An important and wise thread

11 We learn from history not by shelving it like a historic artifact, but by seeing its relevance for what we do today. And for this, a comparison (again, this is not ranking) is necessary.

Reminder for all UK dual nationals: As of the 25 Feb 2026, dual nationals will not be able to travel to the UK on their 'other' passport. If, for example, you or your dual citizen children live abroad & currently don't hold a UK passport, you need to get one (for them) in order to re-enter the UK.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

The defection of Suella Braverman, who was sacked twice from Government in disgrace, spent £700m of taxpayers' money to send four volunteers to Rwanda on a deportation scheme that was then scrapped and has a public approval rating of minus 32 is currently being described as a "major coup" for Reform

I am not entirely sure whether the UK will really re-elect a cabinet that failed them and they ended up hating - only because now it is called "Reform UK"

Wow. She really nailed all the problems in the US right now, and a straightforward, polite, and devastating way.

SPOILER ALERT: The Inuit don't agree with him. They like the free healthcare and education in Denmark. #HandsOffGreenland 🇬🇱🐻‍❄️

PM of Poland: "On December 22, 2011, in Ghazni, Afghanistan, I took part in the farewell ceremony for the five fallen Polish soldiers. The American officers who accompanied me then, told me that America would never forget the Polish heroes. Perhaps they will remind President Trump of that fact."

Kyiv. Electricity is back. I thought we wouldn’t see it for a few days after the night attack. Glory to Ukrainian engineers.

'Experts have strongly criticised the “imperialist” vision of Trump’s so-called master plan, which they say does not include any consultation with Palestinians and reduces the ongoing catastrophic genocide to an “investment opportunity"' #Gaza www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/1/...

We'll see, but I don't think the apparent TACO on Greenland will last long. It's just another case of "last person he talked to," and that won't be the Europeans once he's back at the West Wing / Mar-a-Lago. For their own anti-NATO reasons, too many in the inner circle are determined to push this.

Mark Carney has delivered one of the most important speeches of our era. There is a better future waiting for Britain if we dare to follow his example. inews.co.uk/opinion/trum...

PM Carney at Davos is pure statesmanship—calm, smart, and measured. In uncertain times, leadership must be steady and principled. He stresses Canada’s role in a shifting world, global partnerships, collective security, and pragmatic cooperation. Couldn't be more proud of him

Sunset in Kharkiv today is bloody. Russian glide bombs struck private homes in the city, killing a woman in her yard. Ten people were injured, and houses were destroyed in the dead of winter.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

Absolutely right

All of these people - Mogg, Farage, Carswell, Jenrick, Hannan and the rest need to be forever reminded of what they backed and supported

For well over a decade, Nigel Farage criticised Davos and just two years ago criticised Starmer for going and calling him a "full-on globalist, hanging out with his mates at the World Economic Forum." So, question. Where do you think Nigel Farage is going today?

Choosing sides between a rogue president bent on destroying the Western alliance and UK and EU governments finally standing up to him shouldn’t be difficult for mainstream political parties or news organisations. So come on Telegraph, Times, Badenoch and yes you Farage if you want to be PM…

Watching GB News or reading the Telegraph you realise there is a slice of right-wing opinion that would happily betray this country.

This is how Brexit is laundered out of the story 👉name the symptoms 👉blame a foreign crisis 👉omit the political choice that made Britain uniquely exposed. And consumers keep paying for a decision they were promised would make food cheaper.

… disproportionately hit food as margins are thin and supply chains are time-sensitive. 💥 Ukraine explains the initial energy shock. 🔥 Brexit explains why costs don’t come back down. You can’t keep blaming a 2022 invasion for price pressures that are now structural, domestic and policy-driven.

Food prices are rising again and The Times blames Ukraine invasion but sidesteps Brexit: 💥 Border friction 💥 Paperwork 💥 Checks 💥 Labour shortages 💥 Higher costs passed down chain These are consequences of leaving frictionless trading bloc which …. 🧵 👇

Jenrick is really not very impressive

Labour announcement today: NHS waiting lists down by 86,000 in one month Reform announcement today: another failed senior Conservative has joined Reform are busy recruiting the people who got the country in a huge mess - Labour is busy clearing it up and renewing Britain

Jenrick on Farage: "I don't think Nigel is the bloke you want to have running your kids' schools or running your local hospital or... trust your savings, your pension, your small business to." (Sept 2025) "I don't think he's a serious politician. I don't think he's got the answers." (Oct 2024)

There is nobody better at this sort of thing than Emma.

Good morning. A regular reminder: a tiny few hoard staggering wealth and own much of the media, while millions struggle to survive. That’s not an accident. It’s a choice made by those in power. Tax wealth. Fund public services. Build an economy for everyone - not the 1%.

So first question - why is an anonymous account on Twitter posting a random 8 year old Daily Mail story? Why on Earth would an 8 year old Daily Mail story about a rubbish licence get 1.3M views?? Can you guess what the comments are filled with? 2/

It's worth reading this whole thread to learn how the Daily Mail manipulates and misrepresents the truth, and rehashes ancient stories to stoke anger and gain clicks. We are being played

I was asked to look at this post! And while the story obviously has important context that’s missing from the headline - which I’ll cover obvs 😜 - what’s more important is to question why this is being posted! And what to ask yourself when you see something like this… 1/12 🧵

Charlie Kirk is shot – all mainstream people on the left say that political murder is unacceptable, and extend their condolences to his family. Renee Good is shot – the mainstream right (including the VP and President) accuse her of being an extremist and demand protection for her killer.

Is it possible that certain politicians defend X because "those on the other side“ criticize it? Has UK politics become so moronically polarized and binary that people would say the most absurd things simply because it is the opposite of what the others say? Is this a pathetic culture war issue now?

Nadim Zahawi arrived in the UK from Iraq as a child refugee. His family claimed asylum once they were here. Today he has joined Reform who will stop all in country asylum applications. Under his new party, his own family fleeing persecution would be immediately deported.

❤️‍🔥Tory sources confirm that Nadhim Zahawi made approaches to senior members of Kemi Badenoch's team about getting a peerage just weeks before defecting to Reform UK - but was turned down.

Amazingly, Zahawi only got round to deleting the below after the press conference announcing his defection to Reform.

Strange isn't it... the people who actually live in London overwhelmingly think it's safe.... almost like everyone else is falling for a lie

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

BBC News says that US Vice President JD Vance is wrong And that the latest video shows that Renee Good was driving away from the ICE agent Not towards him
