'Blessed are those who think Brexit is Bollocks'. youtu.be/hV80lICVTMs?...

🤞😎🤞

The allegations are so numerous and so specific, and the denials so broad, that they are startling to read. If even a fraction of the allegations have a significant factual basis, this will be a scandal for the ages.

In 2020, Jared Kushner was senior advisor to the president of the United States, a full-time employee of the United States government, and was subject to numerous disclosure requirements and ethical restrictions under the Ethics in Government Act of 1978.

Another story impossible to imagine in any other administration: the president's son goes hunting with a Russian criminal who is part of Putin's security entourage

Solar has overtaken nuclear. A decade ago it supplied 1% of the world's power. In 2025 it met three quarters of global demand growth. Almost nobody saw it coming. I spoke to Jocelyn Timperley at BBC Future about why. www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

This is just the maddest argument. These people would trap us in poverty to keep a decade old commitment, which no one ever actually made, to an electorate which no longer exists.

Australia has essentially eradicated cervical cancer, two decades (+/-) on from the introduction of the HPV vaccine

This is utterly damning, and yet still about as generous as possible

That is exactly what he is doing. laying track. Good turn of phrase. Journalists in particular are impatient for timetables, but good politics is about making the case and bringing people with you.

Burnham is doing what Starmer should have done. He is making the case that Brexit hasn't worked, saying what his own view is, and explaining what the likely choices are, and where the ownership of decisions will rest. Ie proper grown up politics for the first time in years

"You don't have to be Ukrainian to support Ukraine. It is enough just to be human."

The far-right can be defeated but one crucial factor is motivating young people to vote. If young people had voted in the same numbers as older people the UK would still be in the EU.

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.

I understand the “yes, but…” takes about Serbia. The country has been kleptocratic for years, has a lot of unprocessed anger and complexes. Reform, progress are hard. But look at Budapest 6 months on from Magyar’s victory. You can start to turn it around with determination and hard work!

I was having conversations with journalists just a few months ago about whether democracy was doomed. Look at this year: Orban defeated. Vukic defeated. Bolsonaro Jr defeated. Trump heading to likely defeat in midterms. That’s the beauty of democracy. Voters can respond. Don’t count it out yet.

Most talk of constituencies being 'pro-Brexit' or 'Brexit-supporting' is incredibly lazy for basic reasons that large parts of Westminster just don't seem to be able to fathom.

Google "Trump orban" for a surprise

It's the people and politics that are against being a signatory to the ECHR that proves the need to be a signatory to the ECHR.

Incredible. Student List are candidates selected by groups of students to form an anti-corruption party. Another youth-led movement overthrowing an authoritarian government in Europe.

@lbc.co.uk It is hilarious to see Jenrick realise his career is over.

Gas prices are “temporarily” high, says the president. That’s because Republicans are temporarily in power. Vote.

This is one of the most holy sh*t stories I’ve ever read in my life. www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

The EU doesn't care about the Euro or Schengen. Straw man

Very impressive that he's talking about this.

Burnham is a smart and experienced politician and knows which way the wind is blowing. This is all very careful and deliberate.

Now that's what I call a lede. ftav.substack.com/p/of-spacex-...

Precisely. Stop the small boats, and the Racists will turn on Legal immigration. Stop all Legal immigration, and the Racists will turn on the Brown people who are already here. Deport all the Brown people here, and the Racists will turn on the 'Lefties' - etc, etc, etc, etc ...

As @gabyhinsliff.bsky.social says, you’ll never satisfy the far right. They’ve gone from banging on about EU migrants to attacking people who aren’t white. Whatever happens to the migration stats, the bigots will just keep moving the target. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Exactly my thought when I first heard the policy. If you want people to integrate, don’t keep them hanging around for 15 years with the threat of deportation hanging over them. 5 years is fair and plenty long enough. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

“So Much Worse Than People Realize”: Never-Before-Seen Images Reveal Damage at U.S. Bases as Troops Describe Being Abandoned Service members, contractors, and military families share photos, videos, and firsthand accounts of the Iran war that they say the Pentagon has kept from the American public.

Always fun to see the actual elite trying to warn us about ”the elite”

In the long term this is way more destructive than Jackdaw, because it actively slows down electrification and weaning households off residual LNG consumption.

damage is probably already done. the world needs to derisk away from america. it was dumb to do it in the first place but the sales pitch was always "secular multicultural democracy with more or less functional institutions" -- well youre lighting all that on fire, mostly to be seen as cool online

again: whatever we had here was all bought and paid for with blood. wars were fought. the slaveholders and the fascists lost. this soft handed pallid little worm and all his paper wealth extracted from your taxes is not permitted to just tip it over by writing some checks. sorry

i wonder what percentage of the electorate now understands that this man and maybe 75 other people like him are actively trying to destroy our lives. that he is the biggest national security threat we have faced, even moreso than bin laden or whoever. its got to be dawning on more and more people

It's always the people you most suspect...

Zelenskyy’s advisor: “We have not observed any lifting of speed limits on Starlink. There are isolated instances where Starlink may operate slightly faster than the speed limit, but this is likely due to the SpaceX algorithm or specific usage conditions, rather than the speed limit being lifted.”

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