Fresh off popping a gesture that looked exactly like a Seig Heil, Bannon now treats us to an indictment of "progressive Jewish billionaires." "The biggest single enemy" to Israel & the Jewish people, he claims, are not jihadists but rather "progressive Jewish billionaires" who are anti-MAGA.

A lawyer at advertising conglomerate Interpublic Group fielded a phone call in December from a lawyer at X. The message was clear, according to several people with knowledge of the conversation: Get your clients to spend more on Elon Musk’s social-media platform, or else.

Sorry for making you look at him but yet again, as with Peterson, Musk, Montgomerie and so many others, the turn to the hard/far right begins with obsessive transphobia. It might be the primary driver of rightwing radicalisation over the last decade. They always bring it up.

These are dark times, but there are opportunities to make a better world out of them. A closer Europe, which brings Ukraine into the EU and into a new defence alliance. Russia, worn down by a grinding war and less of a threat. Independence from US influence. We could make a better world out of this.

Fairly sick of the sight of simpering British politicians trotting over to America to talk down our country in front of a bunch of braying MAGA fascists If you don't like this Britain, why not go and live in your beloved Trump’s America. (AM I doing this right)

This will become a theme in European politics as well. In fact the French lower house of parliament just yesterday passed a 2% wealth tax on the super rich. It has no chance of getting implemented because the senate will kill it, but it sets the stage for battles to come.

I keep saying and it keeps being true: Trump folds when people stand up to him. He never respects weakness, and you have to prove you’re not weak.
