This won't go anywhere, obviously, but it's still a useful indication of how they'd act if they ever get into Government. Locking up journalists would just be the start
Reform UK said it has reported ITV to the police following the broadcaster’s expose which revealed racist remarks by members of the party The allegations involve an undercover reporter "doctoring" a passport and others canvassing for Reform in Portsmouth pressgazette.co.uk/news/reform-...

Can't help thinking if this was a car factory, a gas field or even a data centre it would be seen as a much bigger story. www.businessgreen.com/news/4537511...

As predicted this is the new culture war of choice, but let me be clear: all you're pointing at is a proxy of gas price. That's it. That's the thing. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

I wonder when the 'experts'out there will figure out that the UK Ministry of Defence's (& therefore also NATO's) new Skynet 6A secure comms satellite (due to be launched by Musk/SpaceX in 2027) is likely to suffer the same problems of being compromised👇 www.polarisintelligence.co/forecasts/la...

Agreed. Putin thinks he can get whatever he wants out of his sock puppets (this includes Elon Musk and Peter Thiel as well as Trump). Remember, as WSJ and ZDF reported, the FBI documented both Musk and Thiel have secret, undisclosed conversations directly with Putin over the last five years
It does seem like Putin is rushing fo get the most possible out of his client Trump before the electoral bloodbath of 3 November.

Look at the graph of US support for Ukraine, and how it disappeared when Trump entered his second term. The Russia hoax was never a hoax
And there you have it … 🤦🏻♂️ @kyivindependent.com @peterjukes.bsky.social @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social Trump says Russia will supply diesel to US and global marketplace after 'highly successful' discussion with Putin www.lbc.co.uk/article/trum...

"We support free speech!" "Wait; not panels that criticize us." "And definitely, we will absolutely pressure countries who attend any conference that criticizes us." "Plus, we also totally can't let anyone in who researches our hypocrisy." "But yeah, we still support free speech!" #Disinfo2026

The US State Department has decided to showcase its love of free speech by bullying an independent research conference. #Disinfo2026 "For too long, governments have exploited the pretext of combatting misinformation and disinformation for politically motivated reasons" 🤡🤡🤡 So FrEe SpEeCh, amirite?

I've been a member of the lobby for well over a decade. Not a single one of my lobby colleagues has said a word about the Conservatives banning me from their conferences, without any explanation. Contrast with the US where even Fox News stood in solidarity when Trump banned news outlets he disliked

I believe diesel drivers now fully in the find out stage.
Ah, poor* diesel drivers. You may well just be about to find out how much European supply of diesel got switched from Russia to the Middle East (& India) a few years ago. Product markets are potentially going to go tighter than a drum if disruption continues. *tiny violin plays the hits

Could we finish bumblefucking our way through the war in Iran before we start one with Cuba? Thanks
CBS: The Army is requesting military planning aimed for Cuba. Is the US preparing for military action? STATE DEPT SPOX TOMMY PIGOTT: We're always going to guided by the national interest of the US. The president has a wide array of options (Not a no!)

Remember, fascists have never won power without the help of mainstream conservatives. There are still some (many?) within the Conservative Party who would aid and abet a right-wing autocracy rather than see a democratic left-wing government. bsky.app/profile/flip...
Fascism has never come to power without money from rich people and the collusion of at least some of the mainstream conservative right. All that stuff about liberty and the rule-of-law goes out of the window when a left-ish government threatens to make them pay a bit more tax.

How is this news? billionaire oil person says uk needs to drill more and tax less, though, of course, he‘s actually in Monaco. And he would do more in the uk if the state subsidised him more. Dear BBC, that‘s like me saying the uk‘s problem is underpaid law profs. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I also can't stress this enough. I haven't seen one panic piece commentary on European gas storage that looked ahead to gas availability over the winter (you don't need to pay for storage if you can optimise your portfolio on the water as US LNG exports inevitably go crackers over the winter).

In the first Trump administration, the Trump family bent over backwards to deny any connections to Russia. To the point of covering up meetings in Trump Tower or discussions with the Russian Ambassador. Now, the Russians are literally funding their extravagance.
Look at this photo we found from Donald Trump Jr.’s lavish Bahamas wedding. Can you spot the Russian oligarch close to Putin who bankrolled the event? 🧵

I predicted a month ago that Trump was going to say exactly this. I said he was going to try and blame Ukraine for diesel prices and tell Zelenskyy to stop. And here it is. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Trump: "Zelenskyy has to do one thing -- he has to stop knocking out diesel fuel in Russia. He's causing a shortage of diesel fuel. This isn't done by the Middle East, this is done by what's happening with Russia and Ukraine."
