In the last 24 hours both Donald Trump and Nigel Farage blamed NATO for the Ukraine war, speaking Russian propaganda lines exactly. If someone screams loudly and exactly what they are…you are best to believe them.

thank goodness he's not been responsible for making urgent serious decisions ...

Bold strategy, given what went up during the Conservative government.

They've done it. They've finally gone lower than the bottom of the barrel.

what a pity Rishi Sunak is unlikely to be there to see it

this excellent piece by David Edgerton accurately identifies just what sort of conservative party it's become. Electorally, that may work. But has it any clue how to run its devolved Union, other than winning a bunch of Scottish MPs? There's little sign it does.

the objection is presumably to the speed, doing in days what's taken the Conservatives years to achieve

and if you're a multisquillionaire living in free accommodation in central London, who's enjoyed two very rapid promotions due to chaos in your organisation and who can return to California when it doesn't work out, perhaps it is

🤯 when a Conservative cabinet decided the party was more important than the country’s well-being. Astonishing moment from Tim Shipman account of May’s Brexit travails in Spring 2019. (Fall Out, p.485)

Austerity has fundamentally cracked our country’s public services. It harmed us all, those with least the most. It set the context for Brexit, our Covid response, the return of mass child poverty, our NHS crisis. On July 4th please remember: we are all still living with it. 3/3

absolutely this!

People are growing thoroughly fed up of a system that they don’t think is working, and increasingly opting for populist parties (or not voting at all). This is not funny. Countries only do this when they’re in extreme distress.

if a serious figure in a party thinks 'strength of conviction' trumps 'policies that can actually be implemented', 'policies from which there are more winners than losers' and 'competent people making policies happen', they're going to be out of office for a long time

Liz Truss, who lost her seat in the general election, giving advice to the Tory party on how to win elections

The war will indeed end, with Russia's conquest and annexation of Ukraine. This endorsement of Vance by Lavrov should be taken in deadly earnest.
