Alex, I think we all owe you a debt of gratitude for putting yourself through stuff like this. That 52 seconds of lunacy was more than enough for me.

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations

When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

So true, very well put Alex!

A million people marched against the illegal war in Iraq and they were right.

Now the same script is playing out again. Same lies, same institutions, same push for war.

We canโ€™t let history repeat itself.

Itโ€™s been a windy and rainy week in beautiful Abermaw (Barmouth) with the odd sunny day, but weโ€™ve been listening to an episode a day of @sturdyalex.bsky.socialโ€™s @alexpodyssey.bsky.social podcast with this view of the Mawddach estuary and Cadair Idris, and itโ€™s been wonderful

Hard agree. Putin is only interested in restoring Russian imperialism. Would fully expect further war/military action by Ru in a few years after a period of regrouping.

This feels like itโ€™s straight out of a Kremlin playbook: hijack Zelenskyy and use the falling out as a pretext for removing civil and military aid.
