A dictatorship hosting another dictatorship to negotiate with an aspiring dictatorship about the future of a democracy that’s not represented.

To the right-wing pundits crowing over Vance's speech: if you are really "less worried" about a dictator-state that's invaded its neighbour, killed tens of thousands of people, reduced cities to rubble & engaged in mass rape and child abduction, than you are about "wokery", then you are truly lost.

Word of the Day is ‘bayard’ (16th century): one who has the supreme self-confidence of ignorance.

The @Telegraph, @thetimes, @MailOnline & @TheSun publish corrections to their scaremongering on undocumented migrants in London. Imagine between them the reach & power of these papers. The fact is they are using that power to instil Trumpist hate & we are ill-equipped to resist.

the headline is not “trump blames deadly plane crash on DEI” but “trump seizes on deadly plane crash to attack minorities”

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence. He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials. It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

Will someone, anyone, in our elected government stand up to the hatred, racism and misinformation propounded by Donald Trump and Elon Musk? Britain has not felt so weak and small in my lifetime.

We don't defeat populists by calling out their lies. We tried that. Facts are complicated, and the audience for populism wants simplicity. It won't work. We defeat populists by enacting bold political ideas that improve lives for the disenfranchised, and make the world seem less grotesquely unfair.

BREAKING: Romania’s top constitutional court has annulled the presidential election after security services reported that a massive Russian influence campaign had distorted the vote in favor of Călin Georgescu, a far-right candidate.

Here's Trump with Brexiters Farage, Raheem Kassam, and Arron Banks. And here's Raheem Kassam boasting about Russia defeating Ukraine in half a day, and Farage shilling for Putin. Brexit was the product of a successful Russian influence operation.

Absolutely loved @mrjamesob.bsky.social's #HowTheyBrokeBritain. Frighteningly well-researched and articulated. A must-read for anyone with even a vague interest in how Britain got into such a mess.

Just a reminder of what trade deals “with the rest of the world” have done for us compared with what we have lost and continue to lose… (Private Eye)
