Apparently the the classic Donald Trump assessment by Nate White, is difficult to read in an AI poster format, so here is it again in narrative form👍

As I rant and rave about that awful human being Donald Trump on a daily basis, I often return to reading Nate White’s assessment. It never grows old and the accuracy and truth it conains are confirmed every day 👏.
I've mostly avoided Rod Liddle pieces but this is good on the ineffable sadness of watching people you care about, and the world at large, change into something you no longer recognise. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
I knew Rod Liddle and hated what he became. He would have wanted me to say so | Zoe Williams
A man who prized blunt speaking has been selectively eulogised. There’s a balance between decency and honesty: I’m sad he caused such harm, says Guardian columnist Zoe Williams

Paul Marshall, the co-owner of GB News, has tripled his hedge fund investments in fossil fuel companies in the first quarter of 2026 to £2.1bn. They're a propaganda channel cashing in on destroying our future. Always follow the money.

IF WE TOLERATE THIS is out today! These are worrying times politically but if there's one thing I want to get across, it's that the slide into far-right nationalism is not inevitable. Please help me spread the word. uk.bookshop.org/p/books/if-w...
Fantastic piece (and great related thread by Katherine - it and the replies are worth your time also):

SHOUT OUT to Mike Luckovich: one of the all-time great political cartoonists. 🏆 With corporate media doing such a poor job in these most perilous of times, his work is more vital than ever! THANK YOU @mluckovich.bsky.social!!! 🙏
Long overdue for The Spectator's Islamophobia to come under the microscope. Excellent piece from Peter Oborne here doing just that. It is now, he writes, just "an upmarket version of GB News" (same owner, of course)
Exposed: The Rabidly Islamophobic Magazine at the Heart of the British Establishment
For almost 200 years, 'The Spectator' stood for civilised, bravely heretical discourse. But a new report reveals how it now spews out anti-Muslim hatred week after week to its upmarket audience

I wasn't aware The Spectator backed the Great Reform Acts, opposed the Vietnam war, supported legalising homosexuality, fiercely opposed the Blackshirts and later Enoch Powell's racism etc. You would never imagine the mag would espouse equivalent progressive views today.
zeteo.uk/p/exposed-th... excellent piece on how this ‘right wing propagada rag’ has normalised racism and bigotry 👏

Very sad to hear about the arrest of Andrew Tate. He has been charged with rape, human trafficking, controlling prostitution and actual bodily harm. I once described him as "an important voice for young men", which tells you all you need to know about my moral compass.
".. the US military & the US govt have refused to tell us what happened that day in February & the president is denying, doubting, deflecting" Part of a report by Mark Stone on the US bombing the Iranian school & killing 120 young children.
Funnily enough I don't remember Andrew ever expressing these concerns the last four times a Conservative MP became Prime Minister outside of a general election.
The USA is a place with no healthcare, but 1000 billionaires. At least 49 of those billionaires made all their money from Private Healthcare. Perhaps you can connect the dots.

The positive of Balogun is it's the first time a Republican has intervened to reduce a black man's sentence.
They used to claim Patriot Front was the FBI doing false flags. I guess they can’t use that anymore so now they’re Antifa.
