Cannon fodder for the first few weeks of war. Veterans can be recalled for service until they are 65 under new measures, due into force early 2027, legislation before Parliament. Then they will need our children & grandchildren. share.google/1jZGTzzd11yR...

The US has a 25th Amendment and an impeachment process but because cowardice is the defining characteristic of modern right wing politics, neither of these things will be exercised, even as this is the most glaring example of their being needed.

The Conservatives no longer dare to boast about having brought Brexit to fruition after the chaotic tenures of anti-EU prime ministers Boris Johnson and Liz Truss, and their failure to produce tangible benefits for UK citizens. ‼️Nigel Garbage ReFuk'd us with Brexit‼️ www.lemonde.fr/en/opinion/a...

The UK government introduced the Armed Forces Bill to Parliament on Thursday, January 15, 2026. This legislation includes the changes regarding veteran recall ages and reservist status. The maximum age at which a veteran can be recalled for service is being raised to 65. ‼️Russian war preparations⁉️

There's a whole Trump management option where you tell him that everything he wants is happening. You set up a Faux News studio that reports millions deported, Greenland and Canada changing hands, Ukraine occupied by Russia. He'd never need to find out what was really going on.

Tonight's turret meeting will be pretty awkward

Within the context of Martin Wolf’s article below, maybe we’d now be wise to consider the following (re CMA regulation of big tech): - Is control of public discourse a competition harm? - Can we acknowledge attention dominance as market power? - Is democracy itself a competition concern?

Last 72 hours show how government + regulatory intervention can bring unlawful practice within the law. But Making Twitter Lawful Again should not be a "pick and mix" buffet - let's make it act on racist hate crimes + insist on a legally compliant complaints system bsky.app/profile/sund...

X Safety have posted that they have now made some changes to operate within the law. This includes "geoblocking the ability of all users to generate images of real people in bikinis, underwear, and similar attire via the Grok account and in Grok in X in those jurisdictions where it’s illegal".

@neilgray.bsky.social @mairigougeon.bsky.social Why does it take 3 years to get to the front of the Eurology Consultant queue, only to have to wait 3 Months on the Surgery Queue to stop me having to get up three times in the middle of the night to go to the loo. I have already waited 1½ years /1

For real-time news and public sentiment, there is no equivalent to X currently, unless news and Govs leave the platform. By cutting off API access to rivals while giving Grok direct "firehose," The Felon is effectively creating an information monopoly. /1

It would appear that the Covid effect is gradually playing out, as did the 1918 flu pandemic. Only another 5 years to go😏 @davidjoffe64.bsky.social

How about the half billion Trump just put in a Qatar bank from the sale of Venezuelen oil? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Starmer doffing his cap to TACO again.😏

It couldn't happen to a better president. TACOs net approval rating -32.

Ah, I thought Trump was a 'freespeech' warrior 🤪

During PMQs today, Starmer reiterated that if X does not "get a grip" and implement a total ban on these "nudification" capabilities, the government will use Ofcom's powers to block the platform entirely in the UK.🤞👏👏👏👏

Im watching Farage squirm in parliament as everyone agrees that his support of CSAM is disgusting. #PMQs

Starmer says of Reform "its a Laundry service for disgraced politicians" 🤣 #PMQs

As usual RUSI @rusi.bsky.social hit the nails on their heads.

The economic crisis behind protests in Iran: From paying for cooking oil in installments to sleeping on rooftops

Well said Dan. In the face of fascism its all about Tactical Voting in my opinion. Vote for the candidate most likely to stop us getting ReFuk'd plus those con(artist)s like Jacob Reese Mog/Liz Truss. Moderate Tories Greives/Clarke are good given the alternative. open.substack.com/pub/dangoyal...

In view of the latest Tory defection to the Washed-up Tories Party, otherwise known as Reform Ltd. can we take bets on the next defection? ? Jacob Grease Smug, ? Bob Seeley ( my erstwhile awful MP)

The letter from Bill and Hillary Clinton to James Comer explaining their refusal to testify in his Epstein investigation is really remarkable, not like any letter of this genre I've seen. It's signed by them, not a lawyer, and the arguments are not legal ones. Reprinted from their X account:

Sharing, or threatening to share, a deepfake intimate image without consent is a criminal offence. This offence, created by the Data Act last year, will be brought into force this week, and I will make it a priority offence in the Online Safety Act too. www.gov.uk/government/s...

They refused to probe a murder. The people with consciences walked out. 🚨 NEW: At least four leaders of the DOJ Civil Rights Division resigned because the section's head, Harmeet Dhillon, decided not to investigate shooting of Renee Good.

ICE approaching a teenage girl and U.S. CITIZEN on her way to soccer practice and snooping around her car with giant guns is not making us safer.   All it does is terrorize our kids.

BREAKING: The FBI is investigating RENEE GOOD’S ties to activist groups instead of sharing evidence with Minnesota. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/u...

A thorough investigation is being conducted of the deceased victim while the killer was exonerated by Noem before her body was cold.

The best thing about Nadhim Zahawi coming back is that we'll get to hear Nick Abbot's hilarious array of clips/samples of him. Here's one such example that just captures how full of shite he is: www.youtube.com/watch?v=J66O...

I’d’ve thought that creating a tool (Grok) that strips children, women and men and desecrates victims of the holocaust or shootings …and then refusing to stop it would not bode well for his application in child custody applications

That fits. Abuser of power promoting authoritarian rule sheltered by another country whose Gov abuses power.and Supports authoritarian rule.
