I know enough Cornish folklore to know the Knockers are going to be pissed.

I wanted to know the backstory of the executive order that defined "man" and "woman"—the foundation for the Trump admin's targeting of trans people. So I took a deep dive into the conservative strategy & distorted feminism behind it. And I talked to the author. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

(Reform have also lost five of its 28 Cornish councillors to infighting, which may also be a preview of what could happen if they do end up with a lot of MPs in 2029).

This basically happened last year in Cornwall, where Reform won the most seats but fell short of a majority, meaning that the second place Lib Dems entered into a coalition with independents to take control of the council. It could well be that in 2029, as Truro goes, so goes the nation.

This is the kind of Capitalist conspiracy most Marxists would've salivated over, except it's genuinely real and even worse than they imagined.

So weird that someone who says he hates democracy so much would be celebrating the UK leaving something which we were told was bad for democracy. It’s almost as if we were played.

If you know me personally, you know I've spent a long time researching and writing this. It's in many ways a Party piece and equally a love letter to the Prime Minister I love. It's long, but hopefully not too waffle-y, and I hope you enjoy it. newmodelliberal.blogspot.com/2026/02/the-...

10 years after he went to jail for procuring a child for prostitution.

Ok, but these could all be good bits if done right.

I feel very bad for the Left bloc in the Gorton & Denton by-election, you've been given three excellent candidates and you can't pick them all!

NEW: Our investigation for @thenerve_news reveals not only that Peter Thiel’s Palantir is completely enmeshed in our critical national infrastructure. It’s also the ‘cloud support’ for our nuclear weapons system 🤯 1/ www.thenerve.news/p/palantir-t...

And here is Huddersfield's prime minister, striding out from the station on a cold but sunny day.

Obama has made his principles clear: podcasts are critical. Never let your patreon subscriptions lapse.

The deciding factor over whether a leftist or a liberal fights or flees from fascism is how willing they personally are to stand by their convictions and fight for them, not some abstract pissing contest over who read the better theory in their undergrad poli-sci courses

Macron is really on a streak of owning the broligarchs recently.

It's literally the Nazi Pub Parable, from the POV of the Nazi.

Very excited to have written an article for the latest Liberator! (#433) It's all about Land Value Taxation in the German Colony of Tsingtao and a potential solution to the housing crisis. liberatormagazine.org.uk/recent-issues/

I can’t believe Donald Trump can’t spell “bored”

At least I understand YourParty’s position: disarm and capitulate to Putin. It’s a disgrace but it’s simple. Polanski seems to be trying to build middle ground between that position and wanting to retain European independence from the hegemonic super powers. Dare I say it’s all very centrist of him.

Brianna Ghey was targeted by classmates who knew her offline. Online, she made friends and a community, and was making content to help other trans kids like her. This is a grieving mother pushing for legislation that would have further isolated her trans child, that is supported by transphobes.

Channel 4 privatises itself in shock move.

Was writing a little bit on Wilson in the 1945 General Election Campaign and got side-tracked with the posters. Frankly it's almost hilarious to see how on-point Labour's messaging in comparison to the other Parties at the time.

I’ll never get tired of this ad at our local indie theater 😂

I think the White House badly underestimates the strength of the pan-European folk memory of 1930s appeasement, and how deep it still cuts. I suppose this is what happens when you learn in school that WW2 started in 1941 in Hawaii.

Rest well, king.

These so-called "patriotic" 🇬🇧newspapers who brought you Brexit were never really patriotic at all. They are driven by a disdain for Britain's European neighbours, and a fawning obsession with America. They do not really want 🇬🇧 to be sovereign. They're content being a 🇺🇸vassal.

I’m old enough to remember when many of the voices saying very little tonight told us very loudly that Obama and Biden were anti-British.

Stephen Miller is gonna blow his top when he learns about Liechenstein.

Since when has Tony Blair and peace in the Middle East gone well together?

They need to stop proving me right.

the indignity of being outmanoeuvred by Kemi Badenoch lmao

We have an update on Charlie’s newfound love of printing.

The best part is there was always time for it too.

How today's defection got me feeling.

This gives the vibe from the pre-TERF era Rowling where she used to write things like "Well, Dumbledore wouldn't vote for Corbyn." It was iconic, she should go back to it, I think it'd be better for everyone's mental health.

I BEG every smug commentator who praised Mahmood for doing the “tough but necessary thing” to read this. All the disadvantages of plummeting immigration for the economy & public services, for NO POLITICAL GAIN. Labour in DESPERATE need of a 180 change of course on immigration

You say this like it's a joke, but White Nationalists quite literally went with the most obviously racist option of "White Pride" so I could see any of these happening.

We go live to the Protect our girls crew, unsure what they are doing

On @lbc.co.uk earlier to discuss the recent news that a Cambridge college is doing outreach to private schools to improve the "quality" of students. I think it's an outdated understanding of student ability (not supported by evidence) and a waste of resource they should spent on access efforts.

I get only the most artsy 2 view videos in my recommended. www.youtube.com/watch?v=neaq...

There's nothing I respect more than a person giving out good fonts for free.

David Cameron’s model for universities requires that some go bust, and we’re finally getting to that stage now. Unless Labour change the model, which they don’t seem willing to.

Hello all you lovely @libdemwomen.bsky.social members- I’m up for ordinary member and terfs are trying to undo the phenomenal work by previous exec Please vote - any candidates you’re unaware of in relation to their standing on trans rights and gender marginalised folks do reach out

The Prime Minister faces down the Great Depression. (My mood.)

We had a good run

Came up in conversation today that though the League of Nations was an imperialistic tool, it did have far larger teeth than the UN has to enforce it's resolutions.

"What was your favourite game of 2025?" Keir Starmer - *sincere answer about spending his limited time with his kids playing Mario Kart, delivered as if he just googled it* Ed Davey - "I still love a bit of Wii Sports" Kemi Badenoch - "My best friend was killed by a Sega Mega Drive"

"John Curtice told Tories that the Lib Dems would ‘almost undoubtedly’ win more seats than them at the next election. If any party is going to be killed in the near future it is the Conservatives, though the verdict will probably be suicide." thelionandunicorn.com/2025/12/29/1...

If polling trends continue we'll be on course for the regularly scheduled Conservative Government by the end of 2029. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
