Matt doesn't think working class children should have small class sizes.

A move pretty certainly linked to the French-led efforts of an increased European nuclear deterrence www.politico.eu/article/finl...

Not the best guide but comments under Brillo's tweets are mostly critical (it's usually the opposite). The British Right are quite out of step with the public here. There's a section that's always dazzled by American power. Tony Blair suffered from this, it's demented.

On the one hand, a clearly deranged lunatic in the White House starting a dangerous illegal war on Iran with already-serious repercussions for the region and world... Or having a pop at Keir Starmer. You just knew which side the Right would come down on.

Andrew Tate's twatty video only starts making any sense when you use different music

Happy birthday Colin Bell, DFC, 105 today! Joining the RAF at just 19, Colin served as a #WW2 Mosquito bomber pilot on 50 raids over Nazi Germany. 1 in 3 were killed on these missions that helped force Nazi Germany’s surrender... 🧵½

I'm going to create an anonymous legal account so I can smugly jump into threads with "Lawyer here!" and then tell everyone why they are wrong and I am right.

Gender critical feminists like Josephine Bartosch get angry when people alter accepted definitions to suit their arguments so this is quite absurd. Banning things is curbing freedom. That's okay, sometimes it's necessary. Don't bullshit and pretend it's something else. unherd.com/newsroom/uk-...

Yep. My brother's politics are pretty similar to mine (to my fans here that means he's also a fascist) and he told me this week he is voting Green.

This appears to be true, if all too believably despicable.

Greens were far more fanatical on self-ID (which effectively brought down Sturgeon's government) than the SNP

I'm unable to reply hence the quote tweet, where is the evidence of this change?

On that subject, good piece here👇 foreignpolicy.com/2026/02/27/e...

This is extraordinary, a terrible development. I wonder how peer countries compare. As James says in his follow up tweet we mirror the US, I'm sure we're the worst cases. Decoupling from American Big Tech should be a clear policy goal.

"A fractured Iran embroiled in internal chaos would lose the energy or resources to meddle in the region — a goal more critical to Israel than a democratic or even peaceful transition." 👇

I *think* Kemi Badenoch is currently arguing for a first strike approach to nuclear war.

Is this why Hegseth doesn't want women serving? www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

This doesn't sound good, not least because the MP doesn't offer any defence of her husband and is only keen to stress how she has nothing to do with his affairs. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Oakeshott isn't in Dubai "as a journalist" or for journalistic reasons. By her own (and frankly slightly dubious) reasoning, she moved there because she didn't like paying VAT on her children's school fees.

Grant refused a direct presidential order, testified against the commander-in-chief before Congress, and ultimately complied with legislation over White House instructions. History vindicated him on every count.

I love how Ipsos show the margin of error on their charts. Should be industry standard!

I'll have to watch this. Credit where it's due Destiny's good at exposing bullshit merchants like Kisin who spend most of their time talking to fellow grifters on the Right.

Destiny vs Konstantin Kisin Was Brexit a Mistake? YESSIRNO!!!

There simply isn't this imagined built in progressive majority. If we have PR we would still have Right-wing governments. That's okay (even if it's not great). That's democracy. Understand that and you might persuade more people to join your efforts.

The same terrible argument for PR (to stop Right-wing governments). Exactly why these people should never be involved in any campaign for voting reform. JUST. STOP. You are not helping. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"Conservatives under the age of 50 are having trouble swallowing the administration’s justification, which sounds like a lazy ChatGPT version of George W. Bush’s arguments for invading Iraq more than two decades ago."👇

This was a good summary, free of histrionics from the excellent @rafaelbehr.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I get the strong sense that the bulk of media are calling Starmer's position on Iran entirely wrongly right now. I simply don't believe that most people out there are either as hawkish as the Tories or as anti-everything as the Greens. Being conflicted in the middle seems about right to me.

Ending Commonwealth voting is entirely justified, the empire has been over for about 60 years at this stage. I don't care if it'll benefit Farage, voting should be for citizens only.
