The Republican Party that American conservatives like PJ O'Rourke used to vote for has regressed & mutated into a crime syndicate. The crimes commited by the MAGA-GOP can never be forgiven or forgotten. An entirely new right of centre party in American politics is needed. bsky.app/profile/pick...

I always have mixed feelings about these images. Yes, it's inspiring to see these college students committed to democracy, but the fact that they have to do anything remotely difficult to exercise their voting rights is enraging. Taking part in a democracy should be as easy as possible.

The former head of MI6 Sir John Sawers tells Peston there will be a “surge of fighting” in the Middle East in December before the Americans “walk away” from the conflict. “This is not sustainable for the American military.”

It’s worth noting that Iran’s entire military and security apparatus operates on a budget that’s a fraction of the Saudis’. Indeed even little UAE has a bigger military budget than Iran. And much of Iran’s resources are focused on internal repression.

Every time a Brexist denies Russian interference, ask them "do you believe that Russia intervenes in European politics?" If the answer is yes, then the follow-up is "and why do you conclude that they choose not to interfere in British politics?"

Brexit has damaged communities across Wales. Plaid Cymru has been clear and consistent that securing a closer relationship with the EU would boost our economy and improve opportunities. The UK Government must not shy away from the truth and delay decisions that would improve people’s lives.
