Prediction: I wouldn't be surprised if #Trump announces that the #MidTerm #Elections in the #US were being cancelled due to #NationalSecurity reasons (his catch-all phrase for doing anything). He knows the Elections are going to be really bad for him and a bloodbath for the #RepublicanParty.

Why aren’t there any election safeguards in place on @bsky.app - I’ve seen various clearly false polls being shared in regards to the upcoming Gorton & Denton by election.
Sharing misinformation about by elections ought to be a criminal offence - and that includes sharing false information about polling intentions

Apparently Cornyn is a “Revolutionary Hero”
Instead of a man who voted against Labour more than almost any Tory MP and attempted to remove every single leader he worked for.
And then lost 2 general elections to the very worst Tory Party in our lifetimes.

We need an effective nuclear deterrent defence strategy at European not state level. This possible agreement is going the right direction.
A lot of chatter about Swedish nuclear signalling. Looking at the PM's comments this week, seems very clear to me he was talking about expanding co-operation with UK/French nuclear forces rather than trying to hint at a Swedish nuclear programme. breakingdefense.com/2026/01/swed...
Sweden weighs Franco-British nuclear weapons cooperation - Breaking Defense
"I say that when we joined NATO, we are fully involved in all discussions, including those in Europe revolving around nuclear weapons," Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said.

No reaction from the US free speech warriors.
Instead, Republicans from the US House judiciary Committee subpoenaed "Europe's secret censorship order to X" by which they mean the Commission decision to fine X a fine of 120 mio. Euros.

Orban is blaming all his woes on Ukraine. He's already blaming Ukraine for electoral interference and will call the election results fake because he's going to lose.
Hungary’s government launched a national petition against financial support for Ukraine. The Orban-backed initiative urges citizens to reject funding the war, supporting Ukraine’s state budget, and price increases linked to the conflict. #Ukraine
