Some may think I’m obsessed with Farage and Reform, truth is I’m not I’m obsessed by a burning fear of our Society, our Country being destroyed.. turned into a mutant version of Trump’s USA that happened so quickly & to easily Farage & Reform, Rupert Lowe-Life & Restore etc represent that threat

Ukraine's drones made inoperable by restrictions on the speed permitted by SpaceX's Starlink network. Musk blames Trump. Any country relying the US or foreign tech companies will be held to ransom, can't defend itself. Need own satellites and systems to fight new imperialism.

Starlink: Musk says US government may be behind slowdown of Ukraine drone speeds
Ukraine says Starlink access has improved but it is still facing speed limits which are disrupting its battlefield "missions".

George Monbiot explains why the UK should rejoin the EU, "There's a reason why Russia tried to intervene in the Brexit vote, they knew that it would harm the UK and the EU if we left" "They were very clear about that and boy have they been proved right"

People voted to leave the EU because they were fed up, often for reasons that had nothing to do with the EU. And there was no agreement on what Brexit would look like. The country has moved on since 2016. Politicians need to catch up. @pimlicat.bsky.social on LBC

Much needed and it needs to be said loud & clear, over & over again. Burnham said he believes it is important to put this “clearly on the record” to help voters in Germany & France understand “some of this politics is instigated via our enemies”, amid the rise of far-right parties in those countries

Burnham says it is ‘clear’ Russia interfered in Brexit referendum
He said people have not been informed enough of ‘the extent to which people are seeking to disrupt the political process from overseas’.

For the sake of our own security, we must pursue EU membership. "But it is not Lesvure, or Merz or even Burnham who is propelling the UK back into the EU, but the efforts of Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump that are making the case for a stronger united Europe that can protect its own interests."

As long as the Tories are threatening to leave the ECHR, they aren’t a serious party. Consider it the ultimate red flag. Any party who’d take this entirely unnecessary and ruinous risk with our rights and our country’s security and wellbeing should never get its hands on power. (Letter, Times)
Value of the
ECHR
Sir, In dangerous times, serious countries do not retreat into splendid isolation. They build alliances, multiply their influence and strengthen institutions. Key among those is the 46-member Council of Europe, at its heart the European Convention on Human Rights.As former independent reviewers of terrorism legislation we have seen at close quarters that the ECHR is not just a human rights instrument. It is a national security asset. Terrorist networks, hostile states, organised crime gangs and people smugglers do not respect borders. Tackling them requires arrangements for the closest possible co-operation with our neighbours, including through joint investigations and police access to European passenger, fingerprint, DNA and vehicle data.These arrangements expressly depend on internationally agreed human rights standards, applied by a supranational court. We detect no political willingness to excuse the UK from compliance with standards to which the rest of Europe already subscribes. As authoritarian powers grow more aggressive and democratic institutions face mounting pressure, Britain should not be abandoning one of its greatest postwar achievements.
The question is not whether we can afford to remain within the ECHR. It is whether, in an increasingly perilous world, we can afford not to.
Lord Carlile of Berriew, Lord Anderson of Ipswich, Sir Max Hill

Excellent analysis. I had forgotten that David Frost’s criterion for the success or failure of Brexit was that “one piece of evidence of failure would be if we are still debating this in five- or six-years’ time in the same way.... if it is to succeed it needs to settle in the British polity.”
