The most successful electoral force in UK history is polling at 9% with people <50. And as long as they keep pretending this is the fault of the under-50s, who "don't want to work", have been brainwashed by "woke ideology" or don't believe in "Western civilization", there's little hope of recovery.

Glaciers provide stable melting water to a very large % of all farms in the entire world. When (not if) we lose this stable, slow, dependable glacier melt water, our food system will collapse.

I’m not sure the world has seen a genuine supervillain until 2025. Of course there’ve been countless monsters: hitler, Stalin, pol pot. But a real life figure who fits the Gotham/Metropolis model. Plutocrat bigwig who is actually deeply evil & wants to run the world for cartoonishly stupid reasons.

A must-read. Dictator Bidzina Ivanishvili deliberately crippled Georgia's defense so that later he could enslave the country with the "obey me, or there will be war with Russia" propaganda. To my great dismay, defense was never something that Georgians at large really cared about, 1/3

Labour under Attlee, with far greater economic challenges than today, had boldness, vision & a compelling story. Starmer’s Labour fails on all 3 counts, which amounts to laying out a welcome mat to Farage. On eve of publication of #AnotherEngland in paperback, I write for @prospectmagazine.co.uk👇

A Russian bullet would stop her. And this is honestly how life in Georgia feels now - you hope for basic seaside vacation or starting a family but the Russian proxy dictator has other plans for you. And to think he could be undermined greatly by sanctions, if they ever came...

That 23% drop in the number of English farms from 2005 to 2023 is worth unpacking a bit, because the data tell a completely different story to the ones the Lib Dems want you to believe. Farms are measured according to size of farmable land, with the smallest farms measured being less than 20ha 🧵1/6

💥 Well how about that. After years of Brexiteers saying we had to leave the EU to avoid being forced into a European army… … it turns out that Brits are fine with the idea. With the UK explicitly included. A plurality of Tory voters support it - and even a fair chunk of Reform. How times change…

Ursula von der Leyen calls it an "emergency" – and she's right. It's no use, as is current government policy, trying to act as a "bridge" between the US and Europe. That bridge does not lead anywhere that Europe wants to go. It leads only to darkness. It's time to pick a side. Choose Europe.

Good letters in The Times: one scorning Vance’s weapons-grade hypocrisy and wildly unreflective sanctimony, the other repeating the wish of so many of us, to ally with Europe and not the USA when the USA is run by tyrants.
