Dear America (and clearly I mean the current MAGA administration, not the US people) if you're not happy about UK security, please take all your planes and all your troops and sod off out of our country - we don't want you here anymore.

We've just ordered some Christmas cards from the #RNLI - is it wrong that they will be sent to certain "friends" that have developed anti-immigration views ?

On the BBC News Katya Adler has just described Germany, where the far right AFD keep winning elections, as entering 'uncharted political territory'. Hmmm. Where Germany is concerned I think that territory is pretty well charted.

Anyone know why a newspaper owned by the Fourth Lord Rothermere, who inherited a fortune from the Third Lord Rothermere, who inherited his money from the Second Lord Rothermere, who inherited it from the First Lord Rothermere, is so strongly opposed to inheritance tax?

90 years ago, Parliament responded to the rise of Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts by passing the Public Order Act, which banned political uniforms, private militias and the threat of force for political objects. The debates make very resonant reading today. Here's the Liberal Robert Bernays. (Short 🧵)

You cannot conduct a fair match when one side is playing with a ball and the other with bombs and, if democracy is to survive, it must be conducted according to definite and recognised rule. One of them is that no political party should resort to any weapon other than reason and argument. The introduction of private armies, as I see it, strikes at the root of democracy. I know it is contended that the Blackshirts are not armed and, therefore, are not an army, but I do not think that argument can be upheld. … Uniformed men in military formation suggest, and are meant to suggest, the idea of force. It is no argument to reply that at this or that demonstration no force is intended. It is an inescapable fact that a uniform in politics symbolises force, to be used either now or in the future.

Can someone explain to Trump what "decimated" really means (at least in the original context). Or maybe he does know and when he says Iran's capability has been decimated, he really does mean "reduced by one tenth".

Dear #BBC you're doing it again! We don't want to see every detail of Trump's life on the news. Swearing in another MAGA but job to replace the last one that quit/was fired. We don't get every speech by any other country leader - we see more of him on TV than our own politicians
