someone tell tommy robinson and dominik tarczyński

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Someone very close to Putin once explained to me that Putin thinks that all Westerners can be bought. We have no values; only a price. Dmitriev's prominent role in drafting the latest "peace plan" underscores that Putin assessment. I hope Putin is wrong. I fear for some, he might be right.

Kraków has become a hub for business services in recent years, but such jobs are now at risk of being replaced by AI, writes Bloomberg. The city is seeing growing layoffs, with the likes of Shell, Heineken, HSBC and UBS among those cutting positions.

Notice how Trump is always all talk and no trousers when the person is in the room?

A news conference started well for Gianni Infantino. Then Trump reiterated threats to relocate World Cup games from LA and Seattle. And then the likely recipient of FIFA’s peace prize didn’t rule out launching strikes on World Cup co hosts Mexico. www.nytimes.com/athletic/681...

GD wants a new election code according to which Georgian citizens won't be able to vote abroad, but would have to come to Georgia for it. Would've somewhat understood if they were not allowed to vote at all due to not being part of social, political life, but then how would you bus people in?

Trump's White House: the walls of this classic Federalist style building have now had polyurethane ornaments manufactured in Taiwan and spray painted with gold pain glued to them. The appearance is repulsive, gaudy & entirely to Trump's taste. These ornaments are available at Home Depot, BTW

What is a definition of a ceasefire? I'm sure it not what gets 104 people killed overnight... www.theguardian.com/world/video/...

Went to this game last night. Lots of observations, none unexpected to be honest.

Wonder what is the total amount in the behind the scenes shake down. Must be hundreds of millions for it to be worth doing all this. That is from him and his in laws and wider family.

Trump posted an AI video last night of him wearing a crown, flying a jet and bombing protesters with shit. Yes, shit. Many U.S. media have ignored this latest example of Trump’s mental instability. Others have downplayed it. The response says a lot about why we’re in this mess. 🧵 1/

Gharibashvili did basically everything was asked to, was most loyal of loyalists, so much so,was trusted to return as PM during in crisis.Got himself &family sanctioned & now is out on street &doesn't even get to keep money. Lesson to others? But greed makes them think it won't happen to them

Her comments triggered a wave of anger in Warsaw. Former Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said on X: “Angela Merkel, through her thoughtless interview, proved that she is among the most harmful German politicians to Europe in the past century.” which century are we talking about?

what if I told you that taking accountability for your actions was traditionally considered a load-bearing feature of masculinity?

By the end of today one part of the opposition will say - 'see what your participation in election gave to GD? Legitimacy.The other will say- 'see what we achieved despite your boycott and election fraud, could've been better if you hadn't discouraged people from voting' and infighting will continue

Georgian Institute of Politics (GIP), a leading Tbilisi-based think tank, announced it is suspending operations, citing an increasingly repressive environment but also a sense that its mission has been undermined amid the country’s anti-democratic turn.

The primary aim must be getting the govt off X. This offers the possibility of a cascade effect taking journalists etc off it. We need to seperate the national debate from the extremism engine.

Wonder that Georgian flag at today anti immigrant rally in London is a) an English person thinks it's a variety of an England flag or b) it's a local Georgian taking an anti immigrant stand. Won't be surprised with either. In the end it was a clip from Daminik Tarczyński speech
