Russia loves Trump’s message on Greenland, as Putin has openly said. It is worth asking whether this was a Russian idea. It certainly divides and could destroy NATO, and it distracts from Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine.

This week on the @ohbrothershow we were delighted to welcome producer and On‑U Sound founder Adrian Sherwood. Adrian talks us through first meeting Mark E. Smith, working with The Fall on Slates and Extricate, and the studio tricks (and “anti‑production” ethos) that shaped those records. (+)

The PM refers to an experiment in "open borders" by a Govt. that LEFT THE EU. It can only mean "there are still too many black and brown people in this country, we need to get rid of them". And the best person to do that is Nigel Farage. PM might as well run a "don't vote me" campaign.
Starmer keeps using this line, & it's bonkers.
Most importantly, it's untrue: the party that ended Free Movement, ran the "hostile environment" & made Suella Braverman Home Sec did not run "an experiment in open borders".
It's also politically mad. Voters who believe this will not vote for Starmer

!["And this is what Keir Starmer’s press secretary has said about Robert Jenrick at the lobby briefing this morning.
[Highlighted] Robert Jenrick was the immigration minister in a government that presided over an open borders experiment [Highlighted], a health minister who left people stuck on waiting lists, and a Treasury minister during the worst decline in living standards on record.”
While Reform continues to welcome failed Tory retreads, this Labor government is putting the country back on track."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cixgmtrg7nzy4gkmyfeosaox/bafkreibe3jczrmbmzfnhj2adl4qe432lbpmcbn6m6qrentwih7vxj4fu7y@jpeg)

If you believe this language is cost free, think again. This is the standard Brexit retreat position, blaming Europe for the outcomes of Brexit and the UK's choice.
That's what Farage wants.
It doesn't have to be that way.

Brexit failed, and Farage was one of its key architects.
"In a sane world, Farage would not be able to show his face in parliament or in a TV studio without being reminded of two things. His adult life was devoted to a cause that his compatriots now regard as a mistake."

Great news. And not v surprised. The Welsh won’t go with a fake Englishman. They know what there is not to like.
Plaid Cymru and the Greens are surging in Wales, according to this latest poll.
Where’s the media narrative around this? Where are the stories saying Farage is failing? When will Labour try to regain ground by appealing to Plaid & Green voters, not just copy Reform?

I think part of the Bluesky fascism debate comes from people who want to express solidarity with those targeted by ICE by saying "we're all living under the jackboot now" and catastrophizing an already bad situation so that they can satisfy an envious wish to be in the center of a great storm.
Said the white guy in the comfort of his owned home. Not saying we are there yet but we are much further along than people like yourself think.If you are a poor brown person, especially without permanent residency, you might feel differently.Give #Trump 3 more years & fully fund #ICE & get back 2 me
