Forcing a nuclear power into a currency crisis has never been done before for a reason: it's irresponsible and it accelerates the process of escalation without the benefit of directly hurting the selectorate on which his power relies.

I don't think people realise the implication here. Unlike the terror bombing of German cities [still considered a war crime], the destruction of Gaza is perpetrated with precision weaponry, over a short span of time, against a wholly defenceless population with nowhere to go.

In just under two months, IDF bombs have destroyed a comparable percentage of buildings in northern Gaza as WW2 allied forces achieved in the space of two years of carpet bombing German cities

The intentions behind running this story and framing it like this—in the context of Palestinians being detained, tortured and killed at great scale—are so cynical, vile and murderous. Hard to describe the hatred I feel for our lumbering imperial ogre and its mouthpieces.

After 10 years, I am proud to see the second staircase at Surbiton Station officially opened! It is fantastic to see constituents and commuters using the staircase and the benefits it is already having on improving congestion. Thank you to everyone that has made this possible!

Does Merz sometimes forget that he’s no longer some asshole in a boardroom? Who says that, as a national leader, about another country, a large and important one with whom Germany needs to deepen relations? Merz is a bad politician as a direct result of being an arrogant asshole.

The recent FT piece on Hamas made clear that the IDF know better than anyone that Hamas’s communication methods are almost entirely analogue. Shutting of all communications in Gaza has a very different, more sinister purpose.

NEWS: A group of Democratic thinkers are plotting to lay out a new agenda for the left. They’re called it Project 2029. Comes in middle of raging Democratic debate: whether the party needs better ideas or just better salesmanship to succeed in 2028. nytimes.com/2025/06/30/us/…

Not even Nazi Germany was fully exiled from the international monetary system. Bank of England and Reichsbank relationship persisted well into the 40s, while the BIS allowed the Reichsbank access to its clearing and settlement facilities throughout the entirety of the conflict.
