Only 5% think Brexit has worked. Two-thirds of Gen Z want a rejoin referendum. The Brexit settlement is dying in real time - and the only party honest enough to say so is the Liberal Democrats.
Closer to Europe. Stronger at home. It really isn’t complicated.
Hilarious to be lectured on courage by the bonespurs guy...
Reform Councillors don’t stay around long do they?

Following politics has been a bit depressing in recent years, but I guess we learn more from mistakes than success. Hopefully we can learn something that strengthens democracy going forward...
Philosophy #FAQ Ontology: what the fuck? Causality: why the fuck? Epistemology: how the why the fuck? Phenomenology: the fuck.
Ok, so Trump is an absolute arse. But isn't he being supported by Republican politicians, and 77m voters? The rot goes much further than one man. Is it worth trying to boycott American goods where possible?
It’s time we started taking Trump’s threats seriously.
God forbid if Greenland is attacked, the UK should immediately sanction the Trump Organization and think twice about whether we want US forces on our soil at all.
AOC: “I understand that VP Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, & I do not — That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance & I — I do not believe the American people should be assassinated in the street”
Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.
Our voting system is broken.
It's time for a change that truly reflects what voters want.
I've been trying to frame it as the US government is hostile, and perhaps not even all of it. But I agree we should stop kidding ourselves, even with a change in President it'd be foolish to think things will go back to how they were.

Will the person in the role get free books?
I think this hasn't changed for 500 years. Business case is just more territory = more money. Legal case is whatever the Tsar decides is law.
Whenever Trump or Putin announce another batshit pro-Russia "peace" deal, the UK and/or EU should just announce another tranche of military aid for Ukraine. I see your bullshit and I raise you some reality.
Been reading the recent debate on diversity quotas in libdem internal elections. Gender critical activists looking like exemplars of the Dunning-Kruger effect. Thought we were better than that...
Clear out toys now!
Love being reminded to do this every year. It's a win/win all round
Many of the propagandists of Autocracy, Inc., have learned from the mistakes of the twentieth century. They don’t offer their fellow citizens a vision of utopia, and they don’t inspire them to build a better world. Instead, they teach people to be cynical and passive, because there is no better world to build. Their goal is to persuade people to mind their own business, stay out of politics, and never hope for a democratic alternative: Our state may be corrupt, but everyone else is corrupt too. You may not like our leader, but the others are worse. You may not like our society, but at least we are strong and the democratic world is weak, degenerate, divided, dying.
This is from Autocracy, Inc, about how modern autocratic propaganda works.
I consider this every time I decide what to share and how to frame it.
You're right, I've always had a tendency to being concise. Better now?
Have left the platform formerly known as Twitter. Elon Musk is annoying...
