This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

Isolation of this scale will come at a massive cost to the British economy. Britain’s enemies are overjoyed and eager for Nigel to finish the job.
I'm not sure how much it is appreciated that there will be significant emigration coming. Those here on graduate visas coming to an end, the toughening up of skilled worker rules re. salaries/sponsorable roles and the 'earned settlement' changes to come. Lots of people are going to leave.

MPs… Ragingly racist and prejudiced MPs… making money from X.
Lowe. Farage. Tice. Anderson.
If ever people say they speak for them, remind them of this. No. They do not. They speak for themselves. They speak for their bank accounts. There’s money to be made from keeping people fearful and angry.
Human trafficking.

Rupert Lowe makes more money from using Elon Musk’s website than any other MP.

There is money to be made from mass deportations and talking about mass deportations.

The purpose of Twitter is not to convert the likes of you to Far Right ideology. Rather, it is to ensnare the weak-minded inside a fascist echo-chamber within which they can be controlled, even, should circumstances require, be mobilised. Not for thinkers like you or me. Well done for leaving.

Happy to report that Twitter is obsolete. Threads is working beautifully for chiming into popular culture trends with strangers. LinkedIn is your friend for when you want to impress your network. And Bluesky is here to share philosophical thoughts with the 2.4 academics you admire. *chef’s kiss*

The sad truth is the world in 2025 makes perfect sense. Just forget every lesson from the last 80 or so years, and there you have it.

Bluesky isn’t dying. Free speech and academia are dying.
The strap for this piece says it all: “Which is a shame, because I don’t want these people back on Twitter”

But yet again, we have a piece about Bluesky ‘dying’ from someone who:

- Hasn’t integrated at all in Bluesky
- Doesn’t like Bluesky
- Has a vested intereste in X success

🧵
Someone has to say the obvious, ie that the real irony is that this home of racist and fascist-adjacent writing is opining on who else is or is not 'nasty'.

I wonder, if we all really have more in common than divides us, wouldn’t we all be commemorating Jo?
9 years ago today, my colleague Jo Cox was murdered doing what she loved - serving her community.

Her compassion, courage, and belief that we have more in common than that which divides us remain a guiding light.

We remember Jo, and we recommit to the politics of hope.

What if these bogeymen do not exist. What if this is just the economic status quo?
Probably the most dangerous thing in politics is when a leader needs conflict - when he depends on conflict for his political power, maybe knows no other way to hold on to power.

“Cultural appropriation” is a really essentialist, flat, and uninteresting way of understanding the fact that cultures are alive and in dialogue with each other.

Now that Brexit is done and dusted, is it time to have a serious discussion about treasonomics?
The primary constraint on UK trade policy is gravity: the relationship with the EU will always be the most important one. Disregard this and you're either indulging in escapism or putting ideology over economic interests.
