This is going to blow your mind, but it turns out that this free speech warrior doesn't actually support free speech.
Kemi Badenoch: “If you look at the reasons that the Israeli govt had given, they do not believe they are going to comply with their laws.

“I believe [MPs] should be able to go anywhere in the world and people not be worried about what they are going to do.”

A gem of a podcast particularly in these troubled days - informative and engaging. Highly recommended!
Whilst media falls over itself to argue that #LePen benefits from this, back in Jan Thom Reilly observed that her deputy Bardella had said if she was convicted she shouldn’t be allowed to run. Listen here:

Impressive support for Marine Le Pen so far. From the far right in Italy, the far right in Hungary, and her niece.

Oh, and the Kremlin. 😬 ~AA

Good thread - facts matter!
The Telegraph recently ran a headline:

"More than one million foreigners claiming benefits."

Sounds shocking, right?

But what does it actually mean?

Let’s have a look!

Climate change has been abandoned by the Tories. Reform never believed in it.

But this is what Labour have done so far for our environment, in just 9 months 👏👏👏

Solbergs skatteløfte: Kutt på 30 milliarder
Vi trenger en økonomi som kan bære en krig, sier Høyre-leder Erna Solberg. Hun vil styrke forsvarsevnen, kutte i offentlig sektor og gi skatteletter på minst 30 milliarder kroner.

Per Fugelli sa at velferdsstaten er "nestekjærlighet satt i politisk system". Ikke la privatisering og jag etter penger få overta for nestekjærligheten.

Hope everyone in the UK remembers what Elon Musk is doing to the US government the next time Domminic Cummings writes a 30,000 word blog post on his plan to replace all the "NPCs" in Whitehall with 19 year old Nazi superforecasters.

Sorry for making you look at him but yet again, as with Peterson, Musk, Montgomerie and so many others, the turn to the hard/far right begins with obsessive transphobia. It might be the primary driver of rightwing radicalisation over the last decade. They always bring it up.

Far-right polemicists like Douglas Murray help elevate populist arseholes like Trump to positions of power.

His saying a good thing once - because the leopards he supported are threatening a group he likes - should not result in reasonable journos forming an orderly queue to guzzle his ballsack.

Meninger: Bruk 1000 milliarder på å styrke Ukraina og Europa
Dette kan ikke lenger betraktes som en frenetisk feberdrøm. En slik sum vil nå være helt riktig for å sikre Europas suverenitet og forsvarsevne.

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

I want everyone who said they couldn't vote for Harris, because her policies didn't go far enough in one or several areas, and concluded "they're all the same", to make themselves a little scrapbook over the next four years.

Canada, Norway, Greenland, & the United Kingdom should become full members of the European Union. #Brexit was part of an ongoing plan to split & weaken the EU. An enlarged & reinvigorated EU would counterbalance the dark forces of world fascism assailing it from without & from within.

Vennligst – og jeg bruker mild riksmålsstemme her – be alle som mener at "woke" er en eksistensiell trussel mot liberale demokratier om å ta første buss for tog til helvete.

Dersom *woke* er det som holder deg våken om natten i 2025 burde du få prioritert utredning hos DPS, ikke boklansering.

Hovedtesen til Gjerde er at "wokeisme" er en illiberal, antidemokratisk og totalitær ideologi, som krever full kontroll. Jeg føres opp som en slags wokeist, fordi (1/10)
