He destroyed his country, maybe they want him to destroy the UN as well?

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

"There’s not enough room in my chest for all this joy". What incredible news to wake up to. First Serbia, now this www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

Read and weep. Carole was a Cassandra a decade ago. How she was treated was a disgrace. Worse, how many lives have been lost & democracies damaged as many, especially UK govt, 'turned a blind eye' to Putin's 'active measures'? Incredible integrity and 'persevilience.' @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social

Brazil and Serbia, defying rise the tide of autocracy. This is how we do it, everywhere. 🌈

Another brilliant report by @alexcrawfreports.bsky.social for @news.sky.com on Afghanistan! Heartbreaking and horriifying, but holding on to fragments of hope thanks to brave women, some men speaking out, and reports like this highlighting the inhumanity of such disgusting gender apartheid. @hrw.org

Great to see on the front of the Mail, Telegraph, Express, Sun.* 'The no. of young people admitted to London hospitals after knife attacks is down 55% since Sadiq Khan launched a Violence Reduction Unit, with London falling faster than the rest of England.' *Joke www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/y...

BBC report sanitises the overt racism: It notes that organisers warned marchers not to talk to journalists, then gives the "anti-immigration group"'s own sanitised description of itself. It does not report they chanted "England for the white man" in the streets. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Trump and Musk are just stringing Ukraine along and letting Russia attack it with impunity. And the American press is foolishly falling for blue smoke and mirrors, arguing whether Musk or Trump are responsible. Hint, they both are!

Is billionaire JKR still on fascistic billionaire's platform? I boycotted over: Child Sexual Abuse Material, promotion of far right, racism, civil war, indicted war criminals Putin & Netanyahu & Trumpian autocratic playbook eroding liberal democratic values & rights of minorities, LGBTQ AND women.🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

You don’t fight fascists by pretending their ‘concerns’ are ‘legitimate’.

Elon Musk boosted the lie that James Talarico stayed at a mental hospital. Meta suspended No Kings’ Instagram account during nationwide actions. Staff at the Ellison-owned CBS News were reportedly told to tie Abdul El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood and 9/11. Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

Turning Point UK was supposed to be a youth movement All it's ever done is appeal to middle aged thugs

The immigration doom loop, summed up here by @gabyhinsliff.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

💯 THIS ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #immigration #doomloop

Douglas Murray writes a commentary in the Spectator offering a modern mashup of Powellite/Elon Musketeer themes of choosing whether to be a spectator at their own funeral pyre - or to fight back. Closely echoes Elon Musk's "fight back or die" narrative (that violence may become necessary+legitimate)

Probably!! But the bar is so low now!! youtu.be/gNjHm0b5jDA?...

"They can start cutting people's faces up. They can stab someone. They can shoot someone." EXCLUSIVE: Our hidden cameras capture the leader of Turning Point UK organising a fake rally for a foreign government and helping arrange a murder-for-hire with loyalist paramilitaries.

Jack Ross, CEO of Turning Point UK and a former Conservative election candidate, has been suspended from the party in the wake of undercover sting by Al Jazeera reportedly showing him discussing the cost of hiring contract killers. Story from @benquinn75.bsky.social and me

No early warning as fresh strikes hit Ukraine www.channel4.com/news/no-earl...

When did the BBC description of Tommy Robinson change from ‘far right activist’ to ‘political activist’? Because that’s how he’s described on Radio 4 now

Thank you Ian. You never get time to say everything you intended to. I should have noted that what Trump considers pressure tactics, like suspending intel on Russian missile launches or messing with Starlink, is costing lives of civilians in Ukraine. That won’t be forgotten.

The trade unions resisting a political donations cap in the UK are ragged-trousered philanthropists. Thanks to their delusion that a system allowing limitless donations enhances their power, they're in danger of handing the country to the far-right parties that billionaires support. Burnham must act

It’s particularly self-absorbed to argue Putin is a ‘tiny problem’ for Britain because you've got a grudge against the civil service.

“Sanctions silence what hurts.” Jeanne Sulzer on how the US is using the same playbook against international justice as for the counter-disinformation field — and what the response must be.

“People are dying every single day. And my party is unified on saying this government is still arming that genocide.” Zack Polanski on the Labour government's continued involvement in Gaza and the fight for Palestinian rights. #BBCLauraK

This has been Putin's dream for years: That his country, with GDP per capita lower than Poland, unable to conquer Donbas since 2014, will be treated as an equal to the US and China. www.wsj.com/world/russia...

Sure it did. Just like how the Trump administration sorta happened to stop sharing information with Ukraine-so they no longer get warnings about impending Russian ballistic missile attacks-and more innocent civilians die These bastards have morphed from callous thugs to full blown war criminals

Internet Watch Foundation has reported a huge rise in AI child sexual abuse material, with the number assessed already 40% higher than last year. Read our investigation by @kdenkwrites.com into CSAM networks online

The team @e3g.bsky.social reckons claims Rosebank and Jackdaw will boost tax returns are decidedly questionable. www.businessgreen.com/news/4537499...

Did we really win the Cold War? Defeat fascism? Bury the Confederacy? In retrospect, thanks to Trump, MAGA and their enablers, perhaps none of those things. My latest. Hope you’ll give it a read. davidrothkopf.substack.com/p/so-as-it-t...

Notable that Marco Rubio is "very disturbed" by these images in @news.sky.com report, and Trump doesn't want to see them and has repeatedly told Israeli govt to crackdown on it? @alexcrawfreports.bsky.social @yaldahakim.bsky.social @channel4news.bsky.social @amnesty.org youtube.com/shorts/o2Dhb...

There we have it (again): “European companies face “devastating” retaliation from Washington if Brussels presses ahead with plans to restrict American rivals such as Elon Musk’s SpaceX from parts of the European market, the US ambassador to the EU has warned.” Coercion is a short-term strategy.

The riots are about education & the cost of living. Reducing immigration will not solve those embedded problems & restore “fraternity”. What is it with Phillips’ obsession about (implicitly Muslim) immigration? French riots show Andy Burnham his top priority www.thetimes.com/article/6610...

Goodall vs Goodwin, a man so immersed in the study of radicalisation that he appears to have become radicalised himself. He cannot see the truth staring him in the face. He has become an example of the very phenomenon he studied. Seemingly immune to reason and unable to recognise what he has become.

Barack Obama just delivered a blistering rebuke of Trump's actions against Ilhan Omar. This is worth reading in full.

Palantir didn't have to evade the UK's controls on lobbyists to get astonishing, unminuted access to government ministers and officials, or even to hire them to lobby their colleagues. Why not? Because there aren't any. My column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
