I know! Can't believe I didn't predict it. I thought he was just going to claim they'd surrendered when they didn't. Or that Iran was a Democrat hoax.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c5... Two weeks, eh? What is it with Trump and "two weeks"? I can only assume he picks this timescale because, whatever the issue, he assumes we'll all have forgotten about it by then. Which is probably true in terms of media cycles.

It's absurd to think this is not happening already. After all our grandparents did to defend democracy, it seems we are now squeamish about resisting aggressive totalitarianism. Call a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy - Petitions share.google/Y7dQk7FwvfSt...

1. In the wake on Mamdani’s win, we’ll see a lot more far right anti-urban sentiment. Here’s a thread on its roots and evolution. The idea that the city is evil and corrupt, and the countryside innocent and pure, goes back a long way: to Theocritus in Alexandria, and to the Old Testament. 🧵

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia. Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

It's an insult that Bluesky has given a trigger warning labelling this as self-harm (although I appreciate it was just the algorithm getting it wrong). I'm pretty sure he didn't do this to himself and I'm damn sure it shouldn't be censored.

I recently stopped listening to the news in the morning and replaced it with the music of Anaal Nathrakh. It's better for my mood and gives me more honesty than I could ever expect from BBC Radio 4, of which I used to be a great advocate. "Seize what you love and damn all the rest" indeed.

I don't want to gloss over how unutterably tragic this is to make a political point, but... has the BBC started doing it's job again? BBC News - BBC investigates Afghan maternal deaths after US aid cuts - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

They only need to convince about a third of the voting population though. And there is so much misdirected anger in the UK that at the moment, I don't see how they can lose the next election, unfortunately. Unless Starmer has a word with himself or Zack Polanski pulls off something spectacular.

I've seen a few concerning BBC headlines recently, which is a shame because I've always supported the BBC funding model. This was a clear incitement and her comments shouldn't be presented with that context. She committed a crime.

It unfortunately seems that we've learned nothing. Even though everyone knows brexit is a disaster, plenty of people still somehow think NF is the answer to their problems. Hatred is just too appealing.
