Lords Heseltine & Kinnock seem more alive to these self-evident truths than most members of the Commons. Similarly, I find thinkers with direct lived experience of far right dictatorship, Greeks of a certain age for example, crystal clear about what’s happening now.

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

“Because that’s what they are”

@vicderbyshire.bsky.social asks Lord Heseltine about remarks he made at Conservative Party Conference.

Bondi can’t contain her hostility. But she also can’t stop lying through it all.

Be suspicious of any bailouts he offers to farmers. There's got to be some kind of financial incentive for him and his friends.

Not sure about the weapons gig, He could still raid the treasury and sell off property. The only way I can see through this is to hit his fellow oligarchs where it hurts - in the purse. At least hopefully THAT wouldn't turn violent! I'M A PACIFIST AND DONT BELIEVE IN WAR OR STATE SANCTIONED KILLING!

THAT would probably start a civil war - those red states and the federal government need our taxes to exist and run appropriately, and to leave enough from which the tRump criminal regime can fleece us further!

Protests in the street will only galvanize FOTUS further to invoke the Alien Enemies Act and call for martial law, which will immediately void our constitutional rights, and so aren't the most appropriate remedy. I think the power of the purse would weigh more. Boycott everyone but local! 🎈🤡 🎪
