As I wrote there, in 2017, "if I need to write any more near-future fiction, instead of striving for realism in my fictional political leaders I should just borrow the cheesiest Bond villain not already a member of the G20 or Davos." So I did just that (in the New Management books).

This entire “the sky is falling” post-debate narrative is about getting that atmosphere of chaos back by any means possible. It’s an abject failure of journalism and ethics boosted by a publisher who got his feelings hurt when Biden wouldn’t give NYT an interview.

Absolutely this. The BBC in particular need to significantly up their game now that Farage and Tice aren't paid pundits, but the equalivalents of Carla Denyer and Adrian Ramsey as senior figures in parties with 4 MPs. I'm not confident our media is up to the challenge.

Far too many cis people have opinions on "the trans issue" BECAUSE they don't know any trans people. Trans people are just people. Trans kids are just kids. They're being abandoned and some of them will lose their lives as a result. Please share the linked news article. Thanks.

They’re gonna ban TikTok because the KPOP army made fun of his empty rally that got his internet guru fired. The right made one of the world’s richest men buy Twitter because we were bullying fascists and organizing. American journalism has become almost exclusively transcribing tweets.

And yet more evidence Stephen Miller is driving the bus. No way did Trump himself write this. He loves Project 2025 (so does Miller for that matter). And you can always tell when it's staff work. Abysmal isn't in Trump's lexicon.
