Been a good day today. From morning to evening, European leaders standing up, all around the world, one after another, and speaking clearly against the Trump/Putin agenda.

Unbelievable, from the man who did more than anyone else to give Douglas Murray's explicit white ethnonationalism a platform and a bridge to the UK mainstream. archive.ph/LMDiX

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.

There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend. I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.

Trump calls Zelensky “a dictator without elections” having lauded Putin, a man who hasn’t had a free or fair election in years and who has prevented elections in Ukraine because he invaded.

There are no basic standards in the modern Tory party. Not of respectability, or intellectual consistency, or mortality. So it will now say anything - anything at all - if it echoes what that madman in the White House is doing.

Trump is madness. You can see quite clearly that his mind is in chaos and that this chaos is being projected onto the world. He is an animal in a cage, prone to sudden bouts of violence inews.co.uk/opinion/star...

Goodwin spreading misinformation over on the other place again. Same old debunked rubbish. Foreign born & British nationals are presented here as two different groups. Obviously they are not. I am a foreign born British national. So is Boris Johnson. But it makes a nice dog whistle.

I can be as critical as anyone of the government's occasionally muddled message on growth but Look! At! This! Chart!! Anything they've done pales next to this GIGANTIC UNFORCED ERROR COMMITTED IN 2016! (fagpacket maths follows) on.ft.com/4hzyvbJ

This counts as a damning review for Goodwins new book. I’ve no idea if it covers his time at Nottingham but he was refused support for promotion to prof because he wasn’t doing what profs were meant to do. It had nothing to do with his politics & all to do with his selfishness.

It's been quite something to watch supposedly 'patriotic' British newspapers actively cheerleading on a foreign administration that is openly working against our interests.

Keir Starmer: "I got a letter this week from a Tory voter in a Labour seat. I hope they don't mind me saying who it was, it was Liz Truss. "She was complaining that saying she crashed the economy was damaging her reputation. It was crashing the economy that damaged her reputation."

Some on the British right are all jostling to get retweeted by Elon Musk - to the point where nothing else matters. It's as dignified as a naked mud slide at a vodka promotion... but then Mackenzie didn't have much in the first place

This is an astonishingly ill-informed and amoral assessment for the political editor of the BBC to have reached, about someone spreading extremist conspiracy theories and using them to whip up hatred against elected politicians. I'd say I'm surprised, but sadly I'm not.

I'm retired. I voted Ukip in 2014, Conservative in 2015, did not vote in 2017, Tory again in 2019. In 2024 I voted Reform. I think immigration is too high, the last Conservative government was the worst ever, and London is a foreign land. Why is today moving me back towards the Tories?

I've just shut up the East Wing, reduced Simmonds to a 5 day week, and sacked Rogers the chauffeur for much the same reason. Seems I'll have to drive the children back to school in the Bentley myself this Easter term.

When the then-Ukip leader Gerard Batten gave a party role to Tommy Robinson, Nigel Farage was furious and tried to get to get Batten deposed. Will thus be interesting to see Farage’s response now Elon Musk has come out as a Robinson fanboy. amp.theguardian.com/politics/201...
