Social media has been the biggest own of the West! Our adversaries don't allow their own population to use these apps, but their bots poison the discourse here.
The MAGAsphere is basically a Russian data centre but we continue to let them set the weather. How foolish we are.
"I can see why" the country is in such a mess when this is their response to something that, let's be honest, they wouldn't bring back themselves should Labour make it stick.
Can we not just work in the national interest, ever??
Many Tory MPs I speak to privately acknowledge the triple lock is an unsustainable and ridiculous policy that needs to be binned. I can see why this is an easy battle line to be drawn with the pensioner vote being so lucrative - but it's grim that this is being done at the potential expense of maintaining indefensible intergenerational unfairness
Has straining relations with NATO been a costless endeavour though? Are there other US interests that (might have) benefited from a warmer alliance?
To repeat, this is an enormous deal. Keep score on who downplays it or minimizes its importance. President Trump has secured part of the gateway to the Arctic —an unqualified big win. Those that won’t admit it will also have likely damned POTUS for straining relations with Denmark and NATO over elevating the topic from the start of his second term. Now that is behind the allies, the threats are identified and excluded, access guaranteed for Golden Dome facilities and any other basing needs. Sheesh TDS is a powerful drug.
I'd lean into it. Let's make talking points of Puerto Rico, Guam etc...

Boffins never change. Hugely intelligent people, devoid of wisdom. AI researchers are simply the latest, most dangerous iteration of the type.
We've all come across them.
Say what you want about us humanities grads, but at least we won't be responsible for our extinction.
If that meets your bar for evidence then I think they're better journalists than you.
This comes from a good place I'm sure. And it's enough for the converted, clearly.
It's not actually evidence though is it? These are all secondary sources, ultimately resting on his contemporaneous narrative.
It's worrying that so many cannot recognise that. A choice perhaps.
One of the first "outrageous" claims I saw as Jason Arday's media hounding unfolded was that he ran 30 marathons in 35 days!
Wow!
What a thing to claim!
And the newspapers all suggested there was no evidence he actually did it.
Well, they clearly didn't look very hard 🙄

In the longer run, the overreach regarding this story might kill the whole movement dead. After all, the vast majority of them have no principles. Once the general public have decided their take is batshit they'll recalibrate.
One might describe that approach as cowardly. 🤷♂️ #Fıfaworldcup2026 #ArgentinaVsEspaña
Assuming this model is correct. We still can't affect the necessary change alone. We're the Maldives as per sea-level rise, with barely more influence.
Research? Indeed. But he focus must be mitigation now, for everyone. The main players are going to keep playing regardless.
The collapse of the AMOC, the warm water currents system that keeps Western Europe warmer than Eastern Canada, is such an economically existential risk to this country the British state needs to have a serious grip on research about it. It’s a huge national security risk and needs to be treated as such. If this research is correct that a collapse of the system becomes locked in if emissions continue to rise throughout this century this needs to be front and centre of public awareness why Net Zero is so important to our wellbeing.
