More on Labour’s Reform-chasing swing to the Right via the FT: International Development Minister Baroness Chapman says the days of the UK being “a global charity are over”.
She’s looking at slashing aid for education projects and feminist organisations.
Quote could have come from MAGA.

Germany’s Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution has designated the Far Right AfD as an extremist threat.
The party could now be disbanded (but won’t be). But expanded surveillance powers can now be used and civil servants may be barred from joining.

This week's column asks a question that should be in everyone's minds, as Trump reshapes the world's alliances:

The question no one dares ask: what if Britain has to defend itself from the US? | George Monbiot
So much of our intelligence and military systems are shared or reliant on the US – if it becomes the enemy, it is already inside the gates, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

This is big. Far-right troll site Guido Fawkes has always claimed it isn't subject to UK libel law as it's officially offshore.
Today it conceded that it defamed Dale Vince, making clear it it's subject to UK law. No more dodging scrutiny. Staines will have to play by the rules like the rest of us.

I have many friends, family and neighbors facing job losses and financial difficulties. My community is in turmoil. People in countries I care about are being abandoned. The values and principles I worked for my entire life for are being betrayed. Eventually, we’re all caught in Trump’s tsunami. 🧵
