The positive of Balogun is it's the first time a Republican has intervened to reduce a black man's sentence.

🚨 Investors have lost $7 billion on Trump crypto ventures, per new estimate. The Trumps are up $3.1 billion, $1.9 billion of which they have already cashed out. @danalexander21.bsky.social for Forbes

@moatstv.bsky.social Hi George listening to your podcast today and was interested in your point on sovereignty, you said how important it was & that the UK in Europe had no sovereignty & that was a bad thing. As a Scot like yourself I was wondering why then do you now want Scotland to rejoin the EU?

I’ve signed of course. Over to you 🙂👍

This is the difficulty. It was reported Mandelson had failed security vetting as long ago as September 2025

Jeez. I know government ministers sometimes dance around questions but this is crazy

@moatstv.bsky.social George why are you number two on the Glasgow regional list for the Scottish Parliament Election? Your party will still get my vote but would have liked to see you as No 1.

Pope Leo criticises President Trump's illegal attack on Iran, "Unjust war that continues to escalate that is not solving anything" "It's only provoking more hatred in the world" "Attacks on civilian infrastructure is against international law"

In her Easter address, President Trump's spiritual advisor Paula White compares Trump to Jesus, "You were betrayed and arrested and falsely accused" "It's a familiar pattern that Jesus showed us" "But it didn't end there for Jesus and it won't end there for you"

Lawrence O’Donnell made a great point. Nixon won his 1972 re-election in a landslide, winning 49 states. In 1974 he resigned. By 1976, you couldn’t find anyone who would admit to supporting him. Looking forward to history repeating itself.

@moatstv.bsky.social George you recommended a tv series about life in Palestine It was set in the 30s or 40s it was not a very well known series do you remember what it was called? Thanks

💥 No president in the modern era has ordered more military strikes against as many different countries as Donald Trump. He's attacked 7 nations, three of which had never been targeted by U.S. military strikes. He authorized more individual air strikes in 2025 than Biden did in four years.

But they said he was “The peace president.” 🥴

“I’m old enough to remember the 1989 helicopter crash with Trumps casino execs aboard headed out to testify in a case related to Trump. Trump backed out of the flight at the last minute stating that “he was too busy” to leave at the time. The pilot,co-pilot and 3 execs died that day.”

“You’re not gonna be able to air it.” “This is an Australian news program. We use that word as an adverb.”

“We are getting wokeness the hell out of our military” — Trump at Navy 250th: less woke, more Gulf of America

Trump’s Caddie magically drops a ball for him not in the deep stuff ⛳️

Trump: “We hit $1.99 a gallon today in 5 different states.”

"Everything felt like it was meant to break you. Nothing was explained to us. I wasn’t given a phone call. We were locked in a room, no daylight, with no idea when we would get out." #StopICE

Elsewhere on social media…

And yet the world does *nothing* …Wait, what’s that tiny dot on the Mediterranean Sea? Enter the #FreedomFlotilla who fully understand the meaning of “facta, non verba.” (The world we live in…and a lesson to us all.)

This is a superb, fact-filled FT article on China’s trading profile, its $1 trillion trade surplus, the fact it makes almost 1/3rd of the world’s manufactured goods…more than the US, Japan, Germany and South Korea combined. ig.ft.com/china-trade-...

Effective immediately, the government says it will begin screening immigrant social media for activity that officials think indicates support for antisemitism.

I did my best to round up all the best commentators to answer this question... theweek.com/business/eco... W/ particular shout out to @beijingpalmer.bsky.social who is invaluable on this!
