Mortgages are 7%. Your dollar is losing value every day. Higher Education is being threatened and talented immigration disincentivized or banned. The President is manipulating markets based on bad policy and ideology.
This is not a good road we are walking down

Defending the crimespeak laws on national TV. What a disgusting cretin

Pretty embarrassing day for Trump. Threw a tariff tantrum and couldn’t even move the market 1%. Bonds flat. No juice left.
Made sure your dollar was worth less, though. On account of America being run by a moron. Enjoy the long weekend everyone!

Someone ask the Singaporeans how long it would take them to install an escalator in a railway station.
I bet it’d be on the order of days, not ~1 year

Cutty Sark station will be closed from Sat 31 May 2025 until spring 2026. This is because we're installing four new energy-efficient escalators at Cutty Sark station to improve your journeys. Plan your journey ahead 👇 tfl.gov.uk/travel-tools

He was the opposite of "schooled". He asked what it said about the justice system that we punish speech more harshly than sexual offences, & the reply was that the justice system punishes speech harshly. Which was precisely his point!

Hmm. The barrister sounds good but didn’t actually answer (evidently he’s a good barrister!). The Q is is it right that in our justice system Lucy Connolly does more time than Telford child abusers. Replying by describing the sentencing framework, then saying “educate yourself”, just describes the decision, it doesn’t answer the Q of whether her offence should be more harshly punished than sexually abusing children. #bbcqt

Honestly we should just throw out the Lord & elect a new set of hereditary peers chosen at random among the population
The current honours system is riddled with corruption

Michael Gove has been introduced to the House of Lords and given the title of 'Baron of Torry'. Everything that is wrong about British politics in one sentence.

Awful news. How can an autocracy be co-owner of a newspaper? By changing the law to allow this, Starmer may win more Emirati “investment”. But failure to defend democratic institutions (like a free press) will leave UK poorer in the long run.

MAGA is doing everything they can to make sure no one who cares about progress, technology, discovery or American exceptionalism has a home on the right. We ought to be doing everything we can to make sure those people have a home on the left.

Mauritius was able to capture the Chagos Islands and defeat the British without firing a shot. There's a potential paper to be written applying the Chinese 'three warfares' framework (public opinion, psychological, and legal warfare) to this case.

Generally, while I might disagree with Labour’s decisions, I can understand why they are making them. The Chagos surrender is so mad, its cost so high, its consequences potentially so severe that it sits alone as an inexplicable act of national self harm. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/…

I am getting rather fed up with Britain being pathetically humiliated. It didn’t used to be like this, and it doesn’t have to be like this.
What’s the appropriate diplomatic response if someone wants our territory?
Sod off.

Starmer has signed away the Chagos Islands.
Defeat. Surrender. Humiliation.
Resign, @Keir_Starmer.

Pretty clear that the Foreign Office is now an active threat to the British national interest. Mauritius has no native population. It is also an Indian 'settler' ethnocentric state where the non-Indian population are actively discriminated against.

Surely our most humiliating day as a nation since Suez.

The “handover” of the Chagos Islands today marks the most calamitous foreign policy decision Britain has made in some time.
Represents thinking from a bygone era: a time of ‘Cool Britannia’, the 90s, and global norms. That era is dead.
The new era will punish this decision.
