The cost to every UK taxpayer of Trump’s billion law suit against the BBC? About £23 a head. Want to pay that into Trump’s personal account from yours?

This is what the right and Reform supporters are being fed with. It’s open racism. The subject, the detail, the language, the call
to action. This is what we are up against. Imagine that in your feed a hundred times a day. Horrifying.

@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social I really want to see this examined at depth. Farage and his cronies are at best too close to Russian influence. At worst, well…so why are you not allowing discussion?

I got issues with Polanski on defence and some economic stuff but he knows how to communicate. His big secret, in my view, is that he identifies a villain. The super rich, Farage. LibDems and Labour take note. Someone needs to be the focus of public anger. Polanski gets this.
Polanski expertly dismantling the "rich people will move if we tax them" narrative, while Denham nimbly demonstrates how very patriotic such people are.
Former Head of Comms for the IEA, Annabel Denham, says the super rich will leave if we have a wealth tax.
Yes, the very same IEA that brought us Liz Truss’ disastrous mini budget. 🤦🏽♂️
Green Party leader Zack Polanski explains that their taxable assets can’t leave. #bbcqt

A question for a lawyer @goodlawproject.org perhaps? We all know Mone will hide her money and delay in court. Is it technically still legal for Parliament to pass an Act of Attainder and just seize it all? Not recommending, just curious if it’s an option…

What’s bothering me about the Labour government is that the good stuff they do, and there is good stuff, doesn’t take pressure of my budget or visibly improve my life day to day. Example, lower power bills; better water quality; lower food prices. So here are my suggestions for policy priorities.

What links the garbage spouted by Trump on paracetamol to that vented by Farage on immigration RTR? Both are based not on fact, but on calculations of impact. We cannot have policy done this way. We can’t stop Trump, but we can stop his protege and imitator Farage. And we must.

I’m listening to a muezzin chant on a satellite TV in my regular Turkish barber shop in Falmouth. It’s beautiful, peaceful and diminishes my identity in no way at all. Diversity is great. (They also set fire to your ears here…)

Lot of focus on gun violence today. That’s a US problem. Let’s think about something else. Language. I am for free speech but we cannot pretend a constant stream of violent, hateful and dehumanising words has no impact. Rwanda. Bosnia. The Gulags. Germany.

The Epstein stuff feels like it might turn Trump to a liability for his party. Was it this Putin had on him? Whatever, when he falls he is going to create an almighty vacuum that in itself risks chaos. He will be desperate, reckless and have nothing to lose.

@mikegalsworthy.bsky.social @therestpolitics.bsky.social @georgemonbiot.bsky.social. In 2017 Thorn in the Side (7650770) had current assets of £157,604. In 2024 cash at bank was £1.7m. Nigel Farage sole director. He is richer. We are poorer. Get the message out.

I’ll say it. The government @uklabour.bsky.social are being spineless, craven bastards for not hammering the vile lies and savage cruelty in Reform’s Moseley inspired asylum policy. This is not who we are in Britain. @jaynekirkham.bsky.social get on and savage this callous policy.

Is Trump gonna sell out Ukraine? What should U.K. do if he does? Cancel F35s, order new tac nuke delivery platform. Join single market to boost growth and set up defence production pact with Canada, S Korea etc. Do all fast before US economic pressure forces us accept Putin as legit. Hope I’m wrong.

So, NHS strategy missing some opportunities. Big one, unreported, would be allowing research into MH drugs using cannabis, Ket and mushrooms. UK plc could be world leader, MH crisis addressed. Get on it UK gov.

A few years ago I read and enjoyed some Tom Clancy novels. The approach to foreign policy in the novels is pretty much the one used by Trump’s administration. It’s summed up by one word. Dominance. Break treaties, release US power. The thinking behind it is that US power has been held back.

Right wing populist governments across the world are causing utter chaos. Brexit. Mass immigration. Ukraine. Gaza. LA riots. Now Iran. Trump claims none of this would have happened if he was President in 2020. Fella, it happens because you and your ilk have been driving the agenda since 2011.

Worst case here is Trump uses this to implement some crazy authoritarian measures. Tariffs are central to his plan. This might spark a serious crisis inside the US and within economies outside.
