Patrick Henningsen: Trump is running the government...

Trump is running the government like he ran his businesses - into the ground: The reason many of his shady businesses failed was due to fact he was notorious for not paying his bills and then filing for bankruptcy and then living off restructured banker loans (bankers likely blackmailed). Looks like he’s applying this same dirty formula to his failing Presidency, what a disaster this is shaping up to be…

Ben Judah: I want to stress British Jews…

I want to stress British Jews are super concentrated in NW London. there are only 250k of us. Roughly around 100k of us live in this area and surrounding areas. It’s like a small town that’s now under sustained attack. This is the heart of the community and every connected Jew across the country will ties, friends, family here. It’s not felt like disjointed and episodic attacks but like small town the size of Worcester is under attack by an IRGC-cut out.

Chris Williamson: If what @Siobhain_Mc…

If what @Siobhain_Mc says in this short clip was true we would've had a Labour govt since 2017. ▪︎ Our energy and water bills would be considerably lower because the utilities would've been nationalised. ▪︎ Higher education would be free because tuition fees would've been abolished. ▪︎ Train fares would be lower because the railways would've been nationalised and the rolling stock would've been updated. ▪︎ NHS waiting times would've plummeted because the privatising spivs would've been kick out of our NHS. ▪︎ We'd now have a free social care service. ▪︎ The housing crisis would've been eliminated because there would have been a renaissance in council housing. What Siobhain conveniently forgets to mention is that she actively worked against Jeremy

Liz Webster: While British farmers are asking…

🚨 While British farmers are asking “can we even afford to produce food?” amid fertiliser, diesel & energy crises… Today’s Times business news: “Chicken King” 2 Sisters Food Group profits jump to £108m (from £35.5m) and they announce £1.7bn investment. Farmers squeezed at the bottom. Processors & supermarkets thriving further up the chain. This is exactly why the food system is broken.

Liz Webster: Remember when @Johnmcternan said…

🚨 Remember when @Johnmcternan said “we are going to do to farmers what Thatcher did to the miners… it’s an industry we could do without”? Well, here we are. The Times front page today: Britons braced for huge surges in salad, tomato & veg prices as fertiliser, diesel & energy crisis hits from the Middle East war. I also explained to LBC: no food production plan, farms ignored in Cobra meetings, Brexit barriers + reliance on world markets = Britain dangerously exposed. Farmers were right. This attitude is now coming home to roost. #SupportBritishFarmers #FoodCrisis #CostOfLiving #UKFarming

Liz Webster: There’s an uncomfortable point in this debate…

😣 There’s an uncomfortable point in this debate. @matthewsyed argues that modern politics is increasingly shaped by those willing to bend systems, not just follow them. 🔥 And that’s exactly the concern here in Brexitannia 🇬🇧 Bc what we’re seeing isn’t just a controversial Mandelson appointment, it’s a pattern that began with Blair’s Iraq decision. Decisions driven from the top processes stretched or overridden and outcomes justified after the fact. And now all of it in the context of a shift towards closer alignment with the US model.

Ben Judah: Reflecting on the State Visit to Washington…

Reflecting on the State Visit to Washington, there are only really two interesting things left to say about it. The first is to note the Royal Family’s rising importance in our diplomacy since the death of Elizabeth II. This is because of the rise of two sets of politicians: Gulf monarchs who view a relationship with the Royal family as part of their identity and pedigree and Trump and his acolytes. In all these encounters the King genuinely matters diplomatically. This has only increased as the political carousel has spun out of control with annual foreign secretaries and biennale Prime Ministers. The second is to note the extraordinary and rising power the King’s Private Secretary has — effectively the King in Whitehall — on all such matters and how these encounters are shaped. Truly the apex of Civil Service power and anonymity that role — entirely beyond Foreign Office influence, let alone an elected official’s scrutiny. I think those roles, with their curious heritage allowances, are by far the most desirable left in the system.

Andrew Bridgen: European anti-fraud office opens investigation…

European anti-fraud office opens investigation into Peter Mandelson. Peter Mandelson served as an EU commissioner for Trade 2004-2008. On his return to London in 2008 he was made a life peer and he acquired a London property for cash (no mortgage) for a sum of money which he had never received or declared the income to be able to afford ??? How do you think he was able to buy the London property in 2008 ? Does Mandelson need to be subject to an ‘unexplained wealth order’ ? What do you think ? Perhaps we could put one on his old friend Keith Vaz also ?? Mysteriously wealthy ?
