Hab die Lage gerade durchgehört. Eine klare Hörempfehlung.
Besonders gefreut hab ich mich, dass @annettedittert.bsky.social wieder zu Gast war, es macht einfach Spaß ihr zuzuhören wenn sie UK erklärt. Und es gibt auch mal gute Neuigkeiten… 🥳

If you believe this, I have a bridge to sell you. The prime directive of the Conservative Party is to get and hold power. The idea that it would risk throwing away the opportunity merely because it involved an albeit uncomfortable arrangement with another right-wing party is clearly for the birds.

The moral arc of the universe is long but it bends towards Jeremy Clarkson spending decades denying global warming only to sink his fortune into a farm just as global warming really starts to kick in

Badenoch would do a deal with Reform in a heartbeat, no matters what she says.

Useful things are happening recently on the right, with prominent figures drawing a line under the racism: Jacob Rees-Mogg, Nadhim Zahawi, now James Cleverly. Tentative sense of a social and moral norm being re-established.

One of the most interesting debates in current international security is the degree to which we’re reliant on undersea cables and the degree to which these aren’t at all protected! I spoke to @katjabego.bsky.social about her excellent new book on the subject.

As I've been saying, and Simon Nixon appears to agree:

This is just depressing. And I do not understand why Labour seems to let it slip. It’s not in Britain‘s, let alone their own interest.

This is almost certainly true, and the UK fails women refugees in multiple ways, including by refusing safe routes to come here, wrongly rejecting asylum claims, barring family reunion & not recognising trafficking victims promptly or at all. If only Mahmood had the power to do something about this

Von hier aus die #Brandmauer zu @dielinkeberlin.bsky.social zu betonen, zeigt einmal mehr #Merz vollkommen fehlgeleitete politische Strategie, vom Instinkt ganz zu schweigen.

@annettedittert.bsky.socialOct 4, 2026, 6:54 PM

Indeed.

@annettedittert.bsky.socialOct 4, 2026, 2:02 PM

💯. It’s not just stupid electorally. It’s utterly shameful.

@annettedittert.bsky.socialOct 4, 2026, 6:56 AM

Sehr wahrscheinlich. Wir sind dran.

The ability to pour hundreds of millions of pounds into a loss-making TV channel, bent on wrenching British politics sharply to the right, is yet another of the ways in which extreme wealth is trying to remake UK democracy. It needs to be part of any serious conversation about political funding.

@annettedittert.bsky.socialOct 3, 2026, 12:35 PM

You do !

@annettedittert.bsky.socialOct 3, 2026, 12:02 PM

Ein tolles Publikum. Hat großen Spaß gemacht. 🙏
