To be clear, we totally can pretend it's not our war on the simple basis that it isn't.

So it turns out Reform are laundering their donations through crypto, before converting them into cash, hiding the original source of the money. So who is really funding Nigel Farage and Reform UK? observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

If you have $45 million to spend to avoid paying rich person taxes, you are proving the point that you should be paying rich person taxes. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

#Secularism, in other words, belongs to everyone. It’s a framework that allows people of all worldviews to participate in public life on equal terms. It’s about making sure that no worldview holds a privileged position, and that everyone has a voice. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1arC...

These people care about nothing but their own interests. They're not fit for any form of public office or responsibility. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

I think about this quote from All The Presidents Men constantly- “The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand”.

Can we just, once again, note that the British government should absolutely not be inviting this firm into our democracy?

I don't know how to clip a segment (sorry), but the bit I really want you to watch starts at 29'10". It's about the deep roots of the attack on Iran and why it's just as well Starmer is "no Winston Churchill". I'm surprised this aspect isn't more widely discussed. 🧵 www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

one correction: hegseth also purports to be forbidding _selling_ to anthropic as well.

Hegseth and OpenAi is the tie-up the future of civilisation absolutely doesn’t need.

Everyone of these powerful people already knew their names were in the Epstein files. The panic isn’t about the files. It’s about the public finally getting to see them.

Sometimes it feels like all the good historical #dataviz has already been dug up & dissected — which is why it’s so refreshing to have Attila excavating and sharing so many new (old) graphics.

The BIGGER issue with the Epstein files is the international collusion going on between the likes of Epstein, Mandelson, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, JP Morgan, financiers, the British establishment, Russian oligarchs, Israeli, European politicians, Gulf States ... anybody else?

Where did Peter Mandelson get the money to afford a big house in Camden, another one in Wiltshire and enough change to pay one of the most expensive legal firms in the UK to act on his recent fit of hubris about not fleeing to the BVI. That's what I'd like to know.

Naked corruption looks like this.

If anyone searches for the term ‘douchebag’, they should get this because Sam Altman is omg I don’t even have enough words to describe how vile he is. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Mandelson being arrested by the police is great news, but the list of those who could be charged for misconduct in public office is a long one. We should be just getting started. In completely unconnected news cough Boris Johnson cough.

So brilliant www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

A long read, but worth it. Sharp analysis by an economics professor of the threat that cryptocurrencies play, especially with Trump stumping for them. www.bostonreview.net/articles/the...

OH MY GOD

There are 28 Republican members on the House Oversight Committee. None of them showed up today for Les Wexner’s deposition on Epstein.

I guess bombing Iran would make a good distraction from the Epstein files.

Andrew Mountsomething Grifter is in *so much trouble* big trouble 😳 huge

Yeah the ‘thoughts and prayers’ tactic from the Palace doesn’t cut it. They have many, many questions to answer. www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

The most butt clenchingly embarrassing thing in this clip is the pathetic, sycophantic toadies who clap his refusal to answer the question and then laugh when he tells her to ‘go and write some silly story’. Farage is a liar and a charlatan who can’t stand any scrutiny whatsoever.

One day I hope greedy sociopathic hypocrites will be called out for being behaviourally dysfunctional.

🚨 Epstein survivors release this powerful PSA in advance of the Super Bowl demanding answers from the Justice Department. This is the Super Bowl ad every American should see. Spread it everywhere.

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

Good points here. What I can’t get my head around is the hysteria coming from Labour MPs. We all know it was a dodgy appointment but sometimes a slippery fuck eg Mandelson is the best way to deal with another slippery fuck eg Potus 47.

I just signed a petition calling for an urgent investigation into Peter Mandelson's dealings with Palantir. Did he use his position as UK Ambassador to benefit the US spy tech firm? Sign now: www.foxglove.org.uk/campaigns/ma...
