A pub named Reform, yet haunted by the ghost of buyer’s remorse. “If they'd explained Brexit…”—as if sovereignty came with terms and conditions he forgot to read. Still spares Farage, mind you. Like blaming the curry but forgiving the chef who spat in it. #brexit

Elon Musk and Donald Trump, (a thread)—two men so achingly self-made they had to borrow billions and inherit millions just to prove it—have finally split. It’s like watching a Punch and Judy show, except both puppets are convinced they’re the real genius. #Musk #Trump #Bromance

www.bbc.com/news/article... A billionaire who owes his fortune to government subsidies calling public spending an “abomination” is the sort of hypocrisy that would make Orwell wince. Musk loves state support—so long as it’s aimed at him and not at anyone in actual need. #Musk

www.bbc.com/news/article... When the state lies, it’s called “national security.” When the press reports it, it’s called “bias.” MI5 deceives, and yet some still ask why scrutiny matters. The BBC’s real offence? Daring to remind us that power, left unchecked, will lie as a matter of routine.
