Faiza Shaheen cooked the executive vice chair and head of Palantir Technologies UK.

"Our main news this morning is a former NATO secretary general saying Britain is not safe.. Lord Robertson also took aim at the amount of spending on benefits" The ruling class wants us to be angry at the sick, disabled, people on poverty wages, pensioners, rather than at them

Those who campaigned and voted in 2014 know only too well how Labour were willing to work with Tories. It should be no surprise that they are also willing to do that with Reform, who have replaced them.

Applebaum's line is the one to hold: "If Orbán can lose, then his Russian and American admirers can lose too." The model was supposed to be unbeatable. Capture the courts first. Then the media. Rewrite the electoral rules so challengers need a landslide just to break even. Build the international network of illiberal funders and validators. Make corruption invisible by making it structural. Magyar beat it anyway... and the tapes that broke late in the campaign showed why it was vulnerable. Orbán spent 16 years railing about foreign interference - Soros, Brussels, migrants - while privately telling Putin he was the mouse to his lion. The sovereignty rhetoric was a performance. The dependency was real. The crowd at Heroes' Square Friday night chanted "Russians, go home." Same words as 1956. Seventy years later, same answer. The EU's blocked €90 billion Ukraine loan now has a path. Putin loses his primary EU veto. The MAGA movement loses its proof of concept. History does not bend. It gets pushed.

Obscene thing to say. If you must, say, “I’m sorry but Ukraine is not our problem; we have bigger issues to deal with; Europe should step up”. But to say you’re proud of starving a country of help in the face of lethal aggression? Just don’t understand this man’s morality.
