Magyar takes on a hostile press with style. Lessons for us in the UK here (and the US?), methinks.

If it's sometimes hard to tell the difference between fossil-fuel lobbyists and the billionaire press, that's because there isn’t one. My column on the politicians, journalists and junktanks using the Iran crisis as an excuse to extract our remaining gas and oil.

UK energy prices are soaring – and propagandists want to sell you a false reason why | George Monbiot
The war on Iran has put fossil-fuel prices centre stage, but don’t believe those who tout ‘maximising the North Sea’ as our salvation, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

This very straight news piece buried deep within the FT never uses words like corruption or insider dealing but every detail is quietly devastating. Why is the FT virtually alone in the UK media in covering this important story?

The one thing about the Starmer hunt I don’t understand is why it is not said the only realistic successor would be Yvette Cooper. Tough, capable, experienced and far better than the rest. Streeting is repellent, Rayner not up to it and neither is Lammy. Who does that leave?

There’s a v cynical media and political blindspot in the Epstein shitshow. A feeding frenzy to get rid of Starmer while red-carpeting Farage into No10. Who is named in the files. As is Candy, Reform’s treasurer. With Bannon. And Brexit. Don’t cry about abuses of power and then do nothing about him.

The USA doesn't change whoever the President is. Every President works out they can achieve little at home but that the massive US military allows them to do all kinds of things abroad. Amazing how often this involves regime change in oil rich or strategically important countries.

A white British father and son BOTH raped the same child and pled guilty to multiple counts of Sexual assault. This has been in the press for 2 days. The Mirror is the only National newspaper to report on it… And THAT’s why people have such a skewed perception of the links between race and SA🤷🏼♀️

For all those who keep saying Labour doesn’t keep promises. Ok there could be more but they are doing what they said they would. Unlike posh boy Farage who said who would leave the country if Brexit was a fuck up.

A lot of this is true and an uncomfortable thought. Being right isn’t always as effective at driving policy as being realistic. On the other hand if we don’t do something radical on environment we are fucked.

'How long is this going to last?' says a fisherman. The climate emergency is going to go on for centuries and so this is as nothing to what is coming down the line. Perhaps Justin Webb wouldn't find it so amusing if he had the slightest understanding of what we face in the future.

Our billionaire press and social media algorithms keep pushing Farage and insist that Labour and Starmer are shit but - for some strange reason - people prefer Starmer to a shyster like Farage.

Hilarious how the far right complain about “identity politics” when they make their skin colour and birthplace their entire identity, in lieu of any imagination or personality. Their identity is mostly comprised of being white, badly dressed flagshaggers with high cholesterol.

A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time: Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves. Q: Why are you running away? Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels. Q: But you’re foxes! Fox: Yeah, why don’t *you* try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.

Condolences to Dolly Parton on the loss of her husband, Carl Dean. A simple test of a person's character is to ask them their opinion of Dolly Parton. If the answer isn't to the effect that she's one of the greatest people on the planet, avoid them.

Merz just said on German TV that the primary priority of his government will be to ensure that Europe can achieve full strategic independence from the United States in the defence against Russia. Merz was once a die hard Atlanicist. Now, after Trump he is a Gaullist. Extraordinary.

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

If you want an insight into the logic driving the gleefully victorious right wing of US politics this is interesting. Plus you will be allowed to comment. A fascinating echo chamber in which Trump is almost always viewed positively and all opposition is corrupt, malevolent or stupid.

This Is Not Appeasement, It Is Worse Comparisons to Neville Chamberlain and Appeasement are not fair to Chamberlain. Trump isn't trying to delay a war with Putin or give himself time to rearm. The US president is trying to help Putin
