“Waves of migration and globalised culture washed among us, eroding our sense of self… but the self-confidently multi-ethnic, liberal, urban class… barely noticed.”

Is Bill Barr Still Trump’s Lawyer?
Even Fox News’s Chris Wallace thought Bill Barr's defense of Trump was a bit odd https://t.co/vXPuWRMvoQ

We Made Our Decision
A Good Read: The Mueller Report
Here are the REAL numbers:
215 criminal charges
38 indictments or pleas
5 prison sentences
500 search warrants
2800 subpoenas
13 requests to foreign governments for evidence— Forever Logical 🖖 (@ForeverLogical) April 20, 2019
Mueller indictments: everyone charged so far in the Russia investigation – Special counsel Robert Mueller’s team has indicted or gotten guilty pleas from 34 people and three companies that we know of — the latest being longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone. https://t.co/ELQZesTSt6

Again and again, Trump frantically pressured his aides to lie to the public, deny true news stories and fabricate a false record. They rarely challenged him, but when he pushed them to the brink of committing crimes, they refused. https://t.co/EkFQu3hBPZ …

Trump knew he was guilty of numerous bad acts and repeatedly lied about those bad acts. So he did everything in his power to obstruct, fight or derail the investigation to prevent his bad acts and lies from becoming known. It’s really that simple. https://t.co/UQjFPiInae

Trump’s DHS Guts Task Forces Protecting Elections From Foreign Meddling

EU Election System in the UK
Multiple political parties (Greens, Change UK) believe there is no need for Remain parties to coordinate because the election is held under proportional representation. This is wrong, and misunderstands the role of district magnitude
— Chris Hanretty (@chrishanretty) April 17, 2019
District magnitude = number of representatives elected per district/constituency. The magnitude of the regions used for EP elections ranges from 3 (NE England) to 10 (SE England)
— Chris Hanretty (@chrishanretty) April 17, 2019
The smaller the magnitude, the greater the "effective threshold", or vote share required to get elected in that district
— Chris Hanretty (@chrishanretty) April 17, 2019
A rough rule of thumb: the effective threshold is 75%/(m+1), where m is the district magnitude https://t.co/wPof0jFwYo
— Chris Hanretty (@chrishanretty) April 17, 2019
For a ten-seat region, you probably need 75/(10+1)= 6.8% of the vote to get elected. For a three seat region, it's ~19%
— Chris Hanretty (@chrishanretty) April 17, 2019
You cannot (easily) move from these regional thresholds to national thresholds https://t.co/wPof0jFwYo again pic.twitter.com/RJhinUPYWQ
— Chris Hanretty (@chrishanretty) April 17, 2019
But district magnitude (rather than methods of seat allocation like d'Hondt) are what create incentives for parties to coalesce

Bannon and Farage
I will repeat what I have said before: Bannon is a fake intellectual. He is truly not brilliant. But the fact that he has distinct, well-articulated ideas at all… sets him apart in the political vacuums created on both sides of the Atlantic. https://t.co/sR9jhWhYdP

Bannon's 'The Movement', run by Mischaël Modrikamen, a Belgian lawyer turned right-wing politician, wants to help populist parties in May's European Parliament elections.https://t.co/MYdBatWbfY
