected." (Don't hold your breath).

Bill Clinton is a brave guy in America right now. At a naturalisation ceremony for 38 new citizens he defended immigration as America’s greatest strength. “I don't think we need fewer immigrants. I think we need more." How many would say that?

A shocking speech to deliver to troops. “President Donald Trump called protesters in Los Angeles“animals” and “a foreign enemy” in a speech at Fort Bragg on Tuesday… ostensibly supposed to be used to recognize the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army” apnews.com/article/dona...

If you think this looks like a mess: it isn‘t. It‘s a treasure trove of information. There is no history writing without archives, and there are no archives without people who appreciate and protect them. History, much like democracy, begins locally. Cherish it.

There are a good number of X accounts celebrating, encouraging and inciting violence in Nothern Ireland. The platform, the regulators & the government are too casual about the weak response to the incitement of violence in every flashpoint situation

They don't want to admit that they didn't understand why what they were doing would be so unpopular. And that they still don't understand. Which isn't just about the difficulty of taking money away, but also how little thought was given to the mechanism or messaging.

Really interesting study. The Reform vote is fuelled by people who aren’t satisfied with their lives. Labour is ahead on people who are satisfied.
