Interviewing a govt minister Hazarika shows a graph comparing young people claiming PIP to the size of our armed forces & declares it "tells a story about modern Britain" I can't even make a sarcastic comment about our fearless fourth estate, because Hazarika is a Labour politician

The post said a cross-border trade in Sally Rooney’s books had emerged after they were removed from UK distribution over her support for Palestine Action.

Journalist to Hegseth: “Mr. Secretary, are you Vladimir Putin’s puppet on Ukraine? Mr. Secretary, is Vladimir Putin playing you like a fiddle?” Good job, Britain! That’s how it’s done. Video: Sky News
“For decades, the right has set the boundaries for what Britain’s safety net can be. The conventional wisdom is change can only go one way: the benefits system can become more punitive and error-strewn, but never more compassionate or accurate.” Today’s col. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
The author claimed that novelists were now banned in Britain for their political opinions, adding that the opinion at issue was opposition to a genocide. #LibertéDexpression #Censure #Littérature #GB
Again, there was almost no public element in this: no organic surge in public opinion to demand it. It was simply imposed upon Britain by the world’s most hateful and poisonous media outlets, by leaning hard on our ever-compliant political leaders, who are always happy to say yes to the tabloids.
Feel a lot of pride about the way Britain has responded to Trump's attacks on Ukraine, repeatedly launching big symbolic demonstrations of solidarity when things are at their most tenuous.

New post: "Drowning in slop" Large parts of the state are being increasingly overwhelmed with complaints, appeals, objections.... written by AI. It's gumming up every process. Britain is particularly vulnerable. How bad has it got and what can we do about it? samf.substack.com/p/drowning-i...
Farage/Johnson/Brexiters hate the Brexit Russia connection… this is why… “Isolation from the rest of Europe is the result that Britain’s enemies wanted in 2016. Sticking to that path is the route they would choose for Britain again today if they had a vote.” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Instead of arguing about what happened 10 years ago, perhaps the British debate should focus on 1) the very real threat emanating from Russia NOW, including but not limited to disinformation 2) Britain‘s future strategy in a geopolitically turbulent world which makes Brexit look even more absurd
The author argued that antisemitism had become normalised in Britain, pointing to a cartoon in The Telegraph as an illustration. https://t.co/gwAsyCsu5C #Antisemitism #Britain #Cartoon #GB
Burnham started his much-needed assault on Brexit yesterday by confirming Russian interference in the vote. Now this: “In a statement to MPs, Andy Burnham will argue it is time to "face up to the reality that Brexit has done more harm than good" and "the status quo is not good enough for Britain."”
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham revealed that there is evidence of Russian interference in the Brexit referendum and warned of similar operations in France and Germany, which provoked sharp reactions from the pro-Brexit group Britain Unbound. #Brexit #Rusija #Dezinformacije (translated)
