If a woman had 13 kids by four different men, used ketamine and spent all her time running a shadow presidency, I’m not sure our society would celebrate her.

Highly insightful and, as always, elegantly written blog from @davidallengreen.bsky.social. (Piggybacking, I think this is consistent with/ complementary to my analysis of Trump as an 'anti-ruleist': chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2024/11/post...)

Trump’s new world chaos offers possibilities for post-Brexit Britain. New post on my Brexit & Beyond Blog. The UK's choice isn’t just between US & EU, it's about the new global divide, and it could finally change the stale politics of Brexit: chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2025/02/trum...

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

This is not just breaking a taboo on a day where the Bundestag was supposed to remember the Holocaust, it will backfire for the Conservatives as the pandering to the far right has backfired for the Tories in Britain. A huge victory for the AfD. A dark day for Germany. Why do people never learn.

I remain slightly baffled by the political wisdom of pinning your growth strategy on the single most complex and controversial option from which you're unlikely to get growth or popularity in this or the next Parliament. www.ft.com/content/a167...

This is the difference between Trump 1 and Trump 2. First time around, all his cronies were named stuff like Joey Macaroni and wanted to commit tax fraud and go on Dancing With The Stars. This time, they have names like John Hitlerfuhrer and have spent the last 15 years blogging about phrenology.

Five years on: stuck. New post on my Brexit & Beyond Blog on how the latest news (the 'wobble', PEM, AI, regulatory capacity, Trump etc.) shows there's still no post-Brexit strategy & perhaps none is possible - but UK is still not ready to admit it: chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2025/01/five...

We craft these episodes not to increase your exposure to Trump insanity, but to minimise it. With warmth, humour, and calm, we filter out the panto and focus on what matters. And there's nobody better than @brianklaas.bsky.social at this. Best analysis you'll hear this week, in my view.

UK Govt overturns Tory measure and bans emergency use of Cruiser SB, a neonicotinoid pesticide highly toxic to bees. Great news, also aligns the UK with the EU. Would Trump do the same in the US? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Just take a moment to imagine the reaction to Barack Obama pardoning 1,500 black people, involved in a riot, which led to five police officers dying, calling them "heroes" & "hostages".

“But of course that’s part of the point of all the boasting and big talk. Don’t fall for it. Don’t be cowed. Don’t be demoralized. Trump and Trumpism aren’t as strong as they look. In fact, it could well be all downhill from noon today for Trump and Trumpism.” @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social

This is heartening to see! The resistance is beginning. I know we are tired. I know we are fearful. But we will make ourselves heard and reclaim this country from the grip of MAGA fascism. I’ve seen the inside of barbed wire prison camps in America. We came back from that and shall overcome this.

So, Tories finally admit they left the EU with no plan “for growth”. They also had no plan for trade, science, the arts, business, jobs, training, education, travel, farming, fishing, borders, immigration, healthcare, regulations, food security… for ANYTHING… A catastrophe of prejudiced uselessness.

The £45bn cost of Labour bailing out RBS is held to be a once-in-a-generation economic calamity that the nation barely survived. Brexit cost us just as much every five-and-a-half months.

Way back when I was a journalist, the EU looked at regulation of the vitamin supplements industry. A huge and well funded PR and lobbying campaign sprang up. Later, in the Brexit years, I recognised many of the techniques, including astroturfing, and realised what had been happening before...
