Oh, this one billion per cent! I’m absolutely disgusted with the Labour Party; even at my most pessimistic I didn’t imagine that they’d go so full-on Tory so quickly.

Oh, I realise that, but organising as a strong oppositional force is vital, regardless of congressional representation. The worst thing they can do is the British Labour Party strategy of acting limply on sidelines until the public get sufficiently disgusted by the incumbents. I’m not even sure...

Are the Democrats doing anything at the moment to show any level of opposition or resistance? Or have they resigned themselves to de facto “managed opposition”* status? * like the non-banned political parties in Russia which aren’t Putin’s United Russia party.

https://bsky.app/profile/politics.mirror.co.uk/post/3ljkcbpqvqa2v I mean, that’s rich given that Britain fully backed America in both Gulf Wars, Afghanistan, Serbia, etc, etc…

He wants to be a fascist dictator. That’s it: There’s no other motivation there, other than clinical levels of narcissism.

https://bsky.app/profile/eucopresident.consilium.europa.eu/post/3ljfr2o6ycs2b I feel awful for Americans here (as in most Allsparkers) for having to put up with a wretched, peace-wrecking head of government.

I mean, any post-Trump president, if there ever is one, would need to do massive amounts of diplomatic repair to intentional relations and alliances. “West Germany after WWII” levels of rapprochement and apologising.

I honestly believe that RFK Jr and people like him believe in eugenics and societal Darwinism; the whole point of removing vaccines is to weed out the ‘weak’ and ‘imperfect’. Unfortunately I think that the global pandemic likely radicalised such people further.

Oh man, the “Maple MAGA” premier of Ontario won an absolutely crushing victory there. Bleak.

https://bsky.app/profile/politico.eu/post/3lj3d43zsys2i Romania’s law enforcement aren’t going soft on the country’s Trump analogue.

https://bsky.app/profile/rdbinns.bsky.social/post/3liyizqa53k2a Every national newspaper today put a front page ad for a campaign against the UK government’s AI policies.

Urgh, the far-right AfD doubled their vote share and broke the 20% mark, and the CDU/CSU came first. SPD got their worst result ever, the Greens sunk, while the Left party got a surprising strong showing. The FDP are thankfully out of the Bundestag, sinking below the 5%, which serves them right...

Oh, I know! It’s the direction of travel that concerns me, as in Trump even more ignoring the rules and norms of the office. I’m a pessimist and even I’ve been shocked at what Trump has attempted in just four weeks. All bets are off now, it looks like basic constitutional rule of law is...

Incidentally, my assumption is that Trump is going to abolish elected state governors and replace them with direct appointees, as Putin did in his third (fourth?) term. I mean, I expected that he would at least attempt that before the end of his current term, but how things are going, he could...

Oh, he’s seemingly declared himself king on Twitter. Great.

Strongest condemnation of the Trump junta (so far) from this side of the pond is from a former Tory prime minister who was last in office back in 1997. The current fake Labour government seems more set on appeasement than anything else, most likely due to being stuck outside of the European...
