So stupid.. Labour acknowledges its main competition is Lib Dem and Green so why push away the very progressives Labour needs to win back? That's before we get into the morality and optics of jailing protesters. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

You're marketing manager for a chocolate company. You persuade CEO that you can increase market share by targeting marmite consumers. You change choc ingredients & add marmite flavour. Sales fall off a cliff as no one likes marmite chocolate... not even marmite fans. Do you keep your job? #mcsweeney

Morning all. Two things to read on Greenland etc; Gordon Brown for us in the Guardian on defending the (sane) old world order that Trump seems intent on replacing with his nonsensical Board of World Peace.. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

As Trump menaces Greenland, this much is clear: the free world needs a new plan – and inspired leadership | Gordon Brown
The idea that the liberal rules-based order can survive his presidency now seems complacent. This is a historic moment – and a time to act, says former UK prime minister Gordon Brown

There's lots to criticise the Biden administration for, but a key criticism must be why they didn't strengthen some of the broken guardrails when they had the chance.

Even in twitter's better days (before you could buy a louder voice) I saw few examples of mind changing. Occasionally though you could have a decent debate, but now all is drowned out by the blue tick army.

I assume you also didn't get into journalism to fight with blue tick trolls. Surely engaging with less foaming is more rewarding?

The problem with the US's presidential system is it's almost impossible to get him removed, regardless of how much it falls apart. They really need to rip up their constitution and start again.

This mess is *entirely* of Labour’s own making In opposition they promised to end sleaze and tighten money in politics. They could have laid out plans for this as soon as they got into office Instead they prevaricated. And this is the outcome. So depressing www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
