Absolutely pathetic, craven behaviour. Giving in to bullies only makes them come back for more. Also shown zero solidarity with our allies in Europe and Canada. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

As pleasing as the result is, the fact that the election of a Supreme Court judge in Wisconsin is something people here need to actually care about shows how screwed the world is.

Are all government accounts on X just troll accounts now? This is from the official House Foreign Affairs Committee—the same committee responsible for foreign aid, global HIV/AIDS policy, security assistance, and national security. This is how they choose to represent themselves.

This is a good piece and good on Sian for putting herself through that. Unfortunately though you don't need to go to a Reform rally to see angry white men raging against migrants.

Labour's tough new approach to immigration might be embarassing, but at least it's immoral and stupid as well.

The only way to stop people being forced into the hands of people smugglers is to introduce safe routes for people to seek safety in the UK. Starmer knows this - but instead of making this lifesaving change, he's choosing to dance to Nigel Farage's tune. Shameful. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

In a tight and closely contested field, I think Miller has to be the worst person connected with the Trump regime. He is a literal Nazi, pure evil.

We have had nearly two decades of panic about Free Speech on Campus and not a single case, not even the ones they made up, were as bad as what's happening now

Not being pedant guy hopefully; SP is correct that what Trump voters got was of no value based on any objective metric of value. The bitter pill for me is this inescapable proof that, for millions of Americans, bigotry and white supremacy is a coin whose value surpasses literally everything else.

Last-minute spreadsheet wars between the Treasury and the OBR are ludicrous way to run a country, a ludicrous way to run an economy, a ludicrous way to fund public services and a ludicrous way to run the welfare system www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Quite amazing that Ticketmaster's website allows you to filter by genre and date but not location. No, I'm not going to scroll through 1,744 events just to find something I might like that's convenient for me.

Yeah, there's a difference between necessary tact and diplomacy in international relations, and just cosying up to fascists.

alright here's a Take: checks and balances (and federalism) were supposed to protect against tyranny. But instead they just prevented a "tyranny of the majority" from doing universal health care and gun control, and it turns out they do basically nothing to stop an autocrat

If Labour's frontbench went and got therapy rather than acting out because the Left was mean to them during the Corbyn years, they, and the country, would be much better off.

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks… “The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government. 🧵
