a decade is a long time in politics

Morning moon in snowbound Llandegla: priceless view of Clwydian Range.

Gunboat diplomacy is not a legitimate option for 21st century governments. Trump is shifting attention away from his domestic failure. Cynical, savage.

Beautiful snowy walk around Llandegla

The labyrinthine sources of overseas finance require political will to track. That will appears to be there - finally.

Long haul: independent inquiry on overseas interference 4 years after publication of Digital Gangsters.

So much to investigate; so much to take forward - urgently.

Big changes from last week.

Peter, tech lobbyists are not your friends. I am.

Amazing moon last night.

One of the greats. Rock music reborn.

Contrast Martin’s difficulties with the ease with which the reposting of goals is suppressed. It is a matter of choice by Meta who continue to choose to make billions. They always will if it is left to them.

How did they know the shadows were different lengths at the same time?

Anyone know another announcement of a transfer outside the transfer window? Puzzling. www.a-love-supreme.com/post/two-sides

Always welcome.

Selattyn Church, Shropshire. A very beautiful place.

Siskins are my favourite bird. Five years ago I had no idea they existed.

My 2021 book “Digital Gangsters” flagged Russian online interference. Our security services must know more. Why will our Labour government not lift the lid on all this?

Flaming sunset in Llandegla this evening.

Yesterday, I deleted ‘X”. I was reluctant to vacate the field but had stopped posting. Here’s why.

@tomwatsonofficial.bsky.social Murdoch’s poison has flooded public life in this country for almost a half a century. Its impact is almost impossible to quantify but it has corroded the UK’s very foundations. Sometimes, I think it is beyond repair.

Isn’t it amazing that Trump’s first act is to cow-tow to China and Tik Tok and sacrifice US security? Getting his duplicity in early.

Excellent article but the short answer to Scott’s question is” a striker”

Sunrise

Tonight, I think, the snow goes. Despite everything, there is beauty in the world.

Extraordinary winter beauty in the Clwydian hills

Very contemporary. Very good.

Blackbird in the Llandegla snow today.

Ex-politician ask politician to stop doing politics…

Is the world waking up, at long last, to the Digital Gangsters?
