Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter, once Bill and Ted, reunite on Broadway in Beckett’s "Waiting for Godot." They tell Tracy Smith about their enduring friendship, Winter’s break from fame, and the risks Reeves sees in live theater.

The votes are there for an #EpsteinFiles floor vote. That's why Trump suddenly wants a government shutdown.

There seems to be some *confusion* among Reform supporters over Nathan Gill being one of them “But, but, Reform didn’t exist when he took his Russian bribes” “But, but he was in UKIP” “But, but it has nothing to do with Farage, he barely knew the guy” So here’s a little history lesson 👍🏼🧵 1/14

Remember when Liam Halligan was Jon Snow's Economics Correspondent on Channel 4 News? A serious guy. Now just another tit.

Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett refused to say if President Donald Trump has "the right to do anything" as president of the United States.

The flipside of the AfD at 30-35 in East Germany and at 25 across Germany is that anywhere between 65-75% of everyone else opposes them, often fiercely

@carolvorders.bsky.social Germany AfD heartland

AfD loses. Badly, and in the first round. It’s just a mayoral election, but Meißen is the heart of Saxony and as the thread points out, AfD invested a lot in this race.

@reformuk.bsky.social Something better to do? Or was it just to create a culture of fear and division.

Something is being completely missed in the Graham Linehan / broader UK ‘free speech’ row – and it’s that much of this is a direct consequence of Elon Musk no longer doing anything like what’s required to moderate X in line with UK and European law. 🧵

"We should act like he's not joking... they're gonna try and manufacture some sort of a crisis." @keithellison.bsky.social, one of the only US politicians to predict a Trump win in 2015, agrees that Trump wants to stay in office beyond 2028, as a "dictator." Full intv: zeteo.com/p/keith-elli...

The Brexit they voted for actually quadrupled legal migration from circa 250k per year to over a million each year in 2025. The Brexit they voted for also caused small boat crossings to skyrocket - from practically ZERO in 2015 - to 50,000 a year in 2025…

#BBCQT is a Conservative, and Far Right propaganda platform... It has been even going as far back as 2010

Is the BBC Reform UK's mouthpiece? Yup. "Researchers at Cardiff University have produced a detailed analysis of every episode of the BBC’s flagship Question Time programme broadcast between September 2014 and July 2023 to see if the broadcaster was balancing political viewpoints."

3) Bylines’ recent articles on David Orr/Thiel & Cambridge Uni ( TheOxCamArc in UkFreeportHell) and Nigel Biggar/Niall Fergusson put the tin - hat on a rolling slide by Labour that had included adopting #CoreToryPolicy on Freeports/ minus a whimper by ‘LabourLuvvies’ while Labour cosied up to Trump.

I gave up defending any branch of #UkLabour ( Blair Corbyn Starmer) once the chunks of FreeportHell started to reveal Labour’s involvement; from OtterPorts/Thames FreePort to DevolvedAuthorities ( that was always revealing ; from the Get-Go: ) LabourTogether, Labour& SQW, Uk2070Commission + 1)

Meanwhile, we’ve been building this ‘system of control and surveillance’ for a decade. The Immigration Act 2014. The Investigatory Powers Act 2016. The Online Safety Act 2023. Building it brick by brick, and ignoring those of us who warned about what was going on.

From article: UkLabour/Starmer& Thiel/ AI Contract Coventry Council. ( the top down - bottom up element: City Councils & Universities were roped in by the LEP Networks in the early years of UkFreeportHell & SEZ’s under both Labour & Tory Govts, since ) Councils & Freeports- it’s designed that way.
