It is incumbent on every single decent-minded, responsible British citizen to do *everything* they can to prevent Farage from gaining power. It couldn’t matter more for the future wellbeing of our country. Him as PM is too grotesque for words. Trump is a genuinely comparable case study.

The Chagos Islands deal: a mini explainer

The Chagos deal isn’t a giveaway but a long-overdue reckoning with colonial crimes, legal reality, and the price of military legitimacy

Our member @abigaildisney.bsky.social has a message for leaders at World Economic Forum in Davos: Extreme wealth threatens global stability and our shared future.

That’s why Abby and nearly 400 millionaires from around the world signed our open letter calling on leaders to tax the super rich.

🚨The Petition calling for by-elections to be called automatically when MPs defect to another party is now closing on 80,000 signatures!

Let’s get it to the 100,000 needed today!

When even millionaires, like us, recognise that extreme wealth has cost everyone else everything else, there can be no doubt that society is dangerously teetering off the edge of a precipice.

Nigel Farage has a Russia problem, and this week, it got bigger.

I can hardly find the words for this
This is a truly horrifying account of increasingly likely collapse of essential natural systems which would bring mass food shortages, price rises & global disorder. Commissioned from UK intelligence chiefs but scandalously suppressed by Govt, & sneaked out now while attention is elsewhere 👇

This must add to the case for a nationally televised @nebriefing.bsky.social. Be interesting to see what if any coverage it gets in the news when the BBC etc will be paying attention to Davos, Greenland etc.
🚨 BREAKING 🚨
The UK Govt has quietly published - without announcement - the Joint Intelligence Committee/DEFRA report it suppressed last October. They tried to sneak it out in the midst of crisis. Read and share:

“Global Biodiversity Loss, Ecosystem Collapse & National Security.”

Thank you so much to @zackpolanski.bsky.social for inviting me onto his podcast. We talked about critical issues the media & political establishment is ignoring such as the extraordinarily dumb & dangerous UK defence deal with Peter Thiel’s Palantir
"Peter Thiel... the founder of this company, does not believe in democracy"

Merseysiders in my network. Did anyone attend the ill-fated Hope and Glory Festival in Liverpool in 2017 that had to be called off part-way through because it was so dangerous?

Keen to speak to anyone who was caught up in it for a new piece. Give me a shout, thanks!

also, side note, but why are these deranged outbursts by a deranged racist & misogynist ‘embarrassing’ for Starmer, who’s trying to prop up a security alliance in the face of madness, and not ‘embarrassing’ for the journalists working on these stories who’ve done so much to sanewash Trump?

not only is this an appalling take which attacks Starmer for the actions of a lunatic and not the lunatic, but also strays well beyond ‘unbiased’ reporting

If what is really going on here is a rapprochement between the US and Russia, then Canada is target Number 1. In which case, you definitely want to take Greenland first, preferably peacefully, before the world sees the game.
