Picture of Farage from GB News website with the caption For GB News's funders, £130m is a small price to pay fro vast influence
GB News, the channel of “reactionary rage bait”, has released its latest accounts showing a £22m loss for 2024/25 (and a £131m total loss since launch)
Yet another demonstration that there’s no shortage of funds on the right of British politics, writes @writesbright.bsky.social for the Nerve

Why are they having a Party?
Never assume any of them are “stupid”. This is part of a careful plan. It is only ever about Trump and his slogan and the men behind this, Miller, Thiel, Bannon and other we don’t really hear about.
Well you got that wrong about Our PM. He has allowed limited support because Iran fired on one of ours.
He probably didn’t “approve” of her…
Just imagine how different this would have been if Trump didn’t hate Obama so much..
Is this one those AI accounts?

There are also problems with Trump's private conversations with Putin without American note-takers or advisors present. In one case, he even took the interpreters' notes. Read: cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/02/when...
May I politely suggest that the gouvernor of Louisiana who so generously helped send this ship elsewhere direct it to Louisiana whose citizen / hospital ratio is roughly 3 times that of Greenland.
There is no exception to the major questions doctrine for emergency statutes. Nor does the fact that tariffs implicate foreign affairs render the doctrine inapplicable. The Framers gave “Congress alone” the power to impose tariffs during peacetime. Merritt v. Welsh, 104 U. S. 694, 700. And the foreign affairs implications of tariffs do not make it any more likely that Congress would relinquish its tariff power through vague language, or without careful limits.
(a) IEEPA authorizes the President to “investigate, block during the pendency of an investigation, regulate, direct and compel, nullify, void, prevent or prohibit . . . importation or exportation.” §1702(a)(1)(B). Absent from this lengthy list of specific powers is any mention of tariffs or duties. Had Congress intended to convey the distinct and extraordinary power to impose tariffs, it would have done so expressly, as it consistently has in other tariff statutes. The power to “regulate . . . importation” does not fill that void. The term “regulate,” as ordinarily used, means to “fix, establish, or control; to adjust by rule, method, or established mode; to direct by rule or restriction; to subject to governing principles or laws.” Black’s Law Dictionary 1156. The facial breadth of this definition places in stark relief what ”regulate” is not usually thought to include: taxation. Many statutes grant the Executive the power to “regulate.” Yet the Government cannot identify any statute in which the power to regulate includes the power to tax. The Court is therefore skeptical that in IEEPA—and IEEPA alone—Congress hid a delegation of its birth-right power to tax within the quotidian power to “regulate.” While taxes may accomplish regulatory ends, it does not follow that the power to regulate includes the power to tax as a means of regulation. Indeed, when Congress addresses both the power to regulate and the power to tax, it does so separately and expressly. That it did not do so here is strong evidence that “regulate” in IEEPA does not include taxation.
Supreme Court absolutely bodies Trump on IEEPA.
Just complete groin kicking.
They could have said that IEEPA lets him impose tariffs in an emergency but that this didn't qualify as one of those, or he failed to define one.
It didn't.
It ruled IEEPA doesn't let him impose tariffs at all.

Futurecasting the news-
“Trump’s funeral brings out millions for emotional sendoff”
Have watched all the episodes so far! So hope there will be more
And this from @davidallengreen.bsky.social on Palantir deals gets to the detail of why lock-in is so catastrophic. And that's before you get to the issues of sovereignty and security. Excellent.
Hope either Government comes to senses or it's JRed to oblivion.

I am just listening to the Gove one…
The BBC is a trusted name with broad global appeal - soft power like that allows the U.K. to punch significantly above its weight.
Though southwestern Idaho was off my radar, the complaint alleges that the govt has also used this dubious legal theory—leveraging criminal arrest warrants for a few individuals into a mass immigration dragnet—in Chicago; Austin, TX; Colo Springs; & Cato, NY. (H/t David Emery of Dover, NH.)
Today's home truth comes from @alanbeattie.bsky.social who wrote "The extent to which Trump is ceding the green tech field to China remains almost beyond belief in its self-destructiveness." In all of the debates about soft v hard power, don't forget Trump is also doing incredibly stupid stuff.
I heard this on The Trawl podcast this morning. This is absolutely brilliant!👏👏✨
