I am confused, i thought it was the Americans doing this more that Russia. Can someone please explain? I know for a fact that JD Vance, Musk, The state Department have all made totally untrue pronouncements about life in Britain. I’m given to understand that they are all over X (?) Am I mistaken?

It is always the same betrayal: the public interest is sacrificed for the sake of immensely wealthy people. And Andy Burnham has already gone and done it. My column on how Burnham needs to defy the ultra-rich if he's not to follow Starmer out of the door. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Yeah, it’s that stupid: “Next they’ll be calling Canada geese ‘Donald ducks’”
Garlic from China, beans from Africa, figs from Turkey tomatoes from Holland and hosts of other food sold in British supermarkets, all grow brilliantly in my garden. Why don’t we grow and sell them in the UK? Can’t get the workers to pick them? Is this mad? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Really? Is that it? If this is all that’s come from COBR, it’s pitifully inadequate. As crisis deepens, it beggars belief that there aren’t eg plans to increase resources for the fire service, support for farmers, max workplace temperature, funded community cool spaces & obvs ban on new fossil fuels

Just why, @andyburnham.bsky.social Why fall down at the altar of fossil fuel worship? I guess if you wanted to dash all hope that this Labour would be any better than the past, you've done that on day one. More status quo. More death and destruction. Got it. #KeepItInTheGround
It's Day 1 of Andy Burnham being Prime Minister & Donald Trump is celebrating the destruction of our planet. Meanwhile Spain doubled it's renewables - before they had some of the highest bills in Europe and now some of the lowest bills. Labour need to stop appealing to Trump.

Today on my Sunday show I interviewed Donald Trump’s pastor. He accused me of having “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” You can judge for yourself which of us you think might be deranged. youtu.be/z9eL-y6MRs8?...

Anybody who had a vision to bring American levels of political, cultural and social polarisation to Britain - whether their motive was clicks or cash, ideology, boredom or anything else - would make it their top strategic priority to abolish the BBC, or to damage and diminish it at the very least
Quick thread on the BBC and the political and societal significance of recent developments: One of the main reasons the UK has historically been so much less polarised than the US, is that Britain has a shared source of information, consumed and trusted by most people regardless of their politics.
