The UK Daily Mail obviously did not like the results of its own poll. Its own graphic portrays 75% as less than 50%. #UKPolitics #Brexit #EuropeanUnion

Floods don’t ask for your passport. Droughts don’t care about your politics. Heatwaves don’t check your race or income. Climate change is the definition of a global crisis. It will only be solved by global leadership that puts people and planet above short-term politics. Let’s demand it.

The last period in which the British people felt the country was at its peak in economic strength, global power and general optimism was 1991-2007. Even post-2008, the sense of optimism and national pride extended to 2012. I wonder if being part of a union of some kind had anything to do with it 🤔

These multi-millionaires and billionaires are falling over each other to donate eye-watering sums to political parties but not even a fraction of such sums in taxes. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“Patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone.” – Edith Cavell (1915), before being executed for healing both British and German soldiers. Unfortunately, a prominent swathe of this country finds itself incapable of upholding this fundamentally British value.

Rather odd for Newsnight to be so detailed about one headline, even specifying “inverted commas”, to then being so vague in one about Britain rejoining the EU on pre-Brexit terms that it could actually be misinterpreted as a claim from the Guardian, not Barnier. @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social

"The mere existence of trillionaires is a major political and economic problem, probably the defining issue of our time," writes @gabrielzucman.bsky.social. "When the power of wealth is wielded by sociopaths, the consequences are a matter of life and death."

Just wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal didn’t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent $1.7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. 🤷🏽‍♂️

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I know, according to your last two shows, you’re not particularly aligned with this analysis, James, but as a trader I urge you to dig into this. This isn’t the first time something like this happened under Trump either.

This is the best speech, just from a pure rhetoric perspective - its sophistication and persuasiveness - that I've seen a politician deliver in a good long while. Really recommend watching or reading the whole thing.
