Polling like this at the next GE would result in an unholy alliance between Tories and Reform. But at their present rate of movement rightwards don’t count out Labour, who seem determined to outflank Reform in performative cruelty, says @pecksniffsdiary.bsky.social @eastangliabylines.co.uk

This actually does make us more likely to go to war over NATO, ironically enough. If the USA decision process is a racist random number generator, Russia is more likely to take a chance and overreach.

Do the reporters who gush about how macho prominent people are not realize how much this creepy sycophancy makes them sound like Renfeld? Especially when the macho muscular he-men they’re describing are soft whiny doughboys like Musk and Trump?

To be clear, it's not a mistake that grants to train special ed teachers were cancelled. MAGA absolutely considers those to be verboten "DEI," and Silicon Valley considers them contrary to their eugenics project.

“President Trump didn’t talk much during the press conference, somewhat slumping at his desk, deferring to Musk several times to answer questions from the press about the role of the Executive Branch, leading some to wonder who is actually in control of the WH”. Easy. Factual. News. Copy.

A thing that is a 1:1 comparison between what Elon did at Twitter and what he’s doing in government is just harassing and making life miserable for people who never made the decisions he and his political allies hated.

A hunch I've had for a while is that a dynamic that explains much around the implosion of the global order is how when faced with populations demanding economic security and social stability the answer of so many politicians and policymakers is to proclaim the need for more disruption

A great deal of what Jeremy Corbyn is tweeting and posting on @bsky.app is stuff that makes me proud to describe myself as a Corbynista. But he and his co-thinkers have an attitude toward elections that help Nigel Farage, Tommy Robinson, Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and Keir Starmer. #UniteTheSocialists

Why do I think Zarah Sultana and Apsana Begum should consider quitting Labour, provided Jeremy Corbyn would let both join his Independent Alliance Group? Firstly, neither should quit until they discover what deal Richard Burgon made with Keir Starmer. Did he sell his soul to get the whip back?

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

"If home owners get into financial trouble, they will renegotiate the terms of their mortgage with the bank - and no bank wants to see a home owner who owes them money failing financially." This is not how banks work buddy. They WILL repossess your home. So yes, they’ll let universities go under.
