A leading American political strategy firm that boasted of helping elect President Donald Trump has been hired by Reform UK to advise its candidates ahead of the Senedd election ✍️ @emilypricejourno.bsky.social

Don’t know about the book but the premise is spot on.

I really, with a fiery passion, despise awards that want you to beg people for votes to increase their own publicity but, if you’re going to respond to them, these women are genuinely worthy of the widest possible acknowledgement - and don’t forget to sign their letter too!

What good would it have done if the civil servants hadn't "hidden" the vetting failure? Would the outcome differ?

Phillipson appointed Mary-Ann Stephenson as EHRC chair *despite* not one but two select committes warning her not to!

This government installs all the wrong people because it wants to.

The revision of the English National History Curriculum under Gove required that children were taught chronologically. Which is why prehistory is taught in KS1, with the least capacity to understand the way that story is constructed & why students come to uni focused on modern history.>

Capitalists are already building the infrastructure to do this through DRM, so stop believing tech is apolitical - the defunding of libraries and paywalling of information are all part of this.

A reminder during #NationalLibraryWeek, libraries are our best and last defense against the fascist monopoly on knowledge and information

They can try. I’m not sure any of them speak Welsh, so there’s that for starters.

Articles about Jared Kushner's diplomatic role with Iran that mention Kushner has received billions from the Saudi government (2/28-4/19):

NYT: 5 of 58
WashPost: 1 of 43
WSJ: 0 of 40
AP: 0 of 26
CNN Wire: 0 of 18
NY Post: 0 of 17
Chicago Tribune: 0 of 4
LA Times: 0 of 4
Boston Globe: 0 of 2

The fact that Jared Kushner derives nearly all his income from the Saudi government while he purports to be negotiating issues of acute interest to the Saudi government allegedly on behalf of the US is simply swept under the rug by US mainstream media.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

WOW: A stunning new report in the WSJ reveals that military advisers intentionally excluded Donald Trump from the command room during the recent high-stakes operation to extract a downed U.S. airman in Iran, because they feared his erratic behavior could jeopardize the mission. 1/

Time to retire “gender critical views”. Recognition of material reality is not a quaint niche belief. Gender identity ideology on the other hand is delusional, toxic and incompatible with science, and should disqualify adherents from all responsible posts.

Gender Critical Commitment to Free Speech:

Here's prominent Gender Critical barrister Naomi Cunningham saying anyone who disagrees with her beliefs on sex should be disqualified "from all responsible posts".

Do you reckon they might just be using the "free speech" thing as a reactionary wedge?

I see Kellie Jay Keen was at a UKIP gathering the other day. UKIP who are anti LGBTQ, anti women’s rights (especially when it comes to bodily autonomy and abortion)… yet again a TERF/GC demonstrating they do not care about people/rigjts as long as they harm trans people.

The insider trading suspicions looming over Trump's presidency The BBC has found a pattern of spikes in trades ahead of public announcements by the US president.

You’ve seen this before but the BBC has put it all together.

Pretty shameful that the only really effective blow Mr Reform had to take was from the Tory, outlining the corruption and treachery of a number of his past and present candidates.

Watching the ITV Wales hustings and even if I didn’t dislike his politics, the Reform man is everything I abhor - rude, blustering, constantly talking over others, thinks the whole thing is about him. A foghorn in fancy trousers.

Dont you want this? Why are we not clamouring to rejoin the only sane(ish) force in a mad world?

Meet James Bembridge, the Reform candidate for Westminster in next month’s local elections.

As well as this tweet, Temu Lex Luthor here, has also been quoted as saying "Most NHS nurses look like they're eating food banks out of business."

Don’t let him get his deposit back.

It’s a mark of how completely normalised the corruption & depravity have become that we barely bat an eyelid at the thought of two *property developers*, one Trump’s nepo baby son-in-law, being sent to represent the USA in peace negotiations with Iran. Sometimes it all hits you afresh.

Not that secret - if someone was poised to photograph it it wasn’t exactly undercover.

The Palentir statement on its desired “Technological Republic” is one of the scariest things I have seen in a while. It is a call for a world dominated by an authoritarian U.S., generated by AI (both the statement and the world), run by tech-surveillance companies. Technofascism pure!

So Palantir are like Fascist fascists i see yeah maybe we shouldn’t integrate the nazi computer into the NHS

The perfect metaphor for lazy xenophobia cosplaying religion.

Please help me out by pretending the Chairman of Reform didn't just show that he doesn't know what local elections are and thinks we are in America.
