🔥 "Farmland in Norfolk is being bought up by mega-rich counts and foreign billionaires, putting the squeeze on family farms. Researchers at Who Owns Norfolk? (WON)... have found farmland is being “hoovered up” by investors from abroad."

But wait, what about free speech?I thought Americans were okay with hurty words online?

Reddit is flooded with small businesses owners getting crushed by tariffs — devastated by the thought of raising prices, firing workers, or closing up shop entirely.

The British government doesn’t get it. Brexit was the first step in the populist crapshow that has weakened Europe as a whole vis a vis Trump and Putin. Reducing the harm of Brexit is the first step to Europe recovering

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Catching up with your conversation with @explaintrade.com concerning Peter Navarro - Ron Vara, and the Trump tariff debacle. “Who is Ron Vara? Ron Vara is an anagram of Navarro, which is his last name.” A little way in, the bizarre story is told. youtu.be/MJbZCbBLqkk?...

List of people who should crawl under a rock and never show their faces in public again. Same applies to a similar long list of craven right-wing media toadies

These are excellent- informative and entertaining- highly recommend!! Well done Simon Marks.

This is Tymofii. Russia killed him with a cluster-loaded Iskander missile strike on Kryvyi Rih. He was only 3 years old. #Ukraine

“We hold all the cards” is exactly what the Brexiters said in the UK. Ten years later and the negative effects on our economy are inescapable. It will be the same for US.

I hate to day this but as a Brit I’m kinda enjoying watching a country have an even bigger breakdown than Brexit. What can I say but good luck guys, get used to it because- just like us- you’ve fucked it.

Is there a name for people who copy others people’s posts, passing it off as their own instead of reposting the original? It’s blatant and so needy.

You know what nobody is talking about right now? Simply this: Trump's barrage of tariffs makes a total mockery of WTO rules. You know, the ones that Brexiters assured us again and again that we'd be just fine operating under in the event of a no-deal Brexit... Ho hum.

I think this nails it.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A đź§µ to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Four young soldiers were recovered after days of searching underwater & in the mud for them. This is why they were there…my homage in @BulwarkOnline to the “wrenches” and our allies. Be thou at peace www.thebulwark.com/p/why-we-tra...

Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford on her victory, and to the people of Wisconsin for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.

My point here is not so much that Trump might not try and run, but how it should be covered journalistically. It would be illegal for Trump to run. There’s no legitimate way around it. Entertaining the prospect, as if there’s some clever way around it, lends the idea legitimacy.

Spare me your 'this'll be great for the far-right actually' takes. It's the worst kind of liberal defeatism.

Well done Sean Taylor and all involved.

Elon Musk has been a walking SEC violation for a decade and no one cared. The entire Trump era could have been avoided if the US took white collar crime anywhere near as seriously as it does low level drug crime.

Stop whining! No one asked you to buy yourself into the government and destroy people’s lives. You should have stayed in the private sector

Are you sure you want to go with that slogan, Nigel Farage?

Remember kids : it’s only excessive regulation if it’s European, otherwise it’s sparkling national security

Today, the Eiffel Tower is blue and yellow💙💛 This gesture of solidarity marks President Zelenskyy’s visit to Paris and a friendship between our countries 🇺🇦🤝🇫🇷 Merci bien!

Fuck that. Sanctions end when Russia retreats.

Badge of honour, this, for Sky's @marthakelner.bsky.social.

When I saw this just now, I thought it was a joke. Just checked, it’s not. This isn’t a government where people have designated roles… …it’s an 8-bed student house - and Elon is the household’s tech & computers guy.
