Three points in @johngibbons.bsky.social's boot here. Back in town delighted.

Brilliant but devastating editorial in the Financial Times. “In the past 10 days, he [Trump] has all but incinerated 80 years of postwar American leadership. If you are not at the table, you are on the menu. America has turned.”

He literally pallys with and agrees with racists and fascists. He is the darkening shadow.

I think that we would probably be in a much better position now if we had instead committed all of energy explaining to the public how desperately fucked Britain is, in all manner of ways, rather than what we did do, which was to tell them it’s basically fine and just needs some tweaks.

How about instead of profiling the “personalities” saying horrible things at far right conferences, we profile the people who paid to put on those conferences. Cmon the billionaires pushing this poison have names & faces.

Keep thinking about comparative seasons to this one if Liverpool do the decent thing from here. The first I keep coming to is 83/84. @tonyevans92a.bsky.social literally wrote the book. Here: www.penguin.co.uk/books/195484...

I also think for a lot of the "centre left" have nowhere else to go in terms of jobs with equal pay and prominence, while Tories always tend to have other employment options.

not pure, platonic idiocy, though. They believe this shit because they’re ideologically disposed to trusting rich people, and managerial class dorks love a ‘one weird trick’ approach that shimmies them out of either using their brains or ever taking on capital. Also they personally want to be rich.

The Starmer aide/AI stuff feels a bit canary/coalmine because this isn't letting electoral factors triumph over good governance or sinply doing something I don't like - things every government does - this is falling for a scam. There are people in Nunber 10 who are just idiots.

Let's be clear: the idea that breakfast clubs would adequately mitigate the impact of the two-child limit is absolute bollocks. The average household hit by the two-child limit loses out on roughly £3,800 a year. They're not currently spending that on coco pops.

I would ask you to pause here and ask yourself: what exact methods did “the centre left” use to “fight back”? Are those methods available to Sensible Tories. Can they, say, rely on the national press to devote five years to stoking deranged hate for the Tory right? I would say: no.

It's fairly well known that IQ tests only measure being good at IQ tests, but also the disparities between groups dissappear when you don't tell people it's a test, so it also measures how often you've been told you're a very clever special boy.

Remember all the grief they gave Lineker?

This is utterly sub-standard reporting. It is free advertising for Nazis - effectively a press release. This is dangerously irresponsible stuff.

It was reported this week that British special forces officers vetoed asylum for their Afghan colleagues, because those soldiers had seen them commit war crimes against civilians and might be called to testify against them in court. As far as I can see, nobody who matters even blinked.

What's being missed in the Fraser Nelson stuff is that the rot is much deeper than just one magazine. It has set in across pretty much the whole of the right. Not so much a long march through the institutions as a devastating blitzkrieg lasting just a few years.

Tomorrow feels like a huge opportunity rather than a diddle. And Wednesday kicking off 45 minutes later than arsenal feels like a something.

The Fellaini derby ends in a draw. That final corner a fitting tribute to the big man.

Best possible outcome for the race vs Burnham's Boys. Puts us level going into tomorrow. Added incentive for Slot's side.

BBC News on hour reporting straight that Trump has got rid of military chiefs because ‘they’re too mired in woke culture’ 🤯🤯🤯 Traditional liberal democratic media still hasn’t learned how to report on authoritarians, even now when it’s almost too late

I'm not having Fraser Nelson playing dumb on the rise of racism on the right after years spent printing Murray, Liddle, Taki and Shriver. I literally had a DM row with him years ago where I said this would happen.

Always slightly worry the articles about how it's impossible to make art if you're from a working class background tend to reinforce the thing they say they deplore

think what grates most about Fraser Nelson's "a dramatic shift? of MY Overton window?" shtick is that those of us who kept talking about the Spectator's dangerous slide to the right were treated as hysterical, not able to see the humour in shock jocks, etc etc, when we were just clearly right!

The whole "Won't somebody think of the poor racists?" schtick would be more noteworthy if the parties currently commanding 3/4 of Britons' voting intention weren't openly and loudly thinking of the poor racists, and nobody else, every damned day.

Important that the collapse of the welfare state gets a mention in this - as the article says, back in the day there was more state support that gave artists breathing room to create. www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

The shameless bullshit of the bloviator right in Britain. Fraser Nelson trying to take the high ground against ethno-nationalist Conservatism. From someone who published as editor of the Spectator the repugnant racism of Douglas Murray & Rod Liddle (to name but two!). HT @jdportes.bsky.social

Lots of column inches about what Trump’s America means for British military, v little attention given to how c20/21 military & IT are closely intertwined, & how Trumpian IT firms are already climbing all over our public services, including NHS & health data, & what that means now…

From the headline I assumed he'd finally noticed that ethnonationalism might have its downsides as a strategy, but reading it, it's actually more "Leopards ate my face. Here's why we may soon not require faces"
