Not sure why anyone bothers with anti-AI activism when the most effective strategy would be to just point as many microphones as possible to its most vocal champions.

Cannot be emphasised enough that Trump II will plausibly cause the kind of death count we associate with the worst dictatorships of the last century. Unspeakably bad that he came to be president of the world's most powerful nation.

YouTube, TikTok and Meta have all turned down the trailer for the Oct. 9 doc, citing “political” content. X won't even take Bleecker Street's calls. The distributor is appealing.

Indeed. The most positive thing a Tory Brexiter has said about the Single Market since they all promised we wouldn’t leave the Single Market.

The maddening thing when she says “If we could have stayed in the SM…” is that we could have stayed in the SM and indeed most prominent Brexit campaigners explicitly said we *would* stay in the SM.

Farage’s response to Burnham’s clampdown on Russian disinformation is so very, very telling. It’s virtually an admission of guilt. Given that Reform’s Welsh Leader is doing 10 years for taking Russian bribes & how much Farage has praised Putin, one can only guess at how deep the rot has gone.

Once the powers-that-be were too spineless to crack down on racists cable-tying flags to lampposts to intimidate immigrants, the fascist floodgates were bound to open.

It’s difficult to shake the notion that “letting racists cable-tie flags to lampposts to intimidate immigrants and leave them flying to avoid a backlash” has opened the floodgates to more alarming fascist thuggery. Someone needs to get a grip.

It seems like the police are assuming the far-right losers are 'looking for an excuse' to do more damage and so must be given maximum space. In fact, they are turning a big dial that says 'thuggery' on it and constantly looking over at the state for the slightest sign of consequences.

Lots of talk of growth ahead of the Budget, as if it were a baroque puzzle. Our problem is basic. It's that we no longer support the things which facilitate growth: Europe, immigration, higher education, tax simplification, policy stability. These are all choices and could stop making them anytime.

Just look at the glee on Nigel Farage’s face as he watches a Piddington resident cry about the overt racism she, her Caribbean heritage husband, and their two children have felt in the village during the referendum. Time and again he’s showing us exactly who he is.

Great thread. Most racists are "genuinely concerned" because they are genuinely prejudiced. Their sincerity is not the issue

My favourite fact about Iceland is that we have many, many crime writers but only one forensic pathologist, and he was so busy answering all of their questions that he decided to have a small seminar for writers to get some peace. It immediately sold out so he had another one that also sold out.

I just think that risking your life at a moment's notice to save people you've never met in exchange for no money is a better expression of patriotism than dressing up like a Poundshop paramilitary and intimidating families with kids trying to get onto a ferry.

If the argument is that Israel's global reputation is directly correlated to the safety of the Jewish diaspora then surely no one has a bigger responsibility to safeguard that reputation than Israel's Prime Minister. ... and he doesn't appear to give a shit.

Also, while I think everyone has a responsibiltiy to combat antisemitism and violent extremism, it seems dubious that Netenyahu can do and say whatever he wants - no matter how incendiary - but other governments can't criticize his actions for fear of endangering their Jewish communities.

I think their problem is it’s a party of bullies - and bullies are generally unlikeable in the flesh (some people are more susceptible to join bullying speech online but people are generally more polite IRL). I can see why “meeting voters” is a waste of time for them when they’re more potent online.

OK - just seems like there should be a way where the UK doesn’t lose out on £330m from one guy because of ideological fervour.

Dave Bromage @davebromage.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
12% of wealth not annual income. As I said, I don’t want to make excuses for him but losing £330m in tax is suboptimal for the UK.

Dave Bromage @davebromage.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
Well, it’s a third of their entire wealth, (not annual income). In a year. OK, this guy has £4bn so it’s 1/12 of his entire wealth in a year. I don’t want to feel any sympathy for these people but I can see why they might move.

Dave Bromage @davebromage.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
Surely there’s some version of a wealth tax that doesn’t target those super rich already paying £330m a year but does get those paying peanuts to pay £330m a year? 🤷‍♂️
