The more I see this, the more surreal it gets. You could make a movie about an abjectly pathetic coward, and if you filmed this scene, people would call it over the top. The phrase total submission barely scratches the surface of how humiliating this is.

@Frances_Coppola True - a negative isn't nothing, but there's an interesting question about the nature of multiplication, and axioms in maths, beneath the way in which the OP expressed her POV.

@ProfMarkElliott Perhaps the policy can be viewed as containing fact-specific factors for proscription - if so, it doesn’t seem a stretch to say it limits the SoS’s exercise of discretion. If that’s right then relying on universal benefits of the statutory scheme might well be a red herring.

The High Court has held that the decision to proscribe Palestine Action under the Terrorism Act 2000 was unlawful. This post explains the court's reasoning and discusses some potential weaknesses in it; the government has said it will appeal. publiclawforeveryone.com/2026/02/13/the…

@Miss_Snuffy Those are distinct points. The presenter’s stance against generalisations re educational attainment doesn’t mean he thinks “brains” aren’t important… so being condescending (if he was) to someone being inarticulate, based on what they said, isn’t contradictory.

Labour don’t understand business. 2020 - to employ a 21 year old 40 full time would cost £17,035 2026 - to employ a 21 year old 40 full time would cost £29,600 A 74% increase. Meaning a cafe needs £400k extra turnover just to fund ONE job!

BBC: "is the Labour Party heading for civil war?" Thanks Andy. And the answer is no. We are at war with fascism, No?

@BBCNewsnight Unfortunately, his point falls at the first hurdle: no civilised nation would have taken such steps.

"If anyone other than Donald Trump had done this, [they] would probably have been received as an international hero." Alexander Gray, former Chief of Staff of the National Security Council in Trump's first term, defends the US President's seizure of Maduro. #Newsnight

Disappointed by the failure of the Prime Minister to clearly state that our closest ally has violated Article 2(4) of the United Nations Charter. Why have a lawyer as your leader if they are unwilling to uphold international law?

@Alexarmstrong Anarchy is not an antidote to the state of nature ... it's like trying to extinguish flames with a fire.

Studying political philosophy in international politics fundamentally changed how I see the world. It shifted me from a dogmatic leftist to a conservative realist by forcing one simple question: In the absence of authority (no police, no military, no laws) do humans 1. destroy and dominate or 2. live peacefully in harmony? This is the “state of nature”: how humans behave without restraint. History answers it clearly. Humans are inherently violent, which is why stable societies require conservative structures and values. If violence is not met with force, it is replaced by rule of the strongest. The “rules based order” has no teeth, neither does international law. It requires strength and deterrence to back it up or it simply falls apart. You can wish for a “Kumbaya” world but it goes against the very fundamental nature of human beings. It’s why socialism and communism NEVER works.

Germans suffered a “Nakba” after WW2 of far greater scale and brutality than anything that happened to Palestinian Arabs. Why do the great-grandchildren of the victims of this not go on psychopathic killing sprees in Prague? Why does Poland not have to build a border wall?

@lisakeb007 @Thunda007 @tomhfh Most at the top were born there; and their kids will stay at the top. Inequality was much lower in the 1960s and 1970s and people could afford homes... You can't grow your way out of these problems. The USA has a higher GDP than the UK but has a HUGE underclass.

@Thunda007 @tomhfh Then why not address it by helping people to climb the ladder of success rather than pulling down the people who, by their own endeavors, have reached the top?

@JakeWSimons It’s a perfectly valid question. We’ll see what happens at the end of the ICJ proceedings.

The right wing psy-op against Gary Stevenson is incredible. A ‘YouTuber’ who did maths at the LSE, economics MPhil at Oxford, traded for Citi and wrote a Sunday Times bestseller. A CV better than 99% of the people this account would lionise. It’s okay to just say ‘I disagree’.

🚨NEW: When asked for his intellectual influences regarding economics, Zack Polankski names two YouTubers and a Novara media commentator
