Why is the public confused about wealth taxes and climate change? Because for 40+ years, lobby groups and think tanks have been paid to confuse them. And it started with Thatcher pulling off one of the greatest financial cons in modern history. 🧵 @mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk

Before AI deepfakes, I distinctly remember Michael Gove’s daughter posting a TikTok of him asleep on the sofa while she mimed vomiting at the camera. Her old TikToks did exist and were later wiped. If only someone had saved that one. #r4today

Andy Burnham has done in 10 weeks what Keir Starmer failed to do in two years: use a huge majority to push a bold agenda aimed at reconnecting with large parts of the electorate. Naturally, the right will attack it, but what’s the point of a massive majority if you’re afraid to use it? #r4today

Gove’s cynical and performative media rehabilitation strategy is vomit inducing. It’s a pity that #r4today don’t remind him of his Ian Hislop ‘HIGNFY’ roasting.

I suspect it’s focus groups suggesting we do away with the triple lock. Knowing a few in that likely consulted demographic, I suspect they don’t think contributing to a personal pension is worth it either.That’s the paradox of populism: unintended consequences. Careful what you vote for. #r4today

I once innocently blew a police armed-robbery surveillance because my car matched the reported getaway car make (not the colour). The scramble to CYA was rather impressive & initially I got blamed. That was a local & costly op. Fairford may have cost more. Now watch the blame find someone. #r4today

The Chagos deal: negotiated largely by Mr Sunak’s Conservative government which conducted 11 rounds of negotiations versus Labour’s two before the October 2024 political agreement. Mauritius would obtain sovereignty while the UK retained control to operate Diego Garcia for 99 years. #r4today

If all new migrant crossings were stopped, and let’s go one further - if every asylum seeker currently in the UK could be repatriated, that chaps life (from Portsmouth) would not improve one iota. The chip on his shoulder wouldn’t disappear. #wato

I haven’t verified whether this is AI, but if genuine, seeing disabled men and elderly women physically attacking someone for holding opposing views is deeply concerning. History (1930s Germany) reminds us how quickly intolerance of opposing views can become normalised by ordinary citizens. #r4today

I listened to Farage’s speech live yesterday. Mostly laughable hot air until the “first 100 days”. Then came an ominously familiar 1930s authoritarian playbook to weaken Parliament, purge the Civil Service, neuter the judiciary, then use a plebiscite to legitimise the new order. #r4today

Half of Reform left the Tories because they were tired of being associated with a bunch of serially corrupt incompetents. The other half were kicked out because they WERE the serially corrupt incompetents. It's like watching a snake eat itself.

Reform UK Ltd tying itself in knots over impermissible donations and the imaginative stories surrounding them. Luckily, Head of Policy Dr James Orr has a doctorate in Theology and Religion. When your defence requires faith and parables it pays to have a theologian on staff. #r4today

In response to the Leader of the Opposition’s bleating about public spending being too high. Her generation benefitted directly from such socio-economic policies, but now I’m alright… This was lifted from the other place before it became a cess pit. A letter to The New Statesman in 2023. #r4today

This must be the third video of wonderful voices singing global scales I have seen, and each is mesmerising and has taught me things I didn't know. Such as: That these scales exist and how they, the bare backbone of tunes, reflect and unlock whole world regions' music. This is amazing.

Ms Badenoch says she and her parents (a GP and a Professor of Physiology) didn’t realise until her teens that she had a birth right to British citizenship, likening it to a “Willy Wonka golden ticket.” Given that, I’m struggling to understand the Conservatives’ social housing announcement. #r4today

Q: Is hacking a website a crime? A: Yes, hacking someone's website without clear permission is a serious crime. Gaining unauthorised access, changing data, or crashing a site breaks the law, even if you do not steal or cause permanent damage. Over to you Justin. Law & Order - innit? #r4today

Maybe Mr Burnham should reconsider his ‘no’ to an early General Election. Reform are all clearly over the place and under the gaffe-free Ms Badenoch, the Tories are unsurprisingly nowhere near GE ready. No point in having a mind Mr Burnham, if you’re not prepared to change it. #r4today

Now that Mr Farridge has been de-platformed it seems that Reform are finding other, more creative means to get their publicity. Putting forward the reform MP for Ozempic South with cloying tones around freedom of speech, or not, may be one such tactic. #r4today
