The next war won't be won by armies, navies or air forces alone.

It'll be won by the country whose 19 year olds can code, whose factories can build drones in weeks not years, and whose grid stays on when someone tries to switch it off.

Industry. Society. Economy. That's the fight now.

We're not ready. And we're not being honest about what getting ready will cost.

Lib Dem leader @EdwardJDavey on Labour's collective essay crisis: "It gives new meaning to the phrase drone warfare".

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

This week alone:

DOJ opens an investigation into the woman Trump raped.

The White House is caught steering a $620 million contract to Don Jr.’s firm.

The Pentagon hands out a $10 billion contract after Trump buys stock in the company.

Foreign governments are caught funneling hundreds of millions into a random JPMorgan account tied to Trump’s “Board of Peace” with no oversight.

It’s just Thursday.

The corruption isn’t hidden anymore. It’s happening out in the open.

@Ed_Miliband Stop talking shite.

@tjmcat @GeoffWrigh3712 @TimesRadio @CalumAM Thank you. This.

[zigzogpog @mdws876]

@Ed_Miliband Read Tony Blair's note. He's right. You're running UK into the ground whilst importing products and energy from other polluting nations. So globally it's just as bad for carbon, but UK just gets poorer.
How can Labour be so lame. It's tragic.

🚨 SHOCKING — These are the exact same Reform activists who flood X every day screaming, lecturing, and telling everyone how Britain should be run…

Yet 24 hours after getting elected in Kirklees, they stand up in full council and admit:

“I don’t understand the Constitution…
I don’t understand standing orders…
I don’t understand what an amendment is.”

Then they whine it’s “not democratic” they might vote on things they don’t understand

This is the terrifying danger of populist rage politics: loud online warriors with ZERO clue how to actually govern.

Handing real power to people who don’t even know where to start is how countries collapse.

Asante @WilliamsRuto, asante Kenya!

[zigzogpog @mdws876]

@MerrynSW Nor any of the opposition party leaders....polanski? Farage? Kimi? It's such a shite line-up. I think I'd stick with Keir as least worst option.

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

Another hit for Russian backed candidate Mr Farage. A real newspaper might have devoted a front page or two to his five million quid “gift for security” (sic) Amazing what can happen when the son of a KGB agent owns a paper and Thailand crypto billionaire gives money to burn

Hey @grok, did the Department of Defense hide a 32,000 gallon oil spill for 3 months in Maryland wetlands recently? Very concise.

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

I know there is a lot of news around but can someone at the Beeb explain to me how a man they keep telling us might be the next PM getting an undisclosed donation of FIVE MILLION POUNDS from a Thai based crypto dealer (with a BS explanation about it being for lifelong security) is not even a news story when the man he wants to replace led the news for days over some glasses and Arsenal tickets?

[Gordon Fielden @GordonFielden]

This may well be the most effective dismantling of a journalist by a politician that I have seen in recent times. I say that with full consideration of the context. On LBC, Lewis Goodall appears to steer the discussion towards a predetermined conclusion, presenting assertions that do not align with the available facts and constructing a narrative that does not withstand scrutiny.

In doing so, he goes as far as to suggest, almost to press for, the establishment of a Privileges Committee to investigate Keir Starmer. Yet the substance of that demand does not appear to be grounded in evidence, but rather in the continuation of a narrative that he himself is attempting to shape.

There is a consistent pattern in his approach. Wherever he appears, there is a tendency to impose a storyline that extends beyond what the facts can reasonably support. If one were to look for an example of the more troubling aspects of modern political journalism, this would be difficult to overlook.

I used to think @lewis_goodall was the future of reasonable, impartial, non-sensationalist journalism…
What the hell has happened to him? Is it just a case of chasing ratings or is something bigger going on?
