In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:

So take this in. Straight from the NATO meeting after Russia’s attack Britain’s primary military town, Salisbury, Boris Johnson flew unofficially to party in Umbria with a former KGB officer working for the Kremlin. Can anyone tell me how this has been forgotten? It is Profumo on stilts

Sought and found asylum in the UK

If you actually have to do work, AI often just makes more work because you have to spend so much time making sure it didn't lie to you again.

Not coincidentally this is a pretty good list of Most Important Companies to Unionize.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

From what work I did with intelligence people, it goes like this; they work hard to turn an influencer. Then they ask about people that this person knows might be sympathetic. Then they turn those people. UKIP/the Brexit Party/Reform will be riddled. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I cannot even begin to express my rage at this lie reading this through me back into my pandemic EMT life, attempting to resuscitate a child experiencing a cardiac arrest secondary to COVID while a father says “we heard that the vaccine was riskier than COVID for kids” and a mother wails in agony

Will Britain’s exceptionalism wreck the reset? In a world of rising protectionism, Britain is in danger of being left outside all of the big trade blocks @sussexbylines.co.uk

Poor bloody Venezuelans

Oi you, person of Christian values… “When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself” Leviticus 19:33–34 Still feeling holy?

Another outcome for which the Kremlin worked, lest we forget. Described in "Road to Unfreedom."

Like if Ukraine push Russia back across the border Putin would say "Okay, it's enough. I will admit defeat and sign a peace treaty. Then I will stand in front of my people like the biggest loser since Tsar Nikolai II. That will be my legacy. No problem".

Ahead of launching a war on Venezuela, the US would like to announce that no one in Venezuela should help US forces, it'd be stupid to do so, the US will denigrate you and screw you over no matter how much you help, and blame you if even one Venezuelan who also helped the US ever does something bad.

The Trump administration effectively says that no one should ever work with Americans during wartime; that our promises mean nothing, our word is dust, and we will throw our allies under the bus the moment we want. In any future armed conflict, who would ever trust us again?

Politicians - especially of the right - like to say how they would curtail benefits to balance the books. This is what it's like to be on the receiving end of that rhetoric. Worth reading to the very end

There can only be one reason any party leader doesn’t endorse and - if it’s within their power - instigate a full investigation into Russian interference

The trump regime is at the stage where it is happier for you to talk about its treason as it stops you talking about its pedophillia.

Trump envoy Steve Witkoff has been outed as a Russian asset. This is traitorous stuff.

This would explain a very great deal

Every day now, it becomes apparent that Gibb was shovelled into the BBC by Johnson to hasten its destruction from within. Gibb has switched his allegiance from the failed Tories to Farage and his Reform "company" with ease. Are Labour and Lisa Nandy simply blind to what is unfolding?

“The Kremlin’s greatest strategic victory of the last decade wasn’t a tidal wave of drones hitting Ukraine, or a tank column in Donbas. It’s their power to hack social media” 🎯 ⁦‪@TheRickWilson‬⁩ www.againstallenemies.net/p/maga-is-a-...

Ukraine relations get even more chaotic. Two factions - Kushner/Witkoff and Vance/Driscoll - are both freelancing to set US policy: cutting out the State Dept, pushing Ukraine to surrender, then leaking to press to claim they are official. Why? Putin is desperate and has called in his assets. A 🧵 1/

At least one insurrectionist goes to jail www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/w...

In 2025 alone, courts struck down multiple Trump orders involving troop deployments, from Los Angeles to Portland to Washington DC, ruling he exceeded his authority each time. Those are all illegal orders to the military.

Reflexive Control: The Strategic Weaponization of Fixation The Russian military concept of reflexive control—developed during the Cold War and deployed through modern hybrid warfare—offers a strategic analogue to Dielenberg’s cognitive model.

This should have been an instructive moment in people’s understanding of just how much people are willing to pay economically for racism and xenophobia.

Ahem

"Russia is an undefeatable juggernaut against which Ukraine could never hope to score victories. That's why it's imperative we limit Ukraine's military size so as to give Russia confidence Ukraine won't attack it." Do these people fucking hear themselves?

Mahmood would rather soothe the racists than do the “hard work of confronting the economic failure… and cowardice that has enabled the rise of the far right.” As if making life even worse for immigrants will make our country happier and better off. It won’t. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Morning all. Be careful what you wish for

Okay, fairly obvious, but, despite delusions of some, the UK is not a "main destination" for migration. It's actually a competitive market, jobs, students etc. Between Mahmood's, effectively xenophobic policies, and Reeve's budget targeting international students, the economy as a whole gets screwed

Treat group chats like everything you say in them is "public". Treat members of group chats like they're all FBI agents. Signal cannot protect you from yourself, or other people. People are always the weakest link.

As many of you know, I do a lot of volunteer work with asylum seekers and refugees. One thing that’s going on is that Labour’s hostility towards migrants and the counterbattery from Tories and Reform is causing horrific fear and anxiety among vulnerable people who deserve our protection.

What I’ve been trying to point out for years now is that there is a money maker behind this sentiment, invested in it staying set this way. You can’t have billion dollar industry forcing autistic children to mask without scaring everyone about autism first

I guess the challenge here is that while this might be personally lucrative for MAGASuperFan1488 from Uganda (which fine I guess, go get that bread Grifter King), the West descending into technofascism is not going to be good for ANYONE. Those deaths because of USAID cuts weren't in Kansas.

Dear UK: You don’t pay enough taxes to have an NHS that doesn’t run on immigration and immigrant labour. Sorry to be brutally honest but it’s how it is

"We grant people different rights based on their genetic heritage and on which scrap of land they happened to be born on. That’s mad, isn’t it?" I just think, when debating immigration and so on, that we should try not to lose sight of the fact that "nationality" is a made up thing.

Tusk slips the knife in right at the end.

This pretty much sums up my attitude to exercise

Sorry to keep banging on about it but it's literally *they are on Twitter and think it's the majority view*

Overseas-trained doctors leaving the UK in record numbers. Direct result of racism and insecurity unleashed by major political parties. Not enough home trained doctors. Takes years and high debt to become a doctor. A healthcare crisis in the making.

10 years! Good. Farage next. news.sky.com/story/former...

Lewes is a lovely but very peculiar place

Gill’s sentence sets a clear legal benchmark – leaving the way clear for Parliament to finally hold a much-needed inquiry into Kremlin meddling in domestic affairs… This inquiry cannot help but look at events surrounding the EU Referendum bylinetimes.com/2025/11/21/n...

English-speaking countries dismiss the French military at their peril. When they go hard, they go HARD
