Kemi giving a truly abysmal performance on Today, deeply out of her depth, insisting she's opposed to escalation whilst arguing for escalation, unable to actually articulate what she thinks should happen next. Just reflexively oppositional.

It's blatantly fascist language.

"would otherwise receive immediate access to welfare and social housing" is BS.

Correct: "after 5 years working in a care home, would be eligible to apply for welfare and social housing on the same basis as the rest of us."

"Churchill was well aware that wars and interventions could produce unintended consequences. Reflecting on his experiences as a young officer during the Boer war, he later wrote that once the signal for conflict was given, statesmen lost control of events. War became subject to “malignant Fortune, ugly surprises, awful miscalculations”. This was not the sentiment of a pacifist. But it was the observation of someone who had seen how quickly political decisions could unleash forces that no government could fully control."

"Churchill observed that war, once unleashed, rarely follows the tidy paths imagined by those who start it. That warning may be as relevant as any of his more famous phrases."

Good piece by @richardtoye.bsky.social on Churchill analogies and Trump's war on Iran.

Birds are changing — and Indigenous memory is the longest record we have Conservation has long depended on measurement. Populations are counted, habitats mapped, trends plotted against baselines that often extend back only a few decades. Yet many ecosystems began changing…
