My latest for @bylinetimes.bsky.social – how Wales is alternately ignored or weaponised depending on where we are in an election cycle. With Senedd elections near, guess who’s suddenly making Cymru a “priority”? Not its needs, of course, just its power & resources. bylinetimes.com/2025/05/21/w...

“Tories’ problem is they have nothing to offer” They’ve hollowed themselves out with egomania, prejudice and populist incompetence. Brexit, Johnson, (Truss) and Farage commit them to their ongoing pointlessness. They have nothing to offer and nothing new to say. www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...

The Israeli government is committing genocide—one of the greatest evils known to humankind—in Gaza. Executing unarmed non-combatants is evil. Not only are both these statements true, they’re synergistic—part of the same humanist philosophy. I condemn the Israeli government _and_ the DC assassin.

First Trump hit our steel and car sectors with tariffs, now he wants to hit our world leading British film industry. What will it take for the UK government to work with our allies in Europe and Canada on a joint response?

Even for the Telegraph having its usual hissy fit, this is an enchantingly stupid sentence, especially seeing as their economics editor has put her name to the piece. "If anything needs a reset, it’s the UK economy." 😂 What does she think the trade reset with the EU is about? ~AA

It's a strong point, but we have shown that we can work together to get the Tories out, maybe with Reform and the Tories competing in many seats, the step to getting Labour down to a minority/coalition govt through tactical voting is not such a huge leap.

Public pressure on the UK government is mounting. It's clear that Brits want the government to prioritise our relationship with the EU. 👉 Our own polling shows 43% of Brits think increasing trade with our main trading partners like the EU is the best way to respond to Trump's tariffs.

This is a huge issue. Because Labour can't drop the idea of doing a deal with the least trustworthy person on Earth, it gets in the way of much better and more pragmatic deals. Trump would LOVE to force us to choose, or to keep us hanging on, uncertain, rather than closer to the EU.

Steve Bannon exposed why 🇬🇧 tariffs - not Brexit Bonus! "You don't make anything anymore. You don't make anything we're trying to bring back. That's why 🇯🇵 and 🇰🇷 will be tough." Sure you guys make 🚗 but it is nothing in grand scheme of things. They're kind of bespoke Jaguars and Aston Martins."

By defying the Supreme Court’s order to return Abrego Garcia from El Salvador, Trump is laying the groundwork to do the same to U.S. citizens. Now is the time to speak out — before there is no one left to speak. We are on a path towards dictatorship.
