And where are the consequences for people like Gove who voted for it? Trying to make out he’s the wise observer afterwards is just gaslighting us.

This deserves more attention than it has received.

Gove: "we were too anxious as a government to secure those deals in order to show that Brexit was working".

Exactly as so many of us warned at the time, and as the government denied at the time.

This is a must-read for anyone interested in politics (and the UK, particularly). The assertion that 'home is a place you understand and where you feel understood' is especially poignant in these times.

Liberalism in the end times

In an age of populist revolution and radical upheaval, can the centre left do anything more than survive?

BREAKING: President Obama issues a stark warning—authoritarianism isn’t creeping anymore, it’s sprinting.

Around the world, leaders are silencing dissent, controlling media, and twisting justice into a political weapon. His message is clear: democracy won’t survive if we stay silent.

The creation of this kind of sneering narrative is as sad as it is predictable. Get real! Brexit is a verifiable and total shitshow! Not the fault of Europe or the French!

Since the Brexit referendum, the Telegraph has become the Pantomine Dame of confected outrage against the very thing it fought for and continues to uphold. The new Schengen Entry and Exit System isn’t sound border management but a “pointed insult”. Hilarious.

The #NathanGill story, #ReformUK bribes from Russia and Farage being bessies with said #Gill? Nah, we should really bury this story! Lest we forget, #Farage was in the pay of #RussiaToday for several years.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Isn't it about time that rich political busybodies who do not live in the UK and do not apparently pay UK tax should butt out and stop 'bending' the democratic framework? Harborne (and - for that matter - #Johnson) should absolutely fcuk off.
