I realize it is not the most useful piece of analysis but I feel like we don't talk enough about the plain fact that a relatively large chunk of the country has just kinda lost their minds

Why are we seeing a resurgence of racism in 2025 & what can counter it? I spoke to @johnharris1969.bsky.social for the Guardian podcast www.theguardian.com/politics/aud...

Let’s hear more of the dangers of democratic socialism under Mamdani

We’ve made this investigation free to read because so many people in Sheffield are affected by this story. Our journalists have been knocking on doors for weeks and we’ve had to employ lawyers because of the legal threats made against us. We can only do this kind of journalism with your support.

He's going to 'make the case for markets' despite screwing up Britain's place in a very large one, and putting up trade barriers.

I was going to say when was the last time Cummings was in JD Sports, but we've all seen how he dresses...

Someone else who has spent far too much time on X.

Someone else who has spent far too much time on X.

For anyone still tempted to take Dominic Cummings at all seriously, he's now an advocate of Donald Trump-style open racism.

Call me old-fashioned, but shouldn't it be a news story when the president is posting AI videos of himself (without disclosure) talking about *nuclear weapons*? truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT...

🚨🚨🚨 The jury has reached a verdict. Sean Dunn, aka the DC Sandwich Guy, has been found NOT GUILTY of assault.

Which one is more English?

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

Relatedly, to sort of paraphrase David Shor, the problem for governing parties isn’t being captured by their activists, it’s being captured by their strategists. Putting it differently, a strategist is simply an activist of a different sort.

It's so funny that the White House has decided, since Tuesday evening, that its big focus will be costs — after eight months of splattering gold paint all over the White House and after a big Roaring '20s party at the private club the president bought from a Post cereals heiress.

Running against a bad, unpopular president doing bad, unpopular things works. Thinking a bad, unpopular president is not worth talking about—one narrow election is forever, he’s magic, no one cares—is ridiculous. Shouldn’t need saying, but here we are, so it’s good @gregsargent.bsky.social does.

Republicans smoking a lot of copium here...

Cool. What would you call the other wing then? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/u...

Trump is all talk no walk. Since January he has promised to invade or bomb: Greenland Canada Panama Nigeria Venezuela Mexico Colombia Done nothing except give China the advanced Chips they wanted to beat us at AI

I was ok with that. It was the “do not mention my previous murders” that was the red line

Always amusing to see an interviewee who we have been forced to politely decline due to unjournalistic restrictions pop up in another serious paper which has evidently (and silently) complied

This is really excellent data journalism... Elon Musk has declared war on the British government, it just doesn't realise it.

Not sure this is much better guys!

🤣

We need more reporting of local government. This is quite a thread...

Posted to Twitter eight minutes before it was copied and pasted onto bluesky

The GOP took a beating in the 2025 elections across the board. The president is in rapid decline. The House has been shut down for two months to block the Epstein Files. And now this. We should have “Republicans in disarray” stories across the board right now.

Is this bad?

I don't know what is more depressing. That the BBC seems to have no clue what democratic socialism is or that someone who comments on politics for a living thinks it's the same as communism. Jesus wept, indeed. GCSE, Introduction to Politics, Chapter 1, stuff.

For as many years as anyone been counting two or more inmates been mistakenly released from British prisons most weeks. Record does not make it acceptable. System needs to be fixed. It does leave me asking why BBC now gripped by end-of-civilisation hysteria heard on Radio 4 Today programme.

NEW A lot of anxiety in politics about whether Brits have gone cold on going green. Our analysis finds people are still concerned about and believe in climate change, and are buying climate tech - but not always for climate reasons... news.sky.com/story/brits-...

By my reading, it's hard to remember a more scandalous example of a social media company being negligent in their responsibility to users. It's so so bad, and deeper investigation and regulatory action must surely follow.

"Number of unfilled primary school places in England hits record high". Link: on.ft.com/47GtJWJ We should get used to seeing this story once a year!

We are now moving on to approving of a new Strategic Statement - Reforming Kent, a title that is almost certainly in breach of the Local Government Act, but no one seems to care about. Cllr Kemkaran says KCC is facing "the most challenging operating environment this council has ever faced."

We need more reporting of local government. This is quite a thread...

Kent County Council is getting underway. Slightly odd arrangements in place where usual press seats have been closed, leaving us in the public gallery, which has 14 seats. Far more than 14 people are here, leading to several journalists and others being left outside of the room. But we’re in.

Oh how terrible, I can see why renewables are so unpopular...

Jesus I see what you've done for others

This is really excellent data journalism... Elon Musk has declared war on the British government, it just doesn't realise it.

How Sky News investigated X's algorithm for political bias

X effect: How Elon Musk is boosting the British right

X is designed to radicalise people. The algorithm promotes Elon Musk's agenda to promote racists and people who want violence bought - specifically - to the streets of Britain. Members of Parliament, major institutions and the media should not be there. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...
