Heseltine correct. Unfortunately, the govt listens to Farage rather than Heseltine.

These are the methods of the communist era... It will backfire.

Hungarian government charges investigative journalist www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

💥🔎 INVESTIGATION: A secret operation tried to bring down the IT systems of Hungary’s opposition party Tisza. Party-linked IT specialists planned to expose it, but police—under pressure from the secret services—raided them on what appear to be trumped-up charges. More: www.direkt36.hu/en/titkosszo...

The AI economy looks...really precarious. So @matteowong.bsky.social & I did a bunch of reporting to try to figure out what happens when a potential bubble collides with a war in Iran and a potential resource shortage. The answer is...arguably the most dire stuff i've heard from smart ppl in a while

Keir Starmer can't, Kemi Badenoch won't and Nigel Farage refuses to. Only Ed Davey is calling out Trump's corrupt regime and standing up for the British people.

This is purely financial. Video generation is astronomically expensive in terms of compute without any actual use cases or potential cash flow. They were staring down the barrel of a $5+ billion bonfire of cash annually to make AI slop. They're already hurting for cash as the bubble starts to pop.

In the Russian press, no criticism of war on Ukraine. But an editorial slamming restrictions in Russia: “Where's the cut-off point, the line in our personal & collective experience we’re not prepared to cross, where we would say no, we can’t live without this, we don’t want to?” #ReadingRussia

Wow!

IRAN REFUSES PEACE TALKS WITH TRUMP'S 'BACKSTABBING' NEGOTIATORS - TELEGRAPH

Exactly this. It’s honestly concerning that we’ve hit over 15,000 targets and aren’t seeing any real strategic value out of it. Iranian missiles are increasingly getting through Israeli air defenses. The Strait of Hormuz is closed, and we are preparing boots on the ground.

I'm appalled by some replies to this. I've repeatedly made my views on Israel's vile policies known. I should be able to condemn an antisemitic arson attack on ambulances in my hometown without smug replies implying I have double standards or that Jews in London are responsible for Israeli crimes.

John Brennan, former Director of the CIA, "I tend to believe Iran more than I do President Trump" "Because Trump could not acknowledge the truth even if he was slapped in the face with it repeatedly"

Absolute 🤦‍♂️

F*ckers

I have never used a stock firmware on any WiFi router (for various reasons).

Fascinating thread

Nice!

This is just evil.

isn’t this like all routers?

Given how easy it is for journos (or frankly it seems anyone) to cold call the president these days, I dread to think who Trump has been actually talking to....

Aesop: I TOLD YOU

Currently on France TV, the new mayor of Paris Grégoire celebrating his victory by biking around on a bike share. He’s now taking an interview while riding.

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 The U.S. and Israel expected that their attacks would spark a mass uprising in Iran and quickly bring down the government, but that hasn’t happened, - NYT Other ideas like using Kurdish forces were also dropped. For now, the most likely outcome is that the current regime stays in power.

This is an extraordinary saga that Sunder is pursuing indefatigably. The BBC has repeatedly tried to excuse itself from responsibility for allowing Nigel Farage to lie egregiously about immigration without challenge. It is illustrative of a much wider malaise & so very important. Thank you, Sunder.

So, um... this is bad. Really bad. I looked at the letters that were translated by the AI, and the very first one I found was almost entirely hallucination. Thread:

FEDWATCH: “.. Clearly, Iran is not backing down, and open-source conflict trackers indicate that missile launches have increased. .. In other words, Iran can outlast US and Israeli attacks with a missile arsenal that is cheaper, flexible in range, and located far underground.”

Remember when they jumped on anyone criticising Charlie Kirk after his death? Yet it's fine for Trump to be 'glad' when someone he doesn't like dies.

I'm seeing a lot of these fake Donald Trump truths being posted on BlueSky (and lesser sites) at the moment. Its pretty easy to check, and you owe it to yourself and other people before sharing it.

Indeed.

Rare humour... in these god awful times

Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi's reaction as Trump says "Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Habour?" Undoubtedly the worst American diplomatic gaffe in post-war US-Japan history.
