Excellent thread 👇
It has been called “the most prophetic work of humanity”. In 1971, it told us why collapse is coming and how to avoid it.

It was denounced by almost every leading economist - but it was right.

Hillary Clinton's latest Israel comments are vile.

She thinks young Jewish Americans are turning on Israel because they're ignorant and brainwashed by TikTok.

Given her history of foreign policy catastrophes and crimes, she is shameless 👇

It's all bad but hadn't seen the bit where Farage says:

"The European Union is the prototype for the New World Order."

That is a seriously, deeply problematic term that taps into Illuminati and antisemitic conspiracy theories.

How the fuck did this man direct the course of our politics?
We kept the receipts. These comments, taken together, paint a picture of the man he is today.

but will only truly hit home if say, Islington or Chipping Norton or Canary Wharf was affected in a similar fashion.
Media and Politicians would be quick to get on the bandwagon of Climate Emergency.
Other nations plan for likely Emergencies, we just wait for them to happen
Devastating floods in Southeast Asia have killed hundreds of people, with many still missing. Extreme weather events like this will only become more frequent and more intense—urging us to confront climate change head-on.

Bloody hell -they're actively seeking out meetings with those who've accused universities of “poisoning the minds” of students, claiming they spread a “twisted interpretation of history.”

Today, in The Times, there is an attempted hit piece on my employer – Good Law Project.

It is *incredibly* weak, and perhaps the biggest compliment really is just how little they have to accuse us of. But it also promotes the Trans Mission concert – to which you should buy tickets!

Isn't it @timothysnyder.bsky.social who says 'Don't surrender in advance'

Well Cambridge university has a history of incubating Russian spies so no change there then. Treason masked as intellectual pragmatism.

The central delusion of Thatcherism is the idea politicians can destroy the postwar settlement and replace it with nothing, which in practice turns out to always be panicking governments shoring up the systems they vandalised fuck out of, using sticky tape and wood glue.
