It's quite a feat for a government to dig so many holes for itself in such a short time. It's almost like watching a darkly comical satire play out in real time. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

The language used here is straight out of the proto nationalist playbook. All because they have neither the wit nor the political ambition to address the systemic problems that afflict the country. Disgraceful. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

How much mental contortion was required to conjure this absurd rationale? This is what happens when you elect 'pragmatists' - not responsive government, but knee jerk governing. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Pandering to Reform voters is the strategy of the weak and vacuous. So predictable. You might as well just open the door and wave Farage in. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Just to say, if like me your feed is alot of US politics to the exclusion of UK/Ireland accounts, then reposting content you like - even if it's just the picture of a beach - rather than just liking it, really works. My feed has improved (along with some judicious muting) immeasurably.

Dogged insistence on a 'form' of fiscal rules that does not tax the super rich will increase inequality. No surprise there; it's what they are designed to do. Unless this thinking changes, the future will be ever more bleak.

Cancel the ill advised state visit. Appeasement was callow at best in the 1930s, but unforgivable now...
