X-odus under way. So much wrong in this world, I don't know where to start. Scatter brained antifa, anti brexiturd, anti genocide, anti climate change denial, you know the drill, fire hose of BS out there. Bit of science, economics, and fun. #FBPE

Only have to look at the contrast between US & EU negs. Trump dumps on the UK, UK ends up in a worst position than under Biden. It's called a "triumph". UK *chooses* to leave EU gets a *tariff free* deal which still hurts as UK needs SM/CU, but refuses it. It's not our fault but EU "punishing" us

Wake up and read the polls since Starmer's big turn against immigrants: he is down and Farage is up. Shockingly, accepting the strongest frame of your enemy strengthens them instead of weakening them 🙄

Justifiable rage at Trump’s evil betrayal of Ukraine and Europe, in favour of Putin, giving him all he wants, for nothing in return. But an existential price for Ukraine and Europe to pay.

"I think Britain was a healthier society when it was able to dominate and exploit its colonies" is a hell of a take.

I would give a sworn witness statement to this effect. There is a very real basis to believe - and I am a KC with an unblemished record - to believe that something very bad, delegitimising, happened in the Supreme Court.

Even the officials who originally worked on the EA (who weren't asked their views by the Court) have been expressing their surprise, because they assumed their intent was clear from the legislation (and, indeed, it really was until now):

What makes it even more fun watching the Conservatives handle the issue is that they ruled out changing food standards in a US deal but now claim that the UK can't align with the EU because that would weaken the chances of a US trade deal. Consistency... bsky.app/profile/matt...

We will shortly make an announcement about renewing our organisational commitment to working for the trans community. We have already started hiring. We know, and they know, that trans people are right at the cutting edge of fascism. What we can do we will do.

Yesterday I was emailed by a barrister: "In my network I have on average one trans suicide per month. Its devastating and a genoicde of a whole group of people." Those in the trans community know this is true. Wes Streeting's vigorous attempts to suppress this reality is unforgiveable.

Honestly… hoping Trump’s affection for our royal family is a credible route out of tariffs is just embarrassingly naïve. And what would a ‘carve out’ mean for our attempts to improve our relationship with the EU? We need to grow up. Develop a trade policy properly. This is hopeless nonsense.

"You make deals with lawless actors at your own peril" is a very good point which deserves wide amplification... bsky.app/profile/mwge...

I talked about this with @ischagerrits.bsky.social last month. He wrote this great article about the increasing rate of CO₂ increase (in Dutch): www.rtl.nl/nieuws/binne...
