The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago today was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want -- But inflation! But wokeness! -- but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made.

This is what Reform means when they say we should run britain “like a business”

Businesses cost cut, aesthetic & cultural beauty, where not required to sell products are always cut.

They hate British culture, they want to asset strip us and sell us for parts to Americans

The Transit Worker's Union just lobbied the state to outlaw automated trains. If you think union interests always align with the public good you're naive.

1000% this. Merrick Garland has a lot of responsibility for what's happening right now. Dems stating in plain terms that they're going to bring the hammer down on these criminals could, out of sheer self-interest, put some guardrails on the administration's current criminality.

Wild. Corbyn is clearly closer to Farage on Europe, economic nationalism & Ukraine’s war of self-defence. And they are quite similar personalities, being privately educated and at sea in policy details. The proper position is to be equidistant (and very distant) from both.

Well hmmm. Graduate salaries are converging on minimum wages so this is less and less of a good deal.

In the meantime pensioners get the triple lock until the heat death of the universe

[Lord Bethell @JimBethell]

When I was life sciences minister, I would meet with companies keen to invest in UK companies and jobs, to ask them how government could help.

Every single time, they said “planning”.

Every. Single. Time.

Visas. Grants. Licensing. Regulation. NICE. MHRA. EMA. EU. They were all second order. The main problem was availability of space and the problem of building new space.

Every. Single. Time.

Crazy clown stats here:

📉London housing starts fell 38% in Q1 2025
🏙️Last year tall building permissions fell from 21 to 6
🚧Just 14% of Gateway Two applications (146 of 1,018) were approved last year
🛑Gateway Three, ostensibly the final formality, approved just 7 of 40 cases

These photos are not only disgusting on their own but metaphors for Trump. He destroys everything he touches: Democracy, the rule of law, international alliances and most important, he destroys our relationships with fellow Americans. He is un-American and yes, he is a fascist.

I don’t see the appeal of building Roman architecture in the United States. It’s not really part of our history. When I think of traditional American architecture, I think of this:

[sam @discoplomacy]

<5:30am, wake up
<deep breaths
<open British papers
<“Chancellor pleased with 0.000001% growth”
<“Minister gets basic arithmetic wrong”
<“Tony Blair wants Digital IDs”
<“Civil Servant briefed against by No10”
<“Govt sells Scotland to Turkey”

<will it ever change, anon?

🚨Doctor substitution🚨

“Enter NHS as a HCA ➡️ Diploma ➡️ NA apprenticeship ➡️ NA ➡️ Top-up BA ➡️ RN ➡️ Masters ➡️ ACP ➡️ Work as a *doctor*

No need even for GCSEs, let alone systematic study of anatomy or physiology”

If only we had doctors available to work as…doctors 🙄

[James Surowiecki @JamesSurowiecki]

If this happens, it will be a level of corruption honestly unimaginable in the history of the U.S.

[scary lawyerguy @scarylawyerguy]

When the Obamas installed a swing set for their kids and Michelle Obama planted a vegetable garden on the WH grounds it was a massive scandal. Trump is literally destroying the building itself and the media just shrugs it off.

[k @kurtos]

during the government shutdown trump has:

-given 20 billion to Argentina (then doubled it to 40b)
-freed disgraced congressman George Santos
-refuses to swear in Adelita Grijalva (who promised to vote for release of Epstein files)
-bought Kristi Noem 2 private jets
-and now THREATENS to release diddy

good job america

Trump has discovered forms of looting no one ever even thought possible.

[Matthew Gertz @MattGertz]

Lot of making fun of the No Kings rallies but when George III wanted money from the British treasury he needed to get Parliament to approve it.

Ten thousand people working on just 1.8 acres of land. The modern skyscraper is a technological and organizational miracle.
