Our dear leader shredded this morning on the US NPR comedy talk show "Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me": "The Brits first realised something was up with the party that wasn't a party when they saw pictures of Boris Johnson with his hair combed..."
"Why does he always look like he's been on a three day bender?". "Is that at the start or the end of the party?"
"Or do his parties always take place under helicopter blades?"
He also has multiple children...has lost count
And so it went on. It was very funny. Except it's really not, when it's your own PM, and your own country suffering from the international ridicule his behaviour invites.

Rant alert. Mega rant alert. How about our leaders stop wringing their hands, issuing feeble criticisms , and actually DO something? Stop the moral equivalency, stop pretending we’re helpless. There’s plenty we could do if determined. Here’s a list for starters 🧵
We could stop selling arms to Israel, consistent with U.K. arms policy which supposedly prevents sales to countries where they could be used for oppression and human rights abuses. We’ve surely gone beyond the doubting stage?
We could establish a no fly zone over Gaza, as we once did to protect Kurds in N Iraq from Saddam Hussein. We protected Israel from Iran. How about we protect Palestinians from Israel?

Yesterday I posted my outrage at this @thetimes and @Channel4News exposure of royal family finances. I regretted my intemperate language and so deleted the tweet. But, re-reading the reports again, I feel there are ample grounds to be genuinely shocked. Consider these snippets 🧵
The Duchies benefit from favourable tax terms, which give them a competitive edge over other private businesses or property holders. Image

They make money off the state, including schools, hospitals, prisons and even the armed forces, there to defend the realm of which they are head, and in whose forces they have served. Image

My head today: I’m not sorry Nasrallah is gone. I’m worried about regional escalation. I’m anguished at so many civilian deaths. I’m worried there’s no exit or end strategy. I don’t support Iran, or Hamas or Hizbollah. I don’t like Netanyahu. I abhor occupation of West Bank 🧵
I dread what might happen to the hostages, if any still alive. I fear for my friend Nabil, and his family, in Gaza. I fear for chaos and more loss of life in Lebanon. I also understand why so many in the region are celebrating Nasrallah’s death.
I’m glad if Iran regime is put on the back foot. I’m glad they don’t have a nuclear weapon. I’m worried more terrorist attacks will occur. I believe Netanyahu is motivated by his own political agenda. I hate the settlers. I understand why Israel had to respond to 7 October.

I’m voting @LibDems. Fortunately, in my constituency, they’re best alternative to Tories anyway. But Labour cowardice and dishonesty on Brexit deserves to cost them votes. Just because I blame the Tories most for our current plight doesn’t mean I must let Labour off the hook. 🧵
It’s tough to write this, because I want Cons to receive historic thumping, and I certainly don’t want to give the snake oil candidates of Reform any opening. I support Starmer as our next PM. But dishonesty over Brexit will handicap ability to grow UK economy and improve lives.
Until our politicians address the elephant in the room, UK governance will continue to stumble and lag, and more warped policy making will ensue, trying to paper over the damage and lies of Brexit, rather than properly redress them.

I wasn’t always this way. I was once a loyal civil servant, trying to do my job conscientiously. Even after I resigned, I largely kept my head down, until the growing dysfunction and dishonesty in govt compelled me to speak out, and say “this is NOT normal!” It’s been a journey🧵
@mrjamesob on @TheNewsAgents recently described how it wasn’t even Brexit per se that bothered him (tho’ he personally opposed it) but the way in which it was delivered and the ensuing damage to Uk democracy and institutions which outraged him most. I feel exactly the same way.
There are days when cold fear grips my insides at the internal chaos inside UKand US. The world is on fire, authoritarianism on the rise, international order breaking down, polarization, extremism, disinformation, cultural wars. It’s 1938, but no Churchill or Roosevelt in sight.

I remain flabbergasted at the Tories’ gall in continuing to claim black is white, up is down, etc, including the ludicrous claim that they are good stewards of our economy, which has allegedly “outperformed” other major economies. Read this BRUTAL extract from today’s WSJ: 🧵 Image
“Britain has had one of the worst performances of major economies since pandemic, with lower growth, higher inflation and weaker investment than its peers.” “Britain also suffered one of the developed world’s highest per capita death tolls in first year of the pandemic”…
“Economic performance can seldom be tied to any leader’s specific decisions, and the shocks of recent years hit almost everyone. Still, Britain has been uniquely bad at coping with them”….
