Imagine the boost in the polls Labour would get if Starmer banned Twitter and told Trump to do one.
Musk and Trump must be two of the most hated people in the UK.

Standing up for international law means condemning leaders when they break it whether that’s Vladmir Putin or Donald Trump.

I really enjoyed this. Very informative. I remember boggling at that Chavez show during a (very frightening and ill thought out) week's stopover in Venezuela, where I owe my life to the Venezuelan people who helped me. Those people must be so scared now. I hope that they got out.
🚨🚨EMERGENCY EPISODE🚨🚨
Very few people can claim to have met and known 🇻🇪's Maduro, Chavez & interim president Delcy Rodriguez. Well, my guest @catheriner.bsky.social, former 🇬🇧 ambassador in Caracas, is one of them and she spoke to me earlier today.

It’s not that simple. I’m not saying I approve the action, but does Starmer want to appear to be siding with Maduro’s regime, or the democratic opposition in Venezuela, whose leader Maria Machado just won the Nobel peace prize. What happens next is crucial.
The US attack on Venezuela is an illegal act of aggression against a sovereign country (with lots of oil). Venezuela has become a more deeply repressive dictatorship & urgently needs democratic solution but this is unjustified & unjustifiable. Look forward to seeing swift UK Government condemnation.

Before Twitter was taken over by a Nazi: Twitter is not Britain, you see.
After Twitter became X, home of the Nazis: we have to stay on Twitter, because that's where Britain is.

I love the idea that governments have to stay on Twitter because that's where "their audience" is.
Like if you only announced your cabinet reshuffles on Bluesky Harry bloody Cole wouldn't make an account to read about it.
