The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

The achievement of Serbian students overthrowing Aleksandar Vučić can't be overstated. In 2024, they began protesting. In 2025, they transformed a protest movement into civil dissidence. In 2026, they became a political party — and two months later, crushed a corrupt state-entrenched authoritarian.

there’s a ton of important detail in this first interview of Ilhan Omar since the homeland security raid on her house, including something she says almost in passing—she and her family have to move now, because her address was made public, and they receive too many death threats to stay there now

Amazing that Liz Truss has become international shorthand for total incompetence, a lasting global legacy across generations beyond any British Prime Minister since Churchill.

Does the UK government realise, I was asked yesterday in Brussels, that their actions on China are crucial for the future relationship. Unfair, but such is life as the smaller player, and probably not... www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Replying to @davidheniguk.bsky.social

There is also a belief in the EU that the Department for Business does not want a reset, an institutional view along with the Home Office making Number 10's job harder. All a reminder that EU relations are very challenging and still not really under control.
