EU High Representative Kaja Kallas on Trump calling Zelensky a "dictator": "I thought he was confusing two people. Putin hasn’t had real elections in 25 years. Zelensky was elected in free and fair elections. And during war, many constitutions prevent elections." interfax.com.ua/news/general...

“Zelensky survived a dozen Russian assassination attempts including a special forces assault on his presidential complex.He stood up to Trump. I’m sure he’ll be deeply impressed to learn our Congressional Republicans live as terrified hostages of their own party leader.” ~ @michaeldweiss.bsky.social

Council By-Election yesterday. Reform UK came 4th. They’ve won only 11 seats from 197 by-elections since the General Election. They have just 70 out of 20k councillors across the UK. 80% of their councillors are defectors, the majority from the Conservatives.

Have written about JD Vance’s Munich speech. In what may prove to be the biggest week for European security since 1991, it’s time Europe listened to what Trump and his Vice President are telling us. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

Well, modern medicine was nice while it lasted. The basic anti-intellectualism and anti-science of the right is about to kill a lot of people.

VG from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social but as others have said the historical analogy is wrong. Chamberlain wasn't a Nazi fellow-traveller. AfD supporter and far-right propagandist Goodwin is much closer to Oswald Mosley.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Me watching Adam Curtis documentaries: At the time: well it’s a great story and probably there’s a kernel of truth in it but it goes way too far. Five years later: why did he play down everything that is happening in the world?

It's unanimous. A majority of voters in every constituency in England, Scotland and Wales think the government should prioritise trade with the EU over Trump's America or other countries. It's even the most popular view in Clacton. (Sorry Nigel 🙃)

The £45bn cost of Labour bailing out RBS is held to be a once-in-a-generation economic calamity that the nation barely survived. Brexit cost us just as much every five-and-a-half months.

Forgive me but I still just cannot claim to understand the complaint these farmers have. “I have a huge amount of valuable land worth millions & one day my kids might have to pay tax on that” 😱😱 Yes. Like the bloody rest of us. (Or rather at half the rate of the rest of us but yknow) #r4today

This gang of sex abusers preyed on young children in Walsall, and got away with it for years. What could possibly explain the failure by Nigel Farage, Elon Musk and the Tories to call for a public inquiry about it?
