Le Monde, "French MPs vote through the left's wealth tax on the ultra-rich" Your reminder that a 2% wealth tax on those with £10 million, affecting 0.04% of the UK population, would raise £24 billion a year You have to wonder why Labour chose not to do this..

Former MI6 chief Sir Alex Younger to ITV: “Putin would’ve been absolutely delighted by our decision (to leave the EU) and so would Xi.” “Particularly since I've left office and I've travelled around Europe, I'm profoundly depressed. Just nobody mentions the UK. We've made ourselves irrelevant.”

If this were Just Stop Oil, there'd have been dozens of arrests, furious denunciations in the billionaire press and, perhaps, long jail sentences. Farmers have a right to protest, and the police respect it. Other people, it seems, not so much. The real #TwoTierPolicing www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

"Days before Donald Trump’s inauguration... an article appeared in the US magazine The Atlantic: ‘How Hitler Dismantled a Democracy in 53 Days’. Trump’s name doesn’t appear at all in the piece by Timothy Ryback, a historian and an authority on 1930s Germany. But joining the dots is not difficult."

You’d be forgiven for thinking the UK only had three significant political parties, led by Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage Under the radar, the Lib Dems could decide the next election Labour and the Tories are obsessed with Reform - & that gives Ed Davey space to make a different case

2025 is a year where we need to stop amplifying those whose brutality and bigotry is also their living - as Eve Kosofsky Sedwick wrote - we spend too much time identify poison and not enough time seeking nourishment - our reaction to those who hate for profit rewards them

The UK Govt is seceding entire regions of the UK to private investors such as Blackrock, Blackstone, DP World, PEEL Group and Deloitte in the form of 74 Special Economic Zones (SEZs) and 12 Freeports, and it’s happening fast. The zone rids itself of big govt by adopting localized freedoms. Thread

The UK Media can have constant coverage for weeks of a 'farmers' protest with less than 10,000 people, and about 20 farmers. But it ignores protests of hundreds of thousands or millions for Palestine or against Brexit. They don't care about the truth.

A word on the Allison Pearson free speech row, and what she describes as a ‘Kafkaesque’ threat to it. We asked her on @thenewsagents.bsky.social to discuss. She said: ‘No. And if you get any aspect of the story wrong my lawyers will be watching.’ Gotta love a free speech warrior 🤷🏻‍♂️
