To be clear: Tony Blair’s championship of fossil fuels has no connection whatsoever with the very large amounts of money his institute receives from Saudi Arabia …

Would have thought the White House would be excited to show Americans how much money foreigners are paying them... ... unless that's not actually how tariffs work after all 🤔

Great article - You help "left behind" areas by helping the nearest big city. Our problem is the relative economic weakness of our big cities outside London.

The usual dingbats praising and retweeting this But ignoring that the whole reason British culture is “already multi faceted” is precisely because other cultures changed and influenced “British values” It’s not set in stone. Like language You can’t just say “it’s complete. Follow the rules”

Fifteen years to the day from Gordon Brown's encounter with Gillian Duffy and it continues to loom far too large in Labour's thinking. Here is Duffy in 2016, mourning the loss of English identity. She thinks we send trillions to the EU, get nothing back, and that we'll all be fine after Brexit. ~AA

"Three to four times as many Labour voters... in the Midlands and northern England are being tempted by the Lib Dems as those classed as Reform-curious... The party’s left flank is seething with discontent but gets less attention as MPs and apparatchiks obsess over Farage" www.ft.com/content/deb2...

look you know I rarely have a good word to say about the political press in America but lets not excuse the voters themselves here.

Whatever opinion you do have about the current state of debate and law about gender in the U.K., I would hope all of you realise that “suppressing data on the suicides his policies are causing” is a conspiracy theory with no basis in reality. Coroners, y’know, exist.

I feel like I’m losing my mind with the lack of wall to wall coverage on disappearing children with cancer i keep saying this, but it’s not 5% of the uproar that came from Biden’s debate. “kids peeing in litter boxes”, a thing that never happened, got orders of magnitude more coverage.

A lot of the views of various officials in this piece reminds me of @williamcb.bsky.social’s essay about how these people don’t really understand AI - it’s just a catch-all term to position themselves as representing the future

MAGA(particularly MTG) are quietly celebrating the death of Pope Francis, who reminded them what is actually expected of them as Christians. They don’t worship Christ, they worship Trump. Just wait until he dies and they see the public reaction to that. youtu.be/OdM4O7nzako?...

Surprised to find the UK wastes ‘£1,4’ billion on ‘Benefit overppaid’, £60 billion on ‘Corporatie price gouging’, and £30 ‘bilion’ on ‘Prezatised utility & service dividends’. Although I’d probably focus on not using error-strewn AI-gen infographics for political comms.

Left: President Trump at Pope Francis's funeral Right: Pope Francis saying Donald Trump isn't Christian because he thinks of building walls not bridges, followed by Trump calling Pope Francis disgraceful
