The Eu reiterating what Starmer just said. Yet our press think he is rolling over. He is doing the right thing

TBH I think you're all overreacting about a speech that was, essentially, a holding pattern while the govt tries to work out what the fuck is going on and liase with allies. Staying calm and keeping level probably a good thing taht this point.

This is excellent www.ft.com/content/beea...

A Musk-run Ryanair would be hilarious. Two of the most hated brands combined.

Listening to a discussion about AI in university education with Amol Rajan & Prof Duncan Iveston on Radio 4 Today. Too short to get into the nuance of course, but an observation that copilot can do a literate review for you very quickly perfectly illustrates one of my main concerns with AI…1/1

"As vice chair of the Intel Committee, I am very familiar what's going on" in Greenland, says @markwarner.bsky.social on FTN. "There is no current security threat from Russia or China to Greenland. The only security threat to Greenland right now is the United States." www.cbsnews.com/news/mark-wa...

Someone should ask Trump next time he says that Denmark can't defend Greenland whether he means that the US wouldn't defend Greenland if Russia attacked it. (Russia is not going to attack Greenland, Putin is thrilled that Trump is validating his warped snatch-and-grab view of the world.)

The Government is planning to send King Charles to the US to celebrate with Trump. Giving him a royal visit right now sends a terrible message that his behaviour is acceptable. We can stop this if enough of us speak up. Will you add your name to the petition? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...

“We have done so much for America”: Denmark fought alongside the U.S. in Afghanistan. Now, as Trump eyes Greenland, the families of fallen soldiers have a message for him, Isaac Stanley-Becker reports: theatln.tc/ykSPMQgG 📸: Taby Cheng for The Atlantic

Nice early warning base you've got there, Mr Trump. It'd be a shame if something were to... happen to it...

All over the South West of England, especially the Severn Vale, it's the time of year for the tradition of Wassailing (Old English, 'Waes Hael' meaning be well/in good spirits). We bless the apple orchards, drink spiced cider, sing, light fires and have a merry old time🔥 🍏 🍞 #wassail #wassailling

Flying to Minneapolis tomorrow to cover the ICE raids for News Agents, what is unfolding and the politics which flows from it. If you’re there or know the city and know people/organisations we should be speaking to, please get in touch. DMs open.

Robert Jenrick complaining that the country is broken is like Fred West complaining that his patio is uneven.

protestors have painted what appears to be a tunnel on the side of the mountain, causing ICE agents to run into the mountain at full speed. disgusting.

Again it is something that people in previous eras have commented on but I still find it just astonishing to witness in my own: fascism is somehow the natural ideology of loser men, just all of our most pathetic and contemptible instincts rendered into a worldview.

🚨 THIS WEEK🚨 "Just give up on finding out who #JackTheRipper is." 🎤 In this hard-hitting episode, @hallierubenhold.bsky.social makes a case for abandoning the myth and focusing on the humanity of the five women. 🎧 Hear it here 👉 pod.fo/e/376763#JackTheRipper#TheFive #History #podcast #truecrime

Tonight's turret meeting will be pretty awkward

“ICE is doing what ICE is designed to do” played over video of ICE engaging in acts of violence should be the wall to wall DNC media strategy right now

This has been the plan all along. - Foment violence and chaos in the streets of MN - Implement the Insurrection Act - Declare Martial Law - Suspend elections

Unsettle the audiologist by saying "gunfire" and looking into the middle distance when they ask you why you think you might be unable to hear mid- to high-frequency noise.

Way ahead of you.

I still sing this when I hear the original

It's shocking how easily the lust for power leads men to embrace evil.

Making the jump from X as it becomes more of a cesspit. Keeping it active as I get requests for talks / history work there but time to start posting here and Threads (more likely there as I remember it exists and love it 😂)

Following coverage over the weekend of Sir Paul Nurse's comments that suggested that the only reason that a Fellow should be expelled from @royalsociety.org is scientific misconduct, I have written to him to explain the risks such an attitude poses of increasing sexual harassment in STEM.

"The left needs to stop their dangerous rhetoric"

I made a video a few years ago, with "then vs now" montages of WW2 airfields in the New Forest, here's a short clip.

Ukip have submitted a new logo and slogan to the Electoral Commission, swapping the £ pound sterling symbol for a cross, that looks very much like it is modelled on the Iron Cross used by Prussia & Germany 1871-1918 and Hitler's Nazi regime from 1933-45

Reform now has 2 Nads and a Dick. Amazing recruitment skills.

If you watch the panorama tonight about pet owners paying extortionate amounts for healthcare for their furry loved ones, do bear in mind that it’s basically the American healthcare system but for animals and that it’s what our nhs would be replaced with if certain right wingers had their way.

Old tweets being deleted now

There's always a tweet

As of today the full scale invasion (3 day special military operation) officially lasts longer than the entire eastern front of ww2

Joint statement by 4 former officials in Democratic and Republican Administrations—including four NATO Ambassadors, 3 Assistant Secretaries of State for Europe, and 3 NSC Senior Directors. Excellent opening in particular.

I didn’t know them - they went to another school.

I observed an English politician and friend of Epstein, Lord Mandelson, saying that he never saw anything that would suggest that abuse of young women was going on. In fact, he said "I was a gay man in his circle, I was kept separate from what he was doing in the sexual side of his life." 1/
