I think witnessing Brexit as both insider & outsider had a profound effect on Mark Carney. His resolve in the face of the next stage of the attempted destabilisation of the West might even be described as a ‘Brexit benefit’!

The ravings of a madman. But I’m just worried, given this manic obsession with “fake” polls, whether he’s about to invade Polland. I’ll get my coat!

In other news, I was inadvertently racist at school, I inadvertently lied about my house purchase to avoid tax and inadvertently led a party that was infiltrated by Russia.

Palantir software is now the basis of the Government's fraud reporting service. So it now handles sensitive financial data for millions of UK citizens. Plus NHS data. Plus military analytics. Plus policing.
And, of course, it's quite explicitly far right in its politics.
What could ever go wrong?

Even after Trump is gone, the world will remember that he threatened to forcibly seize the territory of a peaceful democratic ally, and our institutions failed to immediately remove him. That makes US dangerously unreliable, not just one senile gangster.
His not being impeached by the end of the business day as a result of this threat is as much a problem as the threat itself. It’s not just Trump that the world has to worry about, it’s a GOP that supports him and Democrats who suck their thumbs and refuse to even discuss pushing to remove him

I'm not the biggest NATO fan... But the fact that *that idiot* wants it to make it easier for Russia to get Ukraine makes me a little more fond of it.
I'd rather us join back with Europe, honestly.
Brexit was caused by Russia and I will die on that hill.
