Stephen Fry on Trump “Look at who Trump admires -MBS in Saudi Arabia; Putin’s Russia, obviously; Lukashenko’s Belarus[ Erdogan’s Turkey; Milei’s Argentina; Modi’s India; Netenyahu’s Israel. Places which are, basically, moving toward fascism, nationalism and they don’t listen to people like Starmer”

Zelensky is perhaps the defining figure of our age. Brave, ingenious, pragmatic and defined by his convictions. They hate him because he kills fascists.

Of all the things Elon Musk has said, this is the worst. We cannot rely on Trump and his shadow president Musk. The UK must boost defence spending and take the lead in Europe.

how can Trump let Elon do all this, isn’t he angry at being upstaged? When did you forget he’s fucking senile? Do you remember the last month of the campaign where he was dancing and couldn’t say words and fell asleep and shit himself? That happened! He’s done! Why have people mind-wiped this?

The great stitch-up begins in Riyadh today, as the US government seeks to hand eastern Ukraine, bound and gagged, to Putin. This, as Trump knows and wants, will encourage Putin to threaten and destabilise the rest of Europe. Nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine.

In this week's column, I explore what I see as a very real prospect of systemic collapse, caused by Trump's actions, and suggest we start preparing. I try to explain how complex systems fail, and suggest some of the failure paths we could be on. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

In 1939 Nazi Germany invaded Poland, Soviet Union agreed to carve-up the country. History repeats itself: Russia invaded Ukraine. Trump-led USA agreeing a carve-up. Will embolden all dictators to grab territories and resources of weaker countries. Nuclear proliferation inevitable.

US Trump administration has pressured Romania to remove travel restrictions on Andrew Tate and his brother. They are accused of human trafficking, rape and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women. Will Romania capitulate? Anyone doubting how low Trump will sink?

Everything's changed - the world is screwed. Trump's in bed with Putin. The US cares not one jot for Western 'values.' Billionaires control our press & social media. The UK is still suffering from Brexit delusion. Apart from that, everything's great...

1. Still lots and lots of influential "old-world" people advocating the already broken play-nice processes as if they were still going to work: the mid-terms, the next elections, making court cases, the laws, the constitution, votes in parliaments, demonstrations with placards. 🧵

History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I am the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me." Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.
