Well done Keir. In and out in one piece.

This is big. Far-right troll site Guido Fawkes has always claimed it isn't subject to UK libel law as it's officially offshore. Today it conceded that it defamed Dale Vince, making clear it it's subject to UK law. No more dodging scrutiny. Staines will have to play by the rules like the rest of us.

When I saw the disgusting "trump Gaza" video this morning, the bile rose to my throat. I won't share it. Instead, help me promote this counter narrative by Tala, from Gaza. "Gaza is not yours to take. Gaza is ours, and we are still here. This is our land." BRAVO to her strength and DEFIANCE. 🥹💪

Closing an inheritance tax loophole has had farmers protesting ever since. Everyone went mental when they clawed back winter fuel allowances. Where to get the money is the problem without pissing everyone off. If squeezing the rich was the answer it would have been done by now.

Conservative Home review of Badenoch speech: "It was so bland, formulaic, and unsurprising that it would have made Chat-GPT blush. Her commitment to never saying anything original, interesting, or newsworthy remains admirable." ~AA conservativehome.com/2025/02/25/b...

Critical vote at UN, with Russia/US potentially on one side, France/UK on other. Death knell to transatlantic partnership; definitive break. And, possibly, lead to US rejecting UN altogether (already owes huge arrears). I fear this moment, but UK and France must hold firm. No weasly abstentions.

If you are clear-eyed, looking at America, and worried about democracy, the lesson is that half-measures and incrementalism are not going to cut it.

Macron gave a surprisingly upbeat commentary on the Trump-Russia-Ukraine crisis in an 80 minute live video conversation with the French public tonight. He said the “uncertainty” generated by Trump could, in the end, be “good for Ukraine and good for Europe” but needed to be “structured” properly. 1/

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

Genuinely on the look out for sightings of Conservatives - MPs, present or past, commentators - who are as outspoken in their solidarity with Ukraine today as they were when doing so carried no potential penalty in getting on the wrong side of Maga.

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

If your argument is "sure, a terrible modern event has a parallel in the 1920s and 30s but don't worry we turned out just fine", might I suggest reading about the 1940s.
