I cannot tell you how absolutely infuriatingly this stuff comes across to Europeans.

When we say America is no longer a reliable ally, it goes considerably deeper than Donald Trump himself. This kind of complacent, condescending shit is a *huge* part of it.

Our member @abigaildisney.bsky.social has a message for leaders at World Economic Forum in Davos: Extreme wealth threatens global stability and our shared future.

That’s why Abby and nearly 400 millionaires from around the world signed our open letter calling on leaders to tax the super rich.

This will get massively overshadowed today and as ever the devil is in the detail, but is should be one of the best things Labour has done. It has the potential to improve the lives and finances of millions of people.

It’s time to win. That’s the message from millionaires and billionaires who have signed our letter to leaders at #Davos urging them to end the control of extreme wealth and tax us, the super-rich #WEF26.

When even millionaires, like us, recognise that extreme wealth has cost everyone else everything else, there can be no doubt that society is dangerously teetering off the edge of a precipice.
We want our democracies back. We want our communities back. We want our future back.
Tax the super rich. It's time to win.

Frankly: it is ridiculous that Russia (population circa 145 million, awful demographics, GDP of about the same size as Italy) is a security threat to Europe that requires US help to manage. But it currently is.
Reversing that is the first aim. And very very achievable.

Why is Donald Trump changing his mind every five minutes and saying completely mad stuff an embarrassment for Keir Starmer? It feels like it should chiefly be seen as an embarrassment for the United States.

Just reflexively oppositional, YOU NEGOTIATED THIS DEAL! If you'd not held the election when you did, Rishi would have signed it. YOU WERE IN THE FOREIGN OFFICE AT THE TIME.

This is (1) disgraceful at a moment of national danger, (2) laughably unserious and (3) deeply unwise when the President is obviously becoming incapacitated and the most unpopular person in the whole UK. Utterly disqualifying.

In the spirit of making @bsky.app a place where you genuinely go to source breaking news, I thought I would share this.

Not through any purient motivation of Schadenfreude.

There is is something very important to bear in mind when looking at Reform's drop in the polls in Wales.

Yes, their vote share has dropped...BUT... this doesn't mean that fewer people are supporting them...
