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

@therestpolitics.bsky.social i think „disagree agreeably“ auf Deutsch is going to be something to do with ‚auseinandersetzen‘: e.g. „Auseinandersetzung ohne einander auszusetzen“ …

These people simply don’t give a shit about anything. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

I mean, really? Apparently this was actually made by an Actual Human. But perhaps - let’s hope - it’s just AI crap.

"This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore. A people that can no longer distinguish between truth & lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong. …With such a people, you can do whatever you want." - Hannah Arendt

Definitely worth signing I think stoptrump.org.uk/petition-can...

I wish I’d heard of this sooner www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

This clip has a very high Feel-Good rating

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Very surprising that Zelenskyy has apparently decided to sign Flump’s minerals agreement. Sounds like they were basically forced to via this threat to cut access to the Starlink system. Seems a very high price to pay. But that’s Orange World. 🤷🏻Everything has to mean financial enrichment for USA.

At last - actual Facts. Not “Alternative Facts”. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The ad that the Washington Post’s leadership refused to run. Let’s make sure it circulates anyway.

Mmhmm yes quite

An actual adult human made this. Hard to believe, I know. For those who (understandably) don’t know who Tommy is, Lucky You.

If this is true, we’re going to need to boycott AirBnB

Quite right too operawire.com/following-tr...

A very good bit of journalism www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Concentration Camps seemed to be the one bit of the fascist agenda that Flump wouldn’t follow, but no here it is: www.bbc.com/news/article...

It’s not April 1st. This is real; those famous “checks and balances” don’t work. The US - and the entire world - is watching this dangerous ignorant opportunist do literally whatever occurs to him, powerless to stop him. Four years of full fascism ahead.

Ah well, no surprises there I guess www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Such dignity and courage. youtu.be/mI4h4zbkNMU

Do we think this site is still the least likely to be supportive of the hideous new US administration? So sad to be having to leave Threads as well as X - maybe Facebook too 🤷🏻

Reform is a party by and for men born in 1967 who believe they were personally gassed at the Somme.

A big standing ovation for Simon Jack, asking on the Today programme, “excuse me but how do we distinguish a good C.O.P. from a bad C.O.P.?”

Oh no 🤦🏻‍♂️ www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Totally bonkers

Somebody proudly posted this rather unattractive picture

Why has this guy not been eliminated? Perhaps because Liberals don’t carry guns?
