Jolyon’s Bluesky followers have been treated to a short video of the failed lawyer dancing backstage at a trans festival in London. This is what you’ve lost over on Musk’s X…
Jolyon is seen enthusiastically dancing at the Trans Mission festival in Wembley with American singer Beth Ditto. Zack Polanski was at the same event and gave a speech in which he said “trans rights are human rights” and asked “are you ready for hope to be normal again?” Such a shame to have missed it…
British officials have revealed that an Iranian drone swarm hit a coalition military base in Iraq at Erbil, as a result of which several US soldiers were injured. Brigadier Guy Foden, assistant chief of staff for operations at the Permanent Joint Headquarters, said:
“Erbil and Baghdad were both struck a number of times last night with increasing coordination. We have personnel in Erbil who are currently helping with the defence of that base. Last night they shot down two UAVs coming at the camp. But a number of UAVs did impact on the camp.”

Zack Polanski has claimed that the EU should take up the role of global military policeman. He previously said the UK should team up with Mexico and Brazil as NATO alternative…
Matt Forde asked on his podcast with Polanski whose role it should be to police the globe seeing as “Britain has failed in its role as a nuclear power… and we just sort of sit here and go, ‘oh well, it’s not our role to police it’… if it’s not our role, whose role is it?”
Polanski replied: “The EU. So I think if you were gonna-” Forde chimed in: “Or NATO?”
The Green leader attacked NATO:
“Well, I think there is a role there for NATO, or we’re gonna get into this conversation, I’m sure, but Donald Trump has so much power in NATO that I think that it becomes impossible to make a sensible, coherent decision that isn’t about United States militeralism [sic] or them making more money from their military-industrial complex.
In fact, 86% of our arms imports in this country come from the United States. I think that’s a dangerous issue of resilience, and whether that’s as manufacturing our own weapons or using procurement across Europe, I think it’s time to rebuild those ties with our closest European neighbours.”
Guido sympathises with co-conspirators who struggle to keep abreast of Polanski’s military-industrial-geopolitical stances. Nice to see him backing massively expanded local defence manufacturing…
