What infuriates me is that a) anyone who looked into Harborne knew this but only a big media house like Times can risk saying it b) UK govt won't investigate. They never do c) Our party funding system is wide open for this stuff d) There are loads of other ?s about Harborne that remain unanswered

Spent years building up a big following on Twitter, essential for publicising my aviation blog, which I live from. Desperate to leave it & publicise on nicer platforms, but I have too few follows. If you want to help me escape, do give this a share. Much obliged. My blog here: hushkit.substack.com

So we have the Home Secretary's statement on changes to immigration and asylum, and, despite the attempt to spin it otherwise, they are some of the most regressive measures we have seen. 1/ www.gov.uk/government/n...

Somehow the next President must seize this money. And also deal with the entire Trump network

OK the Dollar value is dumb and fake but like yes actually many people suffer complications that can be minimised due to brisk exercise. Hence another reason why 15 min cities are so great

I've been beating on this drum for 15 years but Bush V Gore is a absolutely the harbinger for where we are.

This is not a good idea. Shipbuilding needs long term stability and this is not it. The UK has had export success in this area recently and this will undermine investor confidence. The UK existing fleet is aging out. It will need replacing, the UK still need that class of vessel.

Again, Mahmood is by far the worst member of this government, and probably the worst Labour MP in quite some time...

Ukraines drone campaign in recent weeks has been a stunning success

Why is it so good...

Pot kettle black

If the Labour party was a caring and progressive party it would toss out Mahmood and literally all her supporters.

and this isn't just some random evil racist congressman. he's the majority whip, the third most powerful member of the house! this *is* the party.

This is paranoia and should be a red flag in licensing

Rubios response should be the tagline for the whole Trump regime.

A fifth of Leave voters have died.

🧵1/ In our new paper, @chrischirp.bsky.social & I argue that while institutions can resist authoritarian pressure, some enable it. Looking at the current US regime, we examine why universities, law firms, and corporations often chose accommodation over resistance.

Apparently we're all just coordinating the end of Freedom of Navigation. And everyone seems to be fine with this??

My boss told me the UK keeps eating its PMs so I asked him how many PMs the UK has eaten and he says he just goes to Makerfield and gets a new PM afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding PMs to the UK and a SpAd started crying

The attacks in Edinburgh, in which an armed bare-chested white man terrorised Muslims, leaving five people injured, don't feature on a single newspaper front page this morning. Two tier journalism

You could have zero new immigrants and there would still be enough content, AI-generated or otherwise, to generate racist outrage. The far right knows this. When will the centrists learn?

There have been a spate of religious or race based attacks in the UK now against minorities and still both newspapers and Labour continue to think it's appropriate to crank the anti immigrant dial further. It's beyond ridiculous now. And Burnham appears to be treading the same path. Why?

My brother in Christ, wtf are you talking about. No ships will be sailing after Irans statement.

Fucking stop leaving really important news for book deals you useless cunts

Well that's the UK right put in their place, long live the special relationship, did you ever really exist...

All signs are there that Burnham will not change anything significant. Shabana Mahmood should be sacked, and the earned settlement reform scrapped, on day one by any new Labour PM worth anything.

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

I wish this Trump had had a conversation with that Trump before launching INDOPACOMs arsenal at Iran for literally no gain.

This will go down extremely well in Israel... I can see the wise Sage Ben Gvir nodding along already

Yeah to all the diehard Clinton fans, she's also got the same problematic foreign policy that the Democrats have sucheree from for decades

The two worst people you know are fighting 😊

I can't even make a joke here bc this is just objectively funnier than anything I could say

When Trump went to war with Iran, I watched every speech anyone in the administration gave and made a chart of every reason given for going to war "Eliminate ballistic capability" was the #1 reason given: more even than preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon

I'm not even an Iran hawk and I'm going to need to be put on suicide watch at this rate jfc

You probably should advertise this as you're also explaining how you're going to have to give Iran it's money back

His own cabinet must be on suicide watch

>renames it to the Department of War >names himself the Secretary of War >fights one war >loses

100% Iran called him a stupid son of a bitch

He looks like death

Being on Bluesky is in itself a form of age verification.

Important piece from @clintsmithiii.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

This shouldn't have been saved for a book by two 'top' reporters. Others also reported on it at the time and it should've been headline plus a long paper exposé and not a book deal.

The fact that neither Telegram nor Discord is on this list is absolutely *wild*. Driving teens from YouTube to those two: clearly a great and well thought out policy.

Journalists have a duty to tell the public that the president and his aides are seriously considering suspending habeas corpus *when it is happening* rather than saving it for a book rollout over a year later
