Well, this one has certainly 'done the numbers'. -16k Likes etc. I thought the allusion to the 'Troubles' and indeed Bloody Sunday was too subtle, but it seems not. Troops are not civil police and have little training in public order. Deploying troops against civilians is never a good thing.

Trump appears to be engineering a situation in which he could invoke the Insurrection Act. Democracy (feeble and partial as it is) offends his every instinct, and he will do whatever he can to snuff it out.

Reform UK has uncovered the scandal of a “wasteful” £350m contract. Small problem: it’s not a contract. Or £350m. Or a scandal. Here’s how they got it completely wrong. 👇👇

Post the Epstein tweet, Trump has stopped poking the bear. There’ll be a reason for that and it won’t be diplomatic restraint. What else does Elon know?

While Reform has a mini meltdown and Musk/Trump tear chunks out of each other, maybe media could start scrutinising these grifting tossers who do nothing but harm and call it patriotism. They don’t even know how to behave, let alone decide policy. Time to start binning off these foghorns of failure.

Trump and Musk were never friends. Trump needed Musk to fix his election; Musk needed Trump to make the federal investigations go away. Both faced jail if not. Now Musk wants to save the Tossla stock price. Everything else is leveraged on those shares. Shit gonna happen.

We’ve gone from 25% steel tariffs, to 0%, up to 50%, and now back to 25%. We’ve all seen this routine before. Trump causes chaos, Nigel nods along, and British workers pay the price. It’s time the government got serious about trade with our European and Commonwealth allies.

Our politics has become deeply unserious. Flags and gimmicks and stupid video clips and social media clickbait and lies. With very little serious challenge to counter the nonsense and the dishonesty. The consequences for our country and our democracy are dire. www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/robert-jen...

Farage was propelled to public prominence by Russian TV. The Kremlin would have had to authorise such coverage, meaning Russia saw Farage as a useful tool. Leave EU officials visited the Russian embassy 11 times. Farage & Arron Banks have repeatedly shilled for Russia. Brexit was a Russian triumph
