NEW: I've filed a claim with Todd Blanche for compensation from the $1.776B slush fund for the unlawful investigation by the government into my podcast in August 2019. I'm seeking $8.647 million in compensation for weaponized lawfare - the equivalent of punitive damages, lost pay and retirement.

To paraphrase, "It's the hope that kills you". A Labour government after 14 years, with a 174-seat majority, Christ what they could have done if only they had actually wanted to do it.

Your graphs show linear relationships between proportion of voters registered for X party and proportion that voted for X's presidential candidate. Well gosh what a surprise. Your repeated failure to address the ETA's key allegations only lends weight to them. So thank you for that.

This fails to respond to ETA's principal allegation that there exists an unexplained correlation between turnout and vote share, showing a linear rise in Trump's vote share, in many precincts, above some threshold level of turnout. /1

Rant alert: Trump’s national security strategy trashing the EU and core values at heart of transatlantic alliance makes it all the more urgent for Starmer to pursue bolder reset with EU. His timidity loses valuable time and risks leaving us even more subject to events rather than shaping them. 🧵

Boys-only grammar school 72-77, a few years before Fartage was at Dulwich. Nobody was "obsessed with Hitler" nor did anybody think the Nazis were the good guys. Rock Against Racism and the like were de rigueur and nasty little fascists would have got very short shrift.

An official government account using the word “remigration” is not normal. It’s an imported term from European far-right movements that refers to mass expulsion. Democracies do not use population-purification language. #holdfast #SteadyState

Privatisation of UK industries driving cost of living crisis & inequality. People ripped off by water, energy, rail, mail companies. Profiteering at care homes, dentists, GP surgeries, cataract clinics. Social housing destroyed. Privatisation is a scam. Delivered low investment, poor service.

Indeed I did, thanks. 👍 You may also have seen the Sky News item today on hotel protests, interviewing two of the fash, but promising to interview counter-protestors in a later piece. Why they couldn't do one of each so that each post in the series would be balanced is a mystery. Sort of.
