There’s going to be a lot of hat-eating tonight. Critics will find a way to do the PM down, of course. Say he gave too much or too little. Was too fawning or not enough. They'd have done it better. Nothing will come of it. But in their black shrivelled heart they'll know Starmer played a blinder.

NEW: Just 6% of Gen Z say they actually want a dictator – not over half, as has been recently claimed. Our study finds only a very small minority of 13-27-yr-olds really feel this way, when their views and interpretations are tested with different questioning approaches 🧵⬇️

I imagine Suella Braverman who says the point is to defend Judeao-Christian heritage has not even noticed she is saying 99% of British Jews can't be English, including the third and fourth generation who have identified as English since they were in primary school

This is the logical conclusion to her deranged, racist politics and the open sewer of our current discourse. A race now, I guess, for the first brown Tory to deport themselves to a country they don't know.

I'm often critical of the British lobby but when Cummings tried this stunt against left wing outlets the whole lobby boycotted until they backed down. The US press are pathetic.

“You’re terminated because…?” Fired federal employees are telling their stories—no deep state, just career public servants tossed aside. DOGE’s mass firings aren’t about efficiency—they’re gutting expertise, wrecking lives, and calling it “reform.”

Zelensky is perhaps the defining figure of our age. Brave, ingenious, pragmatic and defined by his convictions. They hate him because he kills fascists.

Studying history made me understand humankind’s capacity for evil, but I was less prepared for our capacity for stupidity. Ultimately, the fascists surprise me less than the people applauding them because they think they’re the good guys or not noticing them because they live up their own arses.

i know we all need to just internalise this and move on but i really can't get past the fact that all high-level geopolitics is now "thinking up ways to trick the world's most infantile man into believing that your agenda will make him look like the birthday boy"

Trump is on the brink of betraying Ukraine and the UK. Britain must lead in Europe by increasing defence spending immediately and all political parties should get round the table to make that happen. I fear what happens if we don't take this step.

Extraordinary story the Wall Street Journal. X is threatening advertisers that if they don’t spend more, Elon Musk will use his influence in government to block company mergers. That’s extortion.
