Giving a speech where you compare yourself to two now very unpopular Prime Ministers - Thatcher and Blair - is not good politics.

The only PM I remember Thatcher referring to was 'Winston,' a PM who remained popular until his death in 1965. #newsnight

The appeasement narrative makes no sense in relation to Russia/Ukraine.

The invasion has demonstrated the limitations of the Russian state's ability to wage war.

The idea that Putin would, with this information, go further, is dubious in the extreme. #bbcqt

Are we all supposed to get tiny violins out for millionaire farmers?

I have absolutely no sympathy with those seeking to avoid inheritance tax.

If you're seeking to pass on an estate worth over £3 million why should you be exempt?

This is not a good idea.

In Sri Lanka, the socialists have gone from 3.8% of the vote and 3 seats in 2020 to 61.6% of the vote and 159 seats in 2024.

A rejection of the political establishment in Sri Lanka and a mandate for radical political change.

The hubris of these people is primarily responsible for our failure to collectively challenge Thatcherism, which remains the most significant defeat the working class have suffered since the General Strike.

"Those who profess to favor freedom and yet deprecate agitation are men who want crops without plowing the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the roar of its mighty waters... Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never has and it never will."

Good news: Twitter is collapsing.

And this chart doesn't even show the last two weeks—which have seen the largest exodus in site history.

There are reports from Newsweek and others that Twitter may merge with Truth Social.

If that happens, the last collapse of Twitter may happen almost overnight.

I'm really hoping this is like what Twitter was like when it was good.

I'm also hoping it won't take as long to build a following.
