I for one am amazed that allowing the world's stupidest man to bellow like an idiot while swinging a sledgehammer into every surface encountered has not fixed all of our problems but has instead made all problems worse and caused new ones. It makes no sense; he had the longest tie, the goldest hair.

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...

We have a very serious problem with centrists simply giving up on reality. This isn't new, it's a feature not a bug, but Brexit & Corbyn has blown some important cerebral circuitry & the retreat into comforting wish fulfilment that redefines the world in imagined not actual terms is...worrying

We’ve officially entered the Twilight Zone: Sir Bean—a former Bank of England bigwig and monetary policy grandee—is now the one defending the public from cuts… being mooted by a Labour chancellor. Next up, Jacob Rees-Mogg leads a general strike.

If you cut foreign aid, you are hurting the vulnerable. If you cut or freeze PIP & other disability benefits, you are hurting the vulnerable. The recipients can’t push back, & have little power to resist. If you increase wealth taxes, you’re not going to hurt anyone. But the rich, push back

Like the Laffer Curve, the idea that adding VAT to private school fees would price out the people who want to pay to make sure their kids don’t get educated with povvos turns out to be bullshit. In a sensible world this news would lead to absolutely rinsing the top 0.1% of earners for 75% income tax

For young Europeans, the Trump situation can feel hopeless. The feeling of impotence on this continent is strong. But they can correct the mistakes of their parents by embracing European sovereignty. It's not too late. My thoughts on what is needed:

#NATO's Article 5 was only invoked once, by 🇺🇸 asking for defence after 9/11 As a result, 1,105 European and Canadian soldiers died in the 20-year Afghanistan war - 1/3 of all coalition casualties I don't recall the Europeans demanding America surrender its mineral wealth in exchange for their help

I would simply look at what this Labour government is actually doing (brutalising migrants, handing out freebies to international corporations, falling in love with every Lyle Lanley AI huckster, ripping up regulations, destroying the environment etc etc) and assume that this is what he wants.
