Donald Trump is the reason your bills are going to rise.

Repeated appearances suggest a conscious editorial decision at GB News that talking about migration + demographic change as 'genocide' + positing that it will inevitably lead to violence against the white group is a legitimate part of the mainstream political discourse

GB News is platforming an extremist narrative that is central to the socialisation of violence, including to the terrorist rampages in Europe and New Zealand & the USA

"There's a genocide happening in this island because it is being taken over by dffiferent people that are not indigenous to this land"

"I would love to know where you are planning to go when they really turn on us. Because it has happened before + will happen again"

on May 01, 2003, George W Bush gave a "Mission Accomplished" speech on an aircraft carrier:

"Major combat operations in Iraq have ended. In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed"

the actual Iraq war ended in 2011

Shouldn't have joked - they got stuck on the runway for two hours while the military suspended all flights!

An hour apart. Perhaps we should stop treating the mindless weathervane spinning in the breeze as if it has a clear strategic direction we can ascertain.

The grim choice facing the Trump administration: Economic or naval collapse? The Trump administration is currently trapped between the specter of a global economic recession and a naval catastrophe.

The Trump administration is currently trapped between the specter of a global economic recession and a naval catastrophe. And it’s all Trump’s fault.

The radicalised Elon Musk is now much more likely to retweet than to suspend the most racist voices who want to deport every migrants & all minorities.

Musk says the choice is "you either fight back or you die"

His active choices - not just his inaction re his legal duties - fit the definition

it's no big deal 🫣, you can still get connecting flights via Dubai (my parents are travelling back from Australia via there today! πŸ™).

People in Britain need to be really clear that the reason they are about to be worse off is Donald Trump and his enablers.

Which leading economies will pay the biggest price for the Iran war? Not the US, it turns out

Great to end my first week on the @financialtimes.com economics desk working on this story with Sam and Myles

New Quinnipiac poll shows Trump continuing to crater:

37-57 overall approval
39-58 on economy
38-57 on handling of Iran

The kicker: 55% say Iran did NOT pose an imminent threat to the US, while only 39% say it did

He's really settling in at that 38% number on many fronts, isn't he
