I expect this was prophesied. Anyone know where or when?
THREAD:
1. PERSONAL NEWS:
Today BBC News has announced plans to close @BBCHARDtalk after 3 decades holding the world’s politicians and powerbrokers to account. This is sad news for me personally, but much more important, I think it’s depressing news for the BBC🧵

Great thread from an novel perspective:
A brief 🧵 about Brexit denialism currently suffocating the country.
1/19 As a psychologist, I am all too aware that, when faced with emotionally challenging issues and threats, facing them can be very scary and the temptation is to avoid. Can entire nations act similarly? Yes.

I can declare that I have never departed from this position.
15/19 So what practical steps can we do right now?
First, we just need to TALK about, and keep on talking about, how much Brexit is a disaster. Stop being embarrassed about it. Just keep stating this obvious truth as often and openly as we can.

This is a terrific and important piece; read, share and discuss: After the riots, Keir Starmer should tell us the truth about our country. This is why he won’t | Nesrine Malik | The Guardian theguardian.com/commentisfre…

And when they try to avoid even that …
🧵Anatomy of a Tory political cover-up
On 13 May, Rishi Sunak gave a v long, important speech about Britain's security to a Policy Exchange audience.

Fantastic thread here. It might start negatively but it ends with a banger that many of us might have missed.
Can we...just accept that we suck at this?

Great analysis of the current Iran-Israel chest beating, face slapping and face saving here:
"WW III is starting" discourse is going to ramp up in the next few hours, so here's how things will REALLY work.
