The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

ONG. I’ve just sat in a restaurant in Spain next to some Americans…and all I can think is “fuck off and make America great again you morons!” I have become ‘that person’ 😔

Let’s eradicate our life support systems – that’ll teach the liberals! It's not just about giving destructive industries what they want, important as this is. The likes of Trump and Bolsonaro will kill the planet out of a vengeful desire to hurt. My column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The ruling class would rather burn the world than share it with the poor, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

After tea, in the fade-light, Old Fox walked to the sheep church on the Downs. It was dark, lit by a single oil lamp & deserted but for an elderly hare in the front pew. He was wiping tears away. It's all so hard, he said. I know, said Old Fox & went to sit with him.

If you think a test for dementia is an IQ test, you have dementia. If you don't realize you have been given a test for dementia because your physician suspects you have dementia, you have dementia. If you think being able to tell a giraffe from a whale makes you a genius . . . you have dementia.

It seems to me Trump is is accelerating and expanding his treason with Russia because he knows it will be harder after the midterms when the Republicans are no longer able to cover for his crimes.

“Donald Trump is a traitor. And he’s not simply a traitor in the loose sense of someone who commits an act of betrayal…Trump is a traitor in the very particular sense laid out in the U.S. Constitution…’adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.’” www.americaamerica.news/p/donald-tru...

“Someone else made me be a frothing racist and misogynist/lurking sexpest” is quite the excuse…. Honest to god… Will Farage *ever* take responsibility for anything?

How has the world come to this? As @iandunt.bsky.social put it: "Neither the US government nor a tech billionaire should be able to dictate the fortunes of a European war. This was another sign, if one was needed, that Europe urgently needs to develop its own alternatives."

A member of his party’s in jail for taking money from Russia to interfere in UK democracy so he knows damn well it’s plausible. Yet there’s no curiosity, no “I’d like to see the evidence”…just the flat out denial of a man who loves his country so much he doesn’t care if our democracy is compromised.

Brexit is forever tainted with disinformation, foreign interference, murky vested interests, ugly prejudice, unforgivable costs and now deep unpopularity. If you really cared about our country and wanted to fix its problems, you’d admit this… Good that Burnham is finally doing so…

Andy Burnham confirms what previous PM's - May, Johnson, Truss, Sunak and Starmer - failed to, that Russia interfered in the Brexit referendum.

Tories overstate net zero cost by nearly £500bn in apparent spreadsheet error. Same error amplified by right-wing think-tanks, press It suited their ideological leanings. Future historians might say - planet earth and human life was shattered by a spreadsheet error.

Aren’t they all repulsive… These corrupt, evil, traitorous men… Farage is particularly pathetic, in his little cap, selling us out to his monstrous sugar-daddy.

One year ago today, Canada hit the jackpot by electing the most qualified Prime Minister this country has ever had — and arguably one of the most qualified in the world. One of the kindest people in politics today. He has made us nothing but proud to be Canadians. 🇨🇦 HAPPY 1-YEAR CARNEYVERSARY! 🇨🇦

Join me on GB News where I will be lying about what Andy Burnham said, pretending to give a shit about pensioners and definitely not mentioning any £5m gifts, illegal donations or police investigations.

Just because I strongly oppose any measure to tackle Russian misinformation, doesn’t mean I’m on Russia's side. In unrelated news, one of the few times I bothered turning up for work as an MEP was to vote AGAINST measures to tackle the spread of Russian misinformation...

Good letters in The Times on Canada’s moves towards the EU. Seems we’re far happier to discuss the strategic sense of Canada rethinking its allies and trade arrangements, than we are to discuss our own not-so splendid Brexit isolation. Looking very foolish again, UK.

Man who supported Brexit then fucked off to Monaco to avoid contributing a penny of his £15 billion fortune to public services makes the mistake of thinking anyone gives a shit what he thinks.
