Extraordinary story the Wall Street Journal. X is threatening advertisers that if they don’t spend more, Elon Musk will use his influence in government to block company mergers. That’s extortion.

It’s very funny to me when people write “would Canada and Greenland get statehood?” content from DC, which has the population of New Brunswick and no statehood.

It's not a story that is going to go away anytime soon and it saps her credibility. There are not many professions you would not face some kind of sanction for lying on your CV.

Trump is in the position he is in, in some part due to the cowardice of politicians like Rubio who convinced themselves that 1. They could not face the tide of his supporters. 2. The belief that you can sufficiently moderate him by working with him.

Love this thread. My absolute favourite thing in any museum of the ancient world is when you happen upon a letter or a carving or a past time that makes you go 'oh, right. We're still the same dumb monkeys'. I find it magical and oddly comforting.

I think this exactly it: a strange thing about 'Conservative policymaking and politics since 2016' is that they have basically started acting like a junior partner with a series of contradictory demands that a grown-up big party is meant to sand off in the coalition negotiations.

As covered in @stephenkb.bsky.social @financialtimes.com newsletter - as the Government bets on growth, a majority of the public aren't convinced economic growth benefits people like them, majorities of Reform/Green voters think growth will make no difference to them. www.ft.com/content/e2f6...

You don’t see a 0% very often in polling - Brexit’s appeal, always narrow, has not expanded an inch (or a centimetre). And people who supported it at the time are mostly of the view that it made no difference. Few major political projects have failed so abjectly to become a settled consensus…
