Hegseth's advocacy of war crimes is now such a frequent occurrence it draws scant attention. Thank goodness for Brian Finucane... bsky.app/profile/bcfi...
When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.
But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.
A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.
Tice says Britain should join the bombing.
Jenrick says Britain shouldn't join the bombing.
Farage has gone silent for the past 72hrs.
This mob couldn't run a bath let alone a country.
It's astonishing - remember a documentary about it that is out on You-Tube about the Power of Oratory that encapsulates it really well (though unfortunately it had contributions from Boris Johnson in it but still a good piece).
rating MPs based on how long they spend on a global far-right propaganda machine, which allowed paedophiles and perverts to create naked images of kids and women, is a sure-fire way to nurture a front bench of utter weirdos and dangers
A sickening society is clear in these statistics
So why is it not in the news?
Powerful wake-up call from @chakrabortty.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
No factual errors. No obvious bias. But when coverage focuses overwhelmingly on one political actor – and mostly in negative terms – the narrative effect can still skew perception.
That matters especially for the BBC. Stephen McNair reports

Again, Farage, Badenoch and their fellow travellers on X are wildly out of touch with the public on Iran.
Even the majority of Reform supporters oppose their position.
I had no idea until this all started that the UAE licences and pays many influencers to live there and write positively about the regime.
That puts a whole new spin on things.
Propagandists in pocket of regime.
It's why all the messaging is the same.

Big money has bought British politics
75% of Reform’s money has come from three rich white men

Beautiful from Private Eye on the massive toddler-tantrum that Matt Goodwin and Reform are having, because they got whooped in Gorton and Denton.
"The most effective consumer boycotts in history share two qualities: they are narrow and they are easy," writes @rutgerbregman.com
If I was @zackpolanski.bsky.social, I would be pointing out to the BBC that whatever model they use to justify giving Farage & his boot-lickers season tickets for every BBC show under the sun must surely now treat Green Party politicians in exactly the same way. Might even be one for the lawyers...
No - you have watched Boulter before and unfortunately she has a tendency to fold when facing the expectation she should win, especially when a higher seeded player against a non-seed or qualifier.
Basically in Diary of Anne Frank territory - US voters who chose this should be ashamed of themselves.
If it’s true Reform UK’s Treasury spokesperson Robert Jenrick told a business audience last night that renewable companies are "screwed" if Reform get in, it tells you everything about their readiness to inflict national self-harm in pursuit of ideological war on climate action.
"We called London a war zone and moved to Dubai by mistake"
No chance Charles, Camilla, William or Catherine could ever have or will ever show such spontaneous empathy. But something Diana consistently did and Harry and Meghan show signs of following in her footsteps.
And simultaneous reduction in size of pack - it's obscene.
It pleases me - he took the best option available to him. Politics is full of scenarios where need to take least worst options and he has navigated this well.
Telegraph is forced - finally - to publish a proper apology for simply inventing a story.
Of course they continue to do this about immigrants/immigration pretty much every single day...

Reform down to 23% also noteworthy.
🔴Nigel Farage’s Long History of Crying ‘Fraud’ Whenever His Party Loses Elections
The Reform UK leader has a long record of blaming his own party’s election defeats on “cheating” by ethnic minorities, yet no evidence of it can ever be found, reports @josiahmortimer.bsky.social
Every time Nigel Farage's parties have lost an election he has blamed it on "cheating" by ethnic minorities and every time he receives huge amounts of media attention for doing so.
The only problem? No evidence of cheating is ever found

Jesus. F*cking. Christ.
Nigel Farage lied multiple times at his press conference today - including saying no-one who voted Green in Gorton and Denton has a job and he's "certain" Reform won most British born voters in the by-election, based on zero evidence, and yet not a single journalist there pushed back on them
He's walking yet another tightrope and would get painted as the PM that failed to protect UK citizens and overseas military bases in the region ig he took no action. He's basically indicated the initial invasion was illegal and overall his position should be supported (as long as sticks to defence).
Unfortunately, he's actually right, and he would of course know one when he sees one.
@maitlis.bsky.social - please go and look up the meaning of transparency. Lewis is right - for as long as people keep defending the secret and corrupt Royal institution the UK will continue to decline.
EXCLUSIVE - Matthew Goodwin's by-election diary
"YEEESSS! I’ve got the Reform nomination for the Gorton and Denton by-election. Alan Rusbridger, David Aaronovitch, Craig Amos from year nine PE, your boys took one hell of a beating."
