@ConHome @AndrewGimson Any analysis of Afghanistan that attacks ‘nation building’ and ‘Blairist illusions’ without mentioning Sierra Leone, Kosovo, Korea, Cyprus, West Germany etc. is intellectually bankrupt.

Another partisan puff piece that tells us nothing and obscures what is really important.

I don't recall any statement or policy by May as PM in July-Oct 2016 that reflected this aim to engage the 48% as well as the 52?

@thetimes I find this viewpoint most prevalent among those who've (a) had a big head start in life; or (b) are naturally smart/talented.

The far right seized on the 75th Anniversary to claim that it is time to replace the NHS with a privatised, social insurance model.

This thread explains what they want, how they lie to us and what we can do about it.

Amazed at the Mail, Telegraph & Spectator all running pieces today about how bad a NATO General Secretary Ursula von de Leyen would be & claiming Biden is backing her despite NATO having just endorsed Jens Stoltenberg for another year. Thousands of angry words, ignoring evidence.

Rising corporate profits were the largest contributor to Europe’s inflation over the past two years as companies increased prices by more than the spiking costs of imported energy. https://t.co/iEf6Emu0Rp

It is crazy how the antivaxx just don’t give up. They promised mass extinction events, widespread infertility, mutant babies. None of it happened and they’re still duping some of the richest, most gullible men on earth.

(3/3) In the constant contest between aviation measures and counter-measures, it is likely that Russia has gained a temporary advantage in southern Ukraine, especially with attack helicopters employing longer-range missiles against ground targets.

Socialism according to Republicans:

—Universal Health Care
—Investing in Clean Energy
—Expanding Voting Rights
—Getting Money Out of Politics
—Safeguarding Our Elections
—Defending Social Security

So basically anything that strengthens our democracy and economy.
