Putin says Trump must go further before he’ll even agree to meet. Putin is entirely in the driving seat. The US has alienated its own allies, given Russia nearly all of what it wanted, bought Putin’s warped view of reality, and can’t even guarantee a meeting. The art of the deal, indeed.

This guy needs to fuck right off the face of the planet as soon as possible. He’s a real and present danger to humanity. He’s a greedy ignorant prick. People who voted for that I hope your shits are perpetual pine cones.

If I were to point out a ‘dictator’ it would be the guy who has rigged elections by either imprisoning, exiling or killing his opponents. And the guy who attacked a sovereign neighbour, annexed its land, murdered its people and levelled its cities. I defo wouldn’t accuse the guy trying to stop him.

Wonder if the Americans would be less trusting of the Russians if, like the British, they’d been subject to two WMD attacks, including a ‘dirty’ nuclear attack on central London

Scrap austerity – tax the super-rich instead. Britain can’t rebuild with more cuts – a wealth tax on the richest is the fair alternative to funding public services and growth.

I know everything feels grim right now but let's be realistic. These people are idiots. They're going to tank their economy. They're going to fuck-up every deal they sign. They're going to leave America looking shattered and deranged. And all those who supported them will look as idiotic as they are

Really strong challenge by @fleetstreetfox on Musk potentially funding Reform via a company - and a very elegant solution to meet it. "If a company wants to donate money to a political party it should be in proportion to the tax that it pays in this country." ~AA

Anger at the failure of neoliberalism to deliver a decent standard of living for working class families has led many to seek simplistic solutions from Brexit to Trump. How long before people recognise the real problem is the capitalist system itself? Some thoughts: www.facebook.com/share/p/19bR...

Guys, there are more than 2 trillion recognised galaxies in the known Universe. They contain quintillions of stars. The number of planets out there is not possible to estimate. You have to use different methods to write it down. Yet, we have Trump & Musk both on our planet! Absolutely appalling

In April, I was ‘disappeared’ from air at LBC. It was a disorienting, distressing & isolating experience. Unknown to me, 1 listener, a respected scientist, began an unprecedented petition to express his concern. 40,000 of you signed it. I’d never met that listener - until... @davidpnoble.bsky.social
