@jim.londoncentric.media @jonnelledge.bsky.social reports from watchers say that Newham has made permanent the West Ham Park LTN, the one where the camera poles kept getting knocked down 🫡🫡🫡

@robhawkes.bsky.social I see your Viking curtailment monitoring app is showing Viking curtailment 😪🤣

There’s a certain cadre of left wing persons in this country who look at what’s going on and conclude it’s all Nick Clegg’s fault and everyone else is basically blameless

foundation.kse.ua/en/donation/... These guys seem pretty cool; send them a few squid if you can. We’ll ask ourselves what we did for Ukraine when this is all over…

The authors "estimate that by 2025, the Brexit process had reduced UK GDP per capita by 6 to 8 percent, investment by 12 to 18 percent, employment by 3 to 4 percent, and productivity by 3 to 4 percent. These effects grew gradually over time." www.nber.org/202602/diges... What a total disaster... 🇪🇺🇬🇧

A lot of the questions people are asking about my “I could have been a pedophile but I didn’t” tweet could have been answered by people reading my tweet. (Musk parody)

My Trade Secrets today, in which it's fair to say I go off on one. The Labour party is famously "a moral crusade or it is nothing". On aid, immigration and trade they're going for the latter option, with betrayals of principle both repugnant and pointless. 1/n

Some legitimately good news youtu.be/KX-o1BkYQpA?...

Trump has made the case for rejoining the EU impossible to ignore ✏️ @carolinelucas.bsky.social & Dominic Grieve ▶️ buff.ly/mQjdkAz

A block containing a collection of the most militaristic cultures ever to walk the earth with 5x the people and 10x the gdp can translate that into a decisive battlefield advantage for Ukraine with the one weird trick of trying a little bit.

Okay mate, you explain that to angry voters. They'll see your true colours.

Make John the king of Newham plz

All the NY FBI people who brought down Hillary sure did end up looking pretty stupid.

Terrific column by @duncanrobinson.bsky.social:

Just read Newsom's comments and couldn't be any more angry. The US inflicted this lunatic on us and he has the gall to say Europe looks "pathetic ... at least from an American perspective". It's like a man who willingly lives in a pigsty claiming that someone who trod in dog shit smells bad.

Pretty much encapsulates how pathetic Keir is on this

The Prime Minister of Belgium speaks:

@anderspucknielsen.dk Hi Anders I found this so insightful and a great explanation of Trumps behaviour. youtu.be/PwRsTDlqU8I?...

Trump continuing to be insane makes me think he didn’t read Janan Ganesh’s editorial in the FT last week

Ten years on: "For Britain, voting to leave will be a galvanising, liberating, empowering moment of patriotic renewal". Michael Gove.

The reason Farage has bailed on public appearances is probably because someone reminded him what happened to Lord Haw Haw the last time something like this happened.

It’s a real shame that Nigel Farage is too unwell to do interviews the morning after Donald Trump threatens us with sanctions. Here he is with “the bravest man he ever met”. He campaigned to make Trump President, and has spent the last year enjoying all the chaos he has caused.

2024: can Europe defend itself ALONGSIDE America? 2025: can Europe defend itself WITHOUT America? 2026: can Europe defend itself AGAINST America?

Run the Euros again, it’s more fun anyway

In December 2024 I was told by a very senior former member of the UK security/defence services that there was a zero percent chance the US would leave NATO in Trump’s second term. (He was also a mega-Brexiter). Hopefully others within those services are a little more astute.

I realise I'm just a freak, but living in a multicultural city is the best thing of all time, it's just the best possible human experience and i can not understand why anyone on earth would be like "weve got to destroy this"

Lot of people here (to celebrate the death of the high street?)

Starmer needs to finally stand up to Trump. He should visit Greenland and show the world that Britain stands with NATO and stands with our allies when it matters.

An underrated factor in "why don't people in wealthy societies have more kids" is changing societal norms that now expect even older kids to be chaperoned by an adult any time they are in public, and to be chauffeured by a parent as their only means of transportation

Starmer are you going to get us shown up by the French? Embarrassing

Uh, based?

Pathetic that we aren’t going also

Very interested in Janan Ganesh’s strategy of avoiding Reform UK winning the next election, which is to not try and just be sad.

@stephenkb.bsky.social I have an FT subscription through my new employer 😎

Working in Wimbledon today and tbh it’s full of new two and three story apartment blocks. I’m sorry South West London for dissing you and calling you nimby paradise, I wasn’t familiar with your game.

If Sadiq wants to be re elected he needs to sort out the ticketing on the Thameslink from Farringdon; I am a single issue voter

Nightmare blunt rotation

I bloody love trains and public transport.

A real mystery as to why many high streets, which have 30mph roads, narrow pavements and otherwise poor walking infrastructure (as well as rampant Nimbyism stopping even basic densification) are suffering.

Current state of Romford Road, a boundary road of multiple LTNs.

Whoever made this 🫡

Keir Starmer must come to Parliament today and make it clear that Britain stands with Denmark against Trump’s threats.

Lord preserve us from Labour hacks smugly pretending to be savvy operators of realpolitik when what they really are advocating for is cowardice and appeasement.

Yo what the fuck is this

WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize. “If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

now, it might seem odd that political commentators who advocated for the uk to leave the eu because of their belief in “the nation state” to be supportive of america’s annexation of venezuela, but what you have to remember is that those people didn’t actually think that, they were lying for money

Odds on Trump literally dying during this press conference? He looks extremely unwell.

Hey @eddavey.libdems.org.uk today is a good day to argue again for rejoining sir
