The star performer in this year's Democracy Index was Taiwan, which was upgraded to a “full democracy” after rising 20 places econ.st/3oJE3ET
Versus New Zealand, Taiwan has experienced less than 1/2 the COVID-19 cases, and less than 1/2 the deaths. Taiwan also gets less than 1/2 the news coverage, while having 5x the NZ population and 14x the pop density. Taiwan is also woman-led: President Tsai Ing-Wen, PhD. (1)
When your nation isn't anti-science you can have nice things.
This is such a flagrant abuse of power, even Trump isn’t defending David Perdue. nytimes.com/2020/11/19/us/…
In view of how much time, money, and leadership brainpower gets burned in Washington to stop Iran’s nuclear program, one might expect at least an equal investment in stopping a PRC 🇨🇳 attack on Taiwan 🇹🇼 which would trigger a protracted superpower war. But no such luck.
Here's my story on the US senate's #Trump-#Russia report. In 2016 Moscow had a Russian intelligence officer at the heart of Trump's campaign. And the Steele dossier Ritz-Carlton allegations look true: the #FSB has a "network" of cameras in guest bedrooms theguardian.com/us-news/2020/a…

US Senate report goes beyond Mueller to lay bare Trump campaign's Russia links
Bipartisan intelligence panel says that Russian who worked on Trump’s 2016 bid was career spy, amid a stunning range of contacts
The central idea behind this piece on why the US failed so badly to control the pandemic is that it fell under the combined weight of a multitude of weaknesses, every one of which was predictable. I want to unpack that idea. A thread. 1/ theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…
I spent five years as Director of Public Prosecutions working on live operations with the security intelligence services. I'm not going to take lectures from a Prime Minister, who sat on an Intelligence and Security Committee report for ten months, on national security. #PMQs
Conservatives voters should be as angry that the government failed to protect our democracy as Labour voters. Brexit voters should feel as let down as Remain voters. This is not a partisan issue. When our democracy is left vulnerable to interference, all of us are harmed.
We laugh at Trump when he says “if we don’t test for COVID then we won’t discover any new cases” but that’s exactly our own government’s position on Russian interference in our democracy.
You’ve sold out our democracy. You’re corrupt. You’ve failed on Brexit. You’ve failed on Covid. You’re a fraud.
We’ve kept our promises. We have recruited thousands of nurses & police officers, and invested billions more in our NHS & schools. Of course there is much more to do. As we begin to recover from this pandemic, we will not lose sight of the country we have promised to build 🇬🇧
The politics of our country, once respected around the world, has been totally corrupted by wilful negligence by its own government. Brexit is a fraud. @borisJohnson is a fraud
Russia report reveals UK government did nothing to address Russian interference in British politics. It was too busy rolling out the red carpet for oligarchs looking to launder their loot, as Tory politicians accepted 'donations' on the side nytimes.com/2020/07/21/wor…
I gave MI5 direct correspondence between Russian embassy officials and senior Brexit campaigners, but nothing happened. There was huge interest from US agencies about what Russian officials were doing in the referendum, but UK agencies didn’t want to know. news.sky.com/story/russia-r…
Incredible. Is this because successive Conservative prime ministers did not want the intelligence services to investigate Tory Party donors?
"The report reveals that no one in government knew if Russia interfered in or sought to influence the [Brexit] referendum because they did not want to know" Stewart Hosie MP says government "actively avoided looking for evidence that Russia interfered" bbc.in/32RuU5Z
Question: why isn’t this guy’s name in every headline in America? Why isn’t every single House and Senate Democrat tweeting about him today?
The man in this Portland video is Christopher David. A Navy veteran, he tells us he went to the protests for the first time to ask officers about the constitution. He said his fingers are broken and he needs surgery. MORE: nytimes.com/2020/07/19/us/…
Jesus Christ feds came out of the courthouse in Portland and fired a flash bang at the moms against police brutality. At least one of these mothers is pregnant.
I hope all those people who supported the 2003 invasion of Iraq are watching the devastating BBC2 documentary series Once Upon A Time in Iraq. I reported on the entire course of the dreadful, shaming Iraq war from 2003 to 2016, & can't forgive it or forget it.
We won’t be able to say we didn’t know
