“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”
“Because that’s what they are”

Vance used the word “firewall” yesterday. It was a clear signal. Here’s why Vance’s AfD meeting matters. Important that not only did he NOT meet with Germany’s actual leader, but the AfD leader came to Munich for one meeting only - w/Vance. vimeo.com/1056952652/f...

This CD player was my birthday present in 1997 along with the incomparable Fresh Hits 1997. I found it recently and COULD NOT BELIEVE how rich the sound was, after years of streaming Spotify on my phone. My column today is about this phenomenon, which I’m calling “qualitynesia” on.ft.com/3ZlwHf5

Journalists flock to Bluesky as X becomes increasingly 'toxic'
Journalists are finding more readers and less hate on Bluesky than on the platform they used to know as Twitter.
JOURNALISTS FLOCK TO BLUESKY
“We have posts exactly the same on Twitter & on Bluesky & Bluesky is getting 20 times the engagement or more than Twitter. Seeing a social media platform that doesn’t throttle links really makes it clear how badly we were being limited”

Preamble to Liberal Democrat constitution – Journal of Liberal History
I’ve seen a lot of Lib Dem MPs campaigning against the IHT changes to farms and don’t quite know how it fits with the preamble to their constitution:
“The Liberal Democrats …support the widest possible distribution of wealth”

There are very few far right accounts on BlueSky.
So if you block the likes of Nigel Farage, Tommy Robinson, Laurence Fox, GB News etc. as soon as they show up, they'll find it very hard to gain traction.
(They're counting on the network effect of YOUR outrage. Don't give them the satisfaction.)

I’m seeing more people from different political camps on here and other platforms now.
Which is great.
As I said to @zoecrowther.bsky.social, this shouldn’t be an echo chamber, we need to have good arguments, not foul ones. www.politicshome.com/news/article...
