🚨 @Lord_Sugar in Sun Times “Leaving Europe is the worst thing I have experienced in my whole time in business.” “Johnson and Gove should be in jail. As a chairman I am obliged to tell the truth to my shareholders.” “If I lie it’s a criminal offence. Politicians lie to the public — their shareholders — and get away with it.” “All that bullshit about the 350 million quid going to the NHS after Brexit.” #rejoinEU

@DouglasBShaw In my experience, most of IR ignores nuclear weapons altogether.

Most of IR encodes nuclear weapons incorrectly into their models.

At yesterday's Unite the Kingdom rally one speaker said: "It's not too late to get Islam out of that building (Parliament)" "It is not to late to get Islam out of every single official office in this country" "It is absolutely vital, if we want to save this country, we have to remove Islam from every single place of authority" If these comments were directed at British Jews, they would rightly dominate headlines nationwide, because antisemitism is wrong. Anti-Muslim rhetoric should be treated with the same seriousness and scrutiny.

@alessionaval @TomSharpe134 @HoyasFan07 Imagine a system where projects relied on a single responsible officer who was both responsible and empowered to deliver; now we just have frustrated SRO enfeebled by those with the ability to interfere without having to deal with the consequences…

@TomSharpe134 @HoyasFan07 Indeed. It’s just mind blowing.

A decent tweet before the last sentence - when it became another performative moment. Stop. Doing. That. Get. Serious.

@alessionaval @HoyasFan07 The extraordinary thing about this is that ‘the system’ advising thinks this still works. Worse, doesn’t realise just how far a little bit of ownership and leadership could go just now. Amazing.

No American president has ever sought to benefit so directly, and so immediately, from his own political decisions. Unprecedented

UK coup resignations: Blair - 7 ministers in 2006 Corbyn - 17 in 2016 coup & 10 quit the party in 2019 Johnson - 48 ministers over 5 days in 2022 Starmer - 4 ministers. Streeting's alleged 'coup' fizzled out. Puts it in perspective.

THE MAN WITH THE TINY HANDS

This is an absolutely must read. I agree completely with @Ce_Moll. NATO needs to go through another adaptation so NATO tools can be used to help Allies organize a more Europe heavy deterrent force. No time to reinvent the wheel, do it inside NATO!

The full thread on this astounding story is at this tweet link! x.com/pinstripedline…

Actually, this photo is PROOF that gullible dimwits will believe a Shakira concert in Rio is London and it will be wildly shared and liked because Musk's X is designed to encourage and reward such lies and misinformation.

@russellquirk It’s not tittle tattle whe you deliberately publicise a falsehood. Which is what you did. You obviously lack the basic standards required of the post.

An old French lady had a small shop in her village for years until one day a huge corporate supermarket set up across the road from her little shop. They put up signs advertising their prices, including one that said: Butter – 10 francs. In response, the old lady added a sign to her own window: Butter – 9 francs. The next day, the big supermarket had a new sign: Butter – 8 francs. Sure enough, the day after the lady’s sign now read: Butter – 7 francs. This went on for a while until eventually one of the lady’s customers pointed to the sign and said, “Madame, you cannot keep your prices so low for long. These big companies can use their buying power to sell products cheaper, but a little store like yours can never compete.” In response, the old lady bent forward conspiratorially and muttered, “Monsieur, I don’t even sell butter.”

"What Putin feared most was not military strength alone, but the unity of democratic nations. ... I am convinced that Ukraine will win" - Giorgia Meloni Prime Minister of Italy Thank you for your support 😉

Just a friendly warning. We don’t even make $200k per year in Congress despite working nearly 140 days. If we aren’t properly compensated, a lot of us will go to the private sector and you will be left with some real idiots in Congress.

@DefenceGeek @Lesserof2weevls That’s the problem with the current incumbent. He’s a serious man in a deeply unserious country. We get the politicians we collectively deserve.

What is that makes @bbcnews think that “politician is interviewed by political correspondent” is news?

.@LindsayHoyle_MP Dear Sir Lindsay, Helen Whately is misleading the House. No one EVER got a Motability car for tennis elbow or acne. She presents no evidence because there is none. She is lying to whip up hatred of disabled people. Please refer her to the Privileges Committee.

I see Tufton Street understands nature is a vote winner since we all rejected their anti bat campaign so now they are trying to fool you by framing the same anti-nature deregulation as wildlife friendly. Don’t fall for it. These people want your green spaces destroyed for profit
