@steve_hanke This guy is famous for being a contrarian bullshitter. The problem of NATO expanding isn't that Russia felt threatened. It's that Russia can't bear nations to escape the Rusky Mir, the Russian sphere of influence. Russians see Ukraine as Little Russia. Theirs to bully forever

@RupertLowe10 Rupert - whilst you are on Twitter there's a potential policy for Reform I'd like to discuss with you Estonia's X Road system Used by 20+ nations. Would save tens of billions a year. Guarantees maximum citizen privacy. If you've got a moment I'll email an explanation

@wartsandbrawls That bit yes. But claiming a surname sounds "too Jewish"? He was a Corbyn spokesman to a Panorama investigation into anti-Semitism. So he knew what he was doing. Also, the Labour party is fuelled by a sense of pompous self righteousness. He's violated that ethos

@john4brexit You can be pro-Brexit and lament the poor way the deal was done. For millions Brexit means bureaucracy. Loss of Freedom of Movement. He's factually correct about the experience of transporting goods across the Channel. Ignoring this helps no one

@Frances_Coppola @TraderPaulFX European history mirrors this. Many progroms on Jews. Not a lot in the reverse direction

@Frances_Coppola @TraderPaulFX I cannot find any comparable evidence of Jews committing pogroms against Arabs in the middle east prior to 1945 Jaffa Riots 1921, Hebron Riots 1929, but these seem to be retaliatory. Irgun in 1930s. Is there a similar list? I've never seen it suggested

@WokeWaste @TheGoodStatsMan I've submitted an FoI request to explain the £134m spent on IT for the Rwanda scheme. As a tech journalist, in no way can I hypothesise how the money was spent. Off the shelf CRM, biometric tech etc, might cost £2m. It's Nigeria under Sani Abacha levels of kleptocracy
