Ear worm currently being exorcised - Chinese Wall by Philip Bailey - all the way from 1984. Which makes me feel a bit old 😬 4 decades ago… 🎵🎶🎤🎺

@lbc.co.uk Tom Swarbrick this afternoon is a magnet for headbangers. The state of the callers & that rich US doge man. jeez. The UK resoundingly kicked out the TrumpMusk lunacy style politics embodied in the selfish rich Tories - democratically voting for Labour with Starmer. 🙄

USA academic research brain drain in the USA. A chance for the rest of the world - Europe / UK espc. to court talented academics and advance influence here. If the USA wants to cut itself off at the knees then let’s embrace their brightest and best. The USA is adrift and lost.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social i can’t help wondering whether Putin has some serious leverage on Trump and whether that might explains Trump’s deranged anti-democratic proclamations against Ukraine and pro Putin. Is Trump actually afraid of not delivering on Putins demands?

Trump to Zelensky: “Nice country you got there. Shame if something happened to it.”

Dear god. Just seen what Fanta Fuhrer has said about Zelensky. I hate him with the power of a thousand suns. America is now the propaganda wing of the Kremlin.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social watching the coup in the USA, Trump & Putler carving up Ukraine for themselves, Labour being toothless to rebalance power back to the people, continuing hated policies of the Tories & continuing to feed the rich, I feel defeated. Utterly defeated. What’s the point any more?

What DOES Putin have on Trump? It can’t only be because crooked Trump admires the shithousery of the Russian mafia boss?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Captures it perfectly.

Can we stop calling the Labour Party progressive now? It looks like they’re about to restart private finance initiative projects which the Tories stopped in 2018 because they are terrible for public finances. Read that again - the Tories stopped this, and it looks like Starmer will restart them 🚨

This shit doesn’t happen in France and I’ll tell you why: the rich went too far once and they cut all their heads off and now, when those in power fuck workers over, the French stop working. Don’t forget your real power Americans. They don’t let you have unions for a reason.

If we learn anything from the takeover of the US by the rich right wing, and similar (and plundering of public purse) pushing Brexit in the UK, is so many are fooled to vote against their interests. We NEED political eduction and measures to curb bad actors and lies. Populism is a tool to fool you.

There are some big flaws in Reform UK's anti-renewables policy: 1. Our high energy price is due to use of the most expensive source, which is gas 2. The fossil fuel industry received £20bn more subsidies than renewables 2015-2023 3. Most of the UK public is not against Net Zero
