Do you know who also gave away his Nobel Peace Prize? Knut Hamsen.
Not familiar with the name? Perhaps you'll recognise better who he gave it to.
Dr Joseph Goebbels, in 1934.
That ended well.

As Robert Jenrick jumps ship, Reform’s “new politics” looks more like a spin cycle for the same people behind 14 years of decline.

It’s important to note the UK has multiple, strong laws against creating both CSAM and generating sexualised images of women, especially for the purposes of harassment. And it has the Online Safety Act, too.
This isn’t about needing new laws. It’s simply about enforcing existing ones.

Ofcom, which enforces the UK's Online Safety Act, says it is aware of "serious concerns" about Grok undressing people including children on X
“We have made urgent contact with X and xAI to understand what steps they have taken to comply with their legal duties to protect users in the UK," it says

When people argue that renewable energy sources are too expensive, remember that we don’t invade countries to seize wind farms and there are no solar cartels. Fossil fuels have enormous geopolitical, public health, and climate externalities.

People wondering whether the US is going to be able to "run the country" of Venezuela at "no cost" might like to remind themselves it's a place one-third *larger* than Afghanistan, the running of which cost the US $2,260,000,000,000. (That's $2.26 trillion).

Comparison to Panama 1989: in that case US courts had indicted Noriega for drug trafficking, and Panama had declared a state of war with the US and had killed a US Marine. No comparison really
Kidnapping the leader of a foreign state without any declaration of war and announcing it via social media is full-on rogue state stuff. From the world’s number one superpower.

Been watching the BBC coverage for 15 mins and there's no mention yet of the illegality of US intervention under US law [let alone international law]. Can't help think that Trump's lawsuit is causing them to feel unable to report what is happening properly.

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.

🚨 “Can I tell you how many times in the last 45 years the European Court of Human Rights has ruled against the UK when it comes to deporting people from this country - only 13 times - in 45 years”
Please remember this in 2026 when Nigel Farage tells you we must leave the ECHR to control our borders

Human rights are universal - politicians may not always find them politically convenient but it shouldn’t fall to any government to say who those rights should & should not apply to. Because none of us then has rights, just privileges that can be taken away by those in power
