Sheesh the full-res version of Trump's Board of Peace logo somehow looks even worse.
Mixing a clip-art wreath with a pseudo-realistic, geo-textured map is a graphic design atrocity.
Big Microsoft Paint energy.

Charging $1 billion to join a committee with a recycled AI slop logo is phenomenally on brand for Trump.

Trump’s Board of Peace logo is basically the UN logo, except dipped in gold and edited so the world only includes America.

These so-called "patriotic" 🇬🇧newspapers who brought you Brexit were never really patriotic at all.
They are driven by a disdain for Britain's European neighbours, and a fawning obsession with America.
They do not really want 🇬🇧 to be sovereign. They're content being a 🇺🇸vassal.

I think the White House badly underestimates the strength of the pan-European folk memory of 1930s appeasement, and how deep it still cuts. I suppose this is what happens when you learn in school that WW2 started in 1941 in Hawaii.

Week by week - Laura Kuenssberg is interviewing the party leaders.
When I agreed to come on the show, I was told Nigel Farage was also doing it.
He's now pulled out - and they've sent the deputy instead.
The same Nigel Farage who's refusing to debate me.

Who funds the Free Speech Union?
Toby Young’s outfit went to court to hide its donors. Today we reveal that funders include US anti-abortion groups, Brexit politicians and Tufton Street insiders.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

Really not sure why Labour doesn't understand that when it comes to immigration and asylum, however many offerings it lays on the altar of Nigel Farage, the Reform gods will not be satisfied. Why squander its credibility and shred its values in chasing a far right populist party it will never catch?

It's clear that EU SM+CU is essential to get growth started.
If Labour ignores this, the deepening recession and increasing tax burden will make everyone noticeably poorer, a fact that Farage will ruthlessly exploit.
Please get Labour to wake up before it's too late!
