Tito Mboweni was a really good man, completely honest, remained steadfastly loyal to old friends and comrades, and, most importantly, loyal to his principles. He made a huge contribution in getting the post-apartheid democratic government up and running.

THREAD: 1. PERSONAL NEWS: Today BBC News has announced plans to close BBC HARDtalk after 3 decades holding the world’s politicians and powerbrokers to account. This is sad news for me personally, but much more important, I think it’s depressing news for the BBC🧵

Lesson 1: When someone tells you who they are, believe them. This week, Trump told us who he is. Believe him. If his adminstration picks look like a plan to destroy America from within, it likely is. 2/

2. Journalists will be first. But everyone else is next. How do we know this? Because it always is. It's the authoritarian playbook. Lawsuits are first. Prosecutions are next. America needs to learn these moves fast. It's already later than you think. 3/

3. To name is to understand. This is McMuskism: it’s McCarthyism on steroids. Political persecution + Trump + Musk + Silicon Valley surveillance tools. A new technofuelled age of political witch-hunts. 4/

If you'd like to stay in touch, pls sign up to my newsletter. We've seen what Musk has done. And Guardian, in this moment of crisis, is seeking to sell our dearly beloved Observer, my home for 19 years. We can trust no single platform nor publisher. 🙏 substack.com/home/post/p-15…
