Major was reaping what he and most thought was a peace dividend after the end of the Cold War. We are now vulnerable because a fascist that Tim Montgomerie supports is usurping democracy in the US and giving succour to Russian aggression in Ukraine.

Musk’s supporters believe that, through tech wizardry and sheer willpower, he’s slashing the federal deficit in a way that has eluded politicians for years. But this narrative has a glaring flaw: The Economist’s review of official data shows that his efforts have scarcely made a dent in spending.

🚨NEW RESEARCH🚨 Closer ties with the EU could deliver growth of up to 2.2%. Clawing back up to half of the damage caused by Brexit. Delivering double the impact of a UK-US trade deal, according to the govt's own analysis. And all within Starmer's red lines. www.thetimes.com/article/8423...

I note that Keir Starmer has come out against the Trump Netanyahu plan to ethnically cleanse Gaza, while Farage has backed it and Badenoch is silent. As the grandson of a survivor of the Armenian genocide, this matters. Don’t believe the lie that all politicians are the same

"The first thing to understand about Brexit is that it is defined by lying. It was itself a lie, at its base, as a concept. It was sold through lies. It was delivered through lies. And it has now served to place the notion of lies right in the heart of our politics"
