We are already at the ‘purging the generals and replace them with loyalists’ part of the Trump second term, just five weeks in. Totally normal. Not dangerous at all

Why Labour is not the answer for Scotland in two articles: www.theguardian.com/politics/202... In which the UK PM abandons Zelensky in favour of appeasing Trump. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025... In which their Scottish leader goes all Elon Musk. Jeesh…what is the Labour Party for these days?

The greatest lesson of the past decade for me is just how cheaply people will sell off their oaths, their ideals, their country. It is utterly depressing.

This is incredible. The #BBC doesn’t even have it in a headline an hour after it was said?? Very slow to react to something this important. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/18/p...

Mandelson on removing Palestinians from Gaza with no right of return - “Trump has aired some interesting ideas, we will engage with him on these” He represent us as ambassador to the US. Going along with ethnic cleansing. Appeasing Trump at all costs is shameful. #mewsnight #mandelson

For those who continue to deny that Trump and the MAGA GOP's objection to asylum-seekers and refugees isn't racist, check out which group, out of all the conflicts on earth, Trump has made a very special refugee resettlement for. Yep. White South Africans. Beyond parody.

The most dangerous, weak, post-truth language from the #bbc “Will be seen as” sounds innocuous, but it’s the kind of framing that erodes truth and makes it sound like opinion. Trumps plan flies in the face of international law - no other words needed! #newsnight #gaza

The world's richest man - perhaps the richest man who has ever lived - gloating about shutting down aid for the world's poorest people. All while posing as the champion of the common man. The great lie of populism in its most naked and morally putrid form.

Feels like the #gaza ceasefire was just a pause before the full destruction and ethnic cleansing, with Trumps clear support, recommences. The UK must respond to the despicable abandonment of the Palestinian people in Gaza and the US proposal to move 2m people into refugee camps. #palestine

Wow. Just listen to this from Canadian MP, Charlie Angus on Trump's tariffs: “The threat comes, of course, from the president of the United States—a convicted felon and known predator”

As someone trained as a trade economist, it is my duty to share the 1929-1933 Kindleberger Spiral, showing the month-month decline in global trade due to the combined factors of the (global) Great Depression and retaliatory tariffs. Smooth Hawley is implemented mid-June 1930.

Lord Mandelson, "I consider my remarks about President Trump ill judged and wrong" "Times and attitudes towards the presidents have changed since then.. I think he has won fresh respect.. He certainly has for me" When a job is more important than your integrity 🤷‍♂️

Absolutely right to say the NHS isn’t broken. That is exactly what those who want to commercialise health for gain want. Our system has low admin costs relative to oecd comparators. It just needs more money. Rather than having a min %age of GDP on defence, why not on health and care? #bbcdn

Scottish Tory on #bbcdn saying we need a Trump. Threatening friendly nations, picking on minorities, trade wars, letting criminals out that beat up police, advocating ethnic cleansing in Gaza, climate denial, etc etc. What has become of the Tories, terrified of Reform.

it’s becoming increasingly clear the goal of the far right is to defund and buy up every source of reliable information until there is no more objective reality to counter them

Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?

The radicalisation of much of the right in Britain far exceeds that of the left under Corbyn. (I say that as a staunch critic of Corbyn). It's essential that decent Conservatives speak out, if they don't want the likes of Cummings, Oakeshott and Jenrick to prostitute their tradition to an arsonist.

"This has led to comparisons with the events of autumn 2022, and a suggestion that Reeves may be having a Liz Truss / Kwasi Kwarteng moment. This is obviously bollocks, but how obviously bollocks?" 👏 @financialtimes.com 11-8227-404d-8629-ae7dca82d0b8
