I have written a detailed account of Trump's relationship with Russia. "a reasonable analytical conclusion [is] that Trump has a political debt to the Russians which could prove problematic for him if fully ventilated" Trump is a Russian agent of influence. 1/2 open.substack.com/pub/arthursn...

Today on my LBC Sunday show I interviewed a former Trump adviser. She claimed that Putin wasn’t morally responsible for the war. I challenged her on that claim. She told me she didn’t like me and hung up. And they say the left are snowflakes. Watch the full interview here. youtu.be/tSsV7xyDyfY?...

1. Trump and his Death Eaters cannot tolerate any rival power. Europe, when united, is a major trading and diplomatic bloc. They see Russia (much less of a threat to US hegemony) as an excellent instrument for breaking up Europe, by threat or by force.🧵

Thought experiment for Labour… With over 4yrs and a huge majority, why not stir it up? Pitch your tent defiantly on the liberal lawn, loudly reject the epic failures of Brexit and rightwing immigration ideology and see how many liberal votes you gain instead of chasing Reform into a toxic dead end?

In the 2006 Italian film "Fascists on Mars", a group of fascists set out to conquer the red planet. There's a mutiny against the leader, the others are given a lift back to earth by aliens & he's left alone on Mars & forgotten. No reference to any real fascists planning to colonise Mars is intended.

Every hour you worked, every hour you spent away from your family, you were raising money for the Tories to spaff up the wall on performative bullshit.

Remember all these headlines describing a brief rise in government borrowing costs as being "market mayhem", followed by a week of demands for Rachel Reeves to quit? Well one week later and it turns out UK gilts are now outperforming every other G7 country this year, aside from the US

This can't be repeated often enough: batteries are getting cheaper incredibly fast. This not only means that our cars can drive on electricity. But also that solar and wind become "firm" sources of power, and we can use our electricity grid much better. www.iea.org/reports/batt...

Some days you just need to sing something fierce. This is my song ‘This Side of the Knife’ - if you think it might just be a response or prequel to a well-known folk song, you’re probably right. #folk #changeling #myth #darkfolk youtu.be/fN5ZJ4BBzdk?...
