🍄‍ The last remaining treaty limiting the number of nuclear weapons the US and Russia can have pointed at one another expires next week. It will be the first time since the '70s there is no legal limit on the US and Russia's nuclear arsenals. I've made a whole video about it.

I could see Andy Burnham ripping up the ban on new oil licences backfiring massively. Neither our politics nor our media are set up to represent people who care about the climate crisis. It will seem like an easy win to many in Westminster. I’m not so sure.

It’s worth noting that the noble “anti-sleaze” candidate who keeps getting discussed, Martin Bell, wasn’t just a symbolic candidate. He took every opportunity to vote to maintain homophobic policies whilst in Parliament. Seems like an important part of the story.

🗑️ Why is there no white knight of Clacton, a Martin Bell of today? Could it be Steve Rosenberg? Or Martin Lewis? There's been much chatter about an anti-sleaze candidate to take on Nigel Farage but it won't happen — here's why. Latest @thetimes column thetimes.com/comment/column…

Real potential sequence of events: - The BBC propose a Newsnight special. - Nigel Farage refuses to do it. - The BBC try to cancel but there's public outcry. - It airs with just Count Binface and a bunch of *really* fringe candidates*.

I've just been trying to think of weird small parties to see if they're running or not. Sad to learn the "Cannabis is Safer Than Alcohol Party" stopped existing over a decade ago.

The James O’Brian Centrist Dads would love it because they could be all “haha, Mr Farage [pronounced like “garage”] couldn’t beat the binman”. The kids love it for the memes. But there’s also a way in for the anti-establishment voters (not all of whom actually love Farage).

If Zack Polanski goes for it himself, the line from Labour very quickly becomes about him and Farage being two sides of a populist coin. If the Greens don’t go for it after not putting up a fight in Makerfield, their momentum begins to look like it’s really running out.
Aaron Bastani@AaronBastani

I’m sure it’s a minority view but Polanski should GO FOR IT. Clearly Farage will win, by a large margin, but it would show a fearlessness big two don’t have. Farage has decided to put the spotlight on himself for a month. Why wouldn’t you?!
