Given the pressures of 24-hour news, lobby journalists cannot plausibly understand policy detail or financial markets... Their skillset is to nose around and cause trouble. @samfr.bsky.social on the problems with the press lobby. www.prospectmagazine...

Trump's militia harass, follow and insults officers who defended US Capitol on Jan 6. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The ever brilliant @jonathanpienews.bsky.social nails it again. 🙌

Head in hands.

Donald Trump promised to let Elon Musk self-police his conflicts of interest. The result? Those investigating his companies have been fired. Cases against his companies have been dismissed. The corrupt self-dealing is staggering.

Never trust a dictator.

This means Marks & Spencer, folks. Stop funding their funding of hate.

Exploited migrant farm workers in UK paid for picks, not hours. Workers not paid for in-work travel, time spent moving between workstations, team meetings, receiving instructions on equipment use. Employers violating employment rights. Need effective enforcement, not deregulation.

Powerful. Tomorrow’s front page of the most influential weekly publication in Germany. “BETRAYED. First Zelensky, Soon Us? The radical departure of the US from its allies.”

“The postwar era is over. The global architecture built in 1945 is being burned to the ground by Trump. Europeans need to plan for a future where they have to defend themselves without the US. That future does not loom in the distance. It is already here.” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

So much is at stake when Germany goes to the polls tomorrow. My take on Friedrich Merz and a huge mistake he made during the campaign. While Germany can't be seen as that borderline-boring bastion of stability anymore, the centre might get its act together after all, ironically thanks to JD Vance. 👇

Winston Churchill is credited with saying that America does the right thing after exhausting the alternatives. Donald Trump has turned that aphorism on its head. In the past 10 days, he has all but incinerated 80 years of postwar American leadership. www.ft.com/content/1511...

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

I write @yorkshirebylines.co.uk about how Trump's actions on Ukraine increasingly looks like a complete shift of the position of the US. For the UK there are huge challenges, given military and security integration, & fixed 20th-century mindsets #Security yorkshirebylines.co.uk/news/world/g...

This timely reminder from Carole Cadwalladr. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

UK posts largest January budget surplus on record as tax take jumps – business live

" a provocative gesture that resembled the controversial salute Elon Musk gave" - you know who else did the same "controversial salute" as Elon Musk? The Nazis. Call it what it is, a Nazi salute, rather than making out somehow Musk is the only person to have made it? Stop dancing around it.

Credit where credit is due In a time of totalitarianism speaking the truth is an act of courage and resistance

This is Trump trying to get us to blame Zelensky for what America is about to do. Trump - the draft dodging, daddy’s money inheriting, sex pest is daring to criticise a man we can all see is brave, tireless, patriotic, hardworking and inspiring. He is rapidly turning the world against America.

Trump calls Ukraine's Zelenskyy a 'dictator', 'modestly successful comedian', who should ‘move fast’ or lose country. Part of the strategy to force Ukraine to hand territory to Russia, mineral wealth to US. What next? Can't trust Trump as an ally. UK must rejoin EU. www.nbcnews.com/news/world/z...

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Colossal liar defends another colossal liar, says that lies don’t matter and that somehow everything is Europe’s fault. Again. 🙄

“We are witnessing a very sad moment in American history. The President of the United States is aligning himself with the dictator of Russia, Vladimir Putin, to undermine the independence of Ukraine and its democracy”

In case you’re not sure how it’s going down here, America.

We are calling for a nationwide and international boycott of all Elon Musk-related products and services. Sell your Tesla shares, avoid buying Tesla vehicles, cancel Starlink, and delete your X accounts.

The border czar wants the FBI to arrest AOC. A Fox News contributor is calling journalist Mehdi Hasan a terrorist. Elon Musk said everyone at 60 Minutes should go to prison. You all see how quickly we’re descending into madness, right? It’s not subtle, slow, or anything but a premeditated scheme.

Young people are being set up to fail financially. They don’t understand credit, tax, or even how to run a bank account. This has to change | Prof Richard Murphy @eastangliabylines.co.uk

I love the "we brought them freedom" bit. That will be news to the descendants of people who were ruled by the Empire.

Now that musk is saying he’s doing the DOGE stuff “because the globalists have plotted a Great Replacement in which they use government handouts to buy votes from illegal immigrants and urban blacks” maybe we don’t have to act like this is about deficits or cost cutting anymore
