I think the media and opposition parties, including the Lib Dems and Greens have gone too far with their attacks on Keir Starmer this week.

#Bitcoin falling off the cliff.
Now at $66k.
Fun fact: it costs $55k to “mine” one bitcoin and it takes a long time.
Many “miners“ have invested heavily in equipment and have real debts in real currency in real life.
Once the value goes below 55, it will be mayhem.

Keir Starmer has earned some credit on his foreign/Ukraine policy for me.
This Mandelson thing is something that is going to roll on now especially with a police investigation— more headlines to come.
But I can't imagine anybody handling Ukraine/US better.

To be fair, Welsh government has refused to use Palantir. If Reform was to win in May, expect that to end. Another reason to hope Plaid Cymru wins.
