Rubio Urges Europe to Awaken From ‘Slumber’ and Uphold Western Dominance (Gift Article)
In Greece, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Western nations must embrace an earlier ethos of exploration and conquest as part of their civilization, to remain ‘at the head of the world.’

the common belief that so-called "back office" roles in the public sector are unnecessary is predicated on an understanding of the world of work that's no deeper than "when mummy hides her face she isn't actually there anymore"

Re the debate on the cliff edge where tax-free childcare is lost at £100k leading to people keeping their income below this amount, it’s obvious that such cliff edges are bad as it skews decisions about work – no-one should be worse off if their earnings increase. /1 🧵

Parties who let members vote on policy aren't credible imo. Conferences aren't representative and you're too vulnerable to single issue members who join your party in bad faith, to further their own agenda

If you care about democracy & justice, centre Brazil’s election. A global right-wing kleptocratic criminal network, led by powerful forces in the US, Israel and Russia, is operating across borders. No democracy can withstand this in isolation. Just Democracies need a global coalition of their own.

Person one: Taught my kids how socialism works. Let them trick or treat while I stayed home. Then took all their candy. Socialism 101.

Person two : The socialism part is where the community came together and fed your kids for free. The capitalism part is where you made them do all the work and stole from them.

Archer is yet another example that there are no penalties for failure in British public life.
But his time behind bars and his political disgrace did not terminate his career at Westminster, and he returned to the red benches of the House of Lords, until he retired in 2024.

Monica Coglan was cross-examined for 13 hours by Archer’s lawyers in the libel trial. She was frequently in tears as her entire life and character was attacked. She died in a car crash before Archer was found guilty of perjury in that trial. Before it was found she’d told the truth all along.
