Well, it looks like we've been contextualised here. No pointing fighting on after this. I really thought we'd got them beat with the intermittency point but I guess I didn't factor in the irony. Pack your bags boys; war's over.

This is the best thing i've read on *why* the British right are still so hung up on oil and gas, despite the North Sea's increasingly diminishing returns. There is something about fossil fuels that is inherently more amenable to nationalist imaginaries break-down.org/return-to-trea…

I remember reading on here that someone said "The impression Truss gives is that she’s so eager for American money and approval because she’s perfectly willing to do Britain down in return. It all feels a bit grubby." Couldn't put it better myself.
Tim Montgomerie 🇬🇧@montie

From LibDem to Cameroon to Tory Right and now to what is actually the fringe of American conservatism, Liz Truss is just a grifter. She's now gone to the only place on the political spectrum that's mad enough to invest in her. We see you Liz, we see you.

Beijing is not sitting there thinking: how can we subsidise a pluralistic world order in which others flourish under our benevolent umbrella? It is thinking: how do we secure supply chains, avoid encirclement, & increase dependence on us without incurring reciprocal obligations?

The "rules-based order” was never some free-floating moral architecture. It rested on a very material foundation of American power and the willingness of Washington to bear disproportionate costs because the system also advantaged America.

Step 1: underwrite the third world Step 2: squander your shipping privileges Step 3: give away your oil reserves Step 4: ??? Step 5: embargo your most important ally Step 6: put a gun in your mouth and pull the trigger

@Felixhardinge Hunt is a really curious case. Genuine success outside politics, a decent man, and pretty competent by current low standards. Yet somehow less than the sum of his parts.

I think the striking thing about this discussion was that I don’t think Hunt brought up what he would do for the British voter (in terms of safeguarding their prosperity) once.
Steven Edginton@StevenEdginton

David Starkey's interrogation of Jeremy Hunt was a masterclass. Hunt was defensive and I think rather shocked to be challenged from the right. David exposed Hunt's centrist worldview as a total fantasy, and inherently anti-British (and pro-global welfare). Hunt was very dishonest in his assessment of 14 years of Tory rule - somehow they had boosted defence spending, saved the economy and made Britain economically secure for the next few decades.

It’s also funny how the audience didn’t appear to be humouring him with the whole bumbling Englishman act, I suspect everyone is thoroughly pissed off (and poor)

There was a vague gesturing towards leaving the ECHR “because the public wants us to”. And of course much talk about “international obligations” and “being strong on defence”

The EU regards this as a timely mea culpa from the UK, and the start of reparations for the harm it believes we inflicted by leaving. Sadly, millions of Labour, Lib Dem and Green voters (along with quite a few Tory MPs) see things the same way and will support it as such.
Daniel Hannan@DanielJHannan

This is beyond humiliating. “The agreement would establish a permanent mechanism for an appropriate financial contribution of the UK towards reducing economic, social and territorial disparities between the regions of the EU, applicable to the electricity agreement and any further agreement affording the UK access to the Union’s internal market. The financial contribution of the UK should appropriately reflect the relative size of the UK’s economy and the proportion of the internal market in which the UK aims to participate in line with consistent EU policy.” Starmer wants to pay Brussels to run our affairs. order-order.com/2026/03/30/lab…

How do you do the Stephen Fry driving the black cab act across the United States and pronouncing “aluminium” differently when you’re best known for grooming gangs or this?

I think it was @PYeerk who said the reason why British liberals despise Elon Musk and X it’s because they can’t pretend the UK is wibberly Hobbitville anymore when the British state institutions does stuff like this.
Professor Lucy Easthope@LucyGoBag

I had missed this and it’s shocked me to the core. It’s been my life’s work that this should never happen. It’s in every university training I do. It’s in the national guidance for Universities on tragedies like this. How the hell did this happen?
