Nobody’s ‘taking’ except you. You demand that women and girls give up their rights and spaces to you. You insist there are no contexts in which a man shouldn’t be considered a woman if he says he’s one. Your aggression, entitlement and overreach brought pushback. This is on you.
This war is about things Kyiv can't give Moscow, even if wanted to, while the collective West could load Kyiv's side of the table with big bargaining chips Russia really wants. Imagine we'd been there in Istanbul, in good faith, all the different outcomes there could have been.
“We are independent country … the rhetoric of 'sit and listen' is not working with us,” says Zelensky in a Ukraine Radio interview about the possible pressure the US might exert on Ukraine to reach a peace deal with Russia in light of Trump’s victory. This rhetoric was aimed at…
The perpetually offended have flocked to create their own safe space haven and crashed it with unprecedented amounts of complaining.
Pete Hesgeth’s tattoo, short for ‘Quem deus vult perdere prius dementat’ - whom a god wishes to destroy they first make mad.
The debate over this stuff is so frustrating because the pro- side can reasonably point out that it's not inconceivable that there were possibly three black guys in the New Model Army or whatever. But as everyone really understands, that's not what is going on here.
Newark Castle. I did write to no avail to suggest they may be confused with the American Civil War ..
Georgian elx is over. CEC official declared GD winner this morning. Yes there was abuse & fixing but GD seems to have legitimate won. What is at issue is the size of their margin not the win itself. Focus s on the fixing but little attn paid to opposition failure to campaign…
🇬🇪 Georgia’s democracy is at a crossroads. The international community must NOT legitimize a parliament born out of election fraud. A rigged process cannot produce legitimate governance. 🧵 Let’s summarize what’s happening and what’s at stake. 1/6
Revealed preference of both parties is they're happy with the collapse of A&E in England - both parties have prioritised private health for ILLEGAL immigrants straight off the boats - neither have acted to fix the collapse of ambulance service - you're safer in many Third World…
Ukrainian ambassador in Berlin Oleksiy Makeyev has published an op-ed in the Zeit calling Russian opposition march in support of Ukraine scheduled for tomorrow “a walk without dignity and consequences”. He says Navalnaya (whose husband perished in prison), Kara-Murza (who…
I am afraid Volodymyr Zelenskyy is completely right. We risk drifting back to the ghastly Franco German Normandy format which treated Russia and Ukraine as equally valid interlocutors in a domestic squabble. That is a shameful betrayal of the reality - that Putin has launched a…
Chancellor Scholz told me that he planned to call Putin. His call, in my opinion, opens Pandora's Box. There may now be other conversations and phone calls. Just a lot of words. And this is exactly what Putin has long sought. It is critical for him to weaken his isolation, as…
When Czechs, Germans, Austrians, French and British are dying under Russian, Chinese, North Korean and Iranian missiles/drones and their men and women are in trenches all over Europe, they'll remember the leaders that saved 0.5% of GDP doing deals with Russia.
Love Mandy or hate him, he is a cut above almost any current Labour frontbencher. The analysis here isn't even especially brilliant but it isn't histrionic moralising, which immediately puts it in the top 10% of British comment on Trump.
"Calling Trump an authoritarian fascist is all hyperbole." Lord Peter Mandelson dismisses claims that Trump fuels 'fear and division,' noting that most Americans care more about living costs. @lewis_goodall
Ukrainian MP Yevhen Shevchenko getting jailed for calling on Zelensky to begin dialogue with Putin. He is facing treason charges.

In 1846, the peak year of the Railway Mania, Parliament mandated 9500 miles of railways. HS2 is 140 miles. Imagine a country with less than a tenth of our GDP mandating 67 HS2s in a single year, and one begins to have a sense of what sort of people the Victorians were.
As we head off to the Lincoln Theater for tonight’s @TheRestHistory Washington DC live show, good to see @dcsandbrook rocking the attorney-to-one-of-Nixon’s-aides-during-the-Watergate-scandal look
Somewhere in a parallel universe, Britain’s Conservatives cut taxes, deregulated after Brexit, closed govt agencies, deported radical imams, cut net migration to 50k a year, gave a green light to shale gas. Per capita GDP is 30 percent higher, and they just got reelected by…
This morning, Russian Gazprom stopped gas supplies to Austria. Austria's close cooperation in gas imports, which had existed since 1968, first with the USSR and then with Russia, came to an abrupt halt within 3 days. ◾️ How and why did it happen? On November 14, Austrian…
