- '..the current political period is so neuralgically wearisome, like being trapped in a nursery not just full of, but run by, angry screaming toddlers. It also brings us back to 'counting to a hundred' which..a wiser American President, Thomas Jefferson, advised the very angry to do before speaking'👏🏼
- Count to one hundred. New post on my Brexit & Brexitism Blog reflecting on a frenetic fortnight of domestic and international news, the state of the reset, the significance of the latest calls for 'proper Brexit', and the anger suffusing our politics: chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2026/02/coun...

- Many of us were furious about the appointment of Mandelson at the time. Why did Starmer still appoint him?
- How can Starmer talk of 'values' which he abandoned? I'm sorry I believed his 10 pledges! He broke them all. I don't trust a word he says now. He's pushed Blue Labour's populist radical right agenda to appeal to Reform, 'normalising' fascistic rhetoric & supporting Trump & Israel trampling on RoL?
- I supported Starmer's 10 pledges in his leadership campaign. E.g. Starmer pledged to Promote Peace and prevent illegal wars, and: 'put human rights at the heart of foreign policy' E.g. Starmer pledged to Defend Migrants' Rights! 'An immigration system based on compassion and dignity' -He broke them.
- Starmer's [Blue] Labour brand is done! Love @zoesqwilliams.bsky.social passion on 'values'! E.g. [30mins] Labour's mimicking Farage & far right. Mahmood's language makes me sick too. And focus groups say the same, they're done with Labour & "going @zackpolanski.bsky.social" and @greenparty.org.uk 💚

- @rafaelbehr.bsky.social: 'The concentration of digital power is...wielded by companies whose bosses are, at best, quietly complicit in Donald Trump’s assault on the US constitution and, in the case of X’s Elon Musk and Palantir’s Peter Thiel, vigorous advocates and enablers of the new US despotism.'
- 'Is it a problem that Musk, the world’s richest man, uses his personal social-media megaphone to promote racist conspiracy theories and boost far-right insurrection across Europe? Is it relevant, when Palantir is awarded contracts to develop IT systems for the NHS and MoD, that..
- ..the company [ #Palantir] has built apps for ICE, Trump’s anti-immigration militia; that it feeds them federal data to locate potential targets? Does it matter how much leverage an elected prime minister has if those tech behemoths take against him? ..
- ..Those are not questions of free speech but sovereignty, which is something Conservatives used to care about.'
- Trump's SO bad!! But evil triumphs..
