When you remember this and listen to Badenoch fawning over DOGE, watch Truss hanging out with Nazis and see Johnson whitewashing Trump, you have to be thankful that - for all his faults - it’s Starmer currently running things. The alternative would have been so much worse.

Starlink should be banned from European markets on national security grounds. Anything requiring Starlink should be shut out of the European market, and sanctions should be considered against all relevant actors. kyivindependent.com/us-threatens...

I’m under no illusion banning Twitter would be an easy thing - it’s politically fraught with danger - but surely it’s a much bigger risk to our democracies too allow this propaganda tool run by a fascist to influence our election and society. I really hope Europe acts soon and as one

The UK government needs to shut X down so long as the amplifier-in-chief is spreading wild disinformation. This situation has gone on way too long.

Brief but extremely close view of one of the barn owls this frosty morning. Came within a few metres. Can’t beat this kind of weather

The audacity of Vance scolding Europe for having annulled Romanian election results due to Russian interference, representing a president who violently physically attacked the US system of governance and refused to acknowledge his defeat, still claiming the elections was stolen, is simply disgusting

We've spent decades quite rightly lionising the sacrifices the British people made during WW2. So, are we prepared to face just a bit of the hardship they went through. A penny or two on tax for extra defence spending in the face of clear and present danger? Any politician saying no isn't serious.

If I was a foreign power wanting to cripple US power, I'd: 1. Purge intel agencies + expose agents 2. Mess w/Treasury 3. Politicize military 4. Turn off foreign aid 5. Shutter anti-corruption + election interference teams 6. Sow discord with allies Wait, I'm getting an update...

We are already at the point where people like Musk will not survive a change of Administration. They have every possible incentive to create a system that ensures there can’t be a change.

It would be good if, when reporting this sort of inflammatory rhetoric from opposition politicians, journalists also noted the reality of Labour's massive public spending increases. Can we please stop letting people get away with calling spending increases "austerity"? They are the polar opposite.
