@RibbleCycles I really would like to consider buying one of your bikes if only I could actually test ride one - but as I don't live in the North East that is apparently impossible?!

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

A century ago, Germany’s democracy was hijacked by a bombastic and charismatic tyrant — and in this five-minute video, you’ll learn how he did it. Why did I produce this? Because I believe that history is speaking to us, and all too often, those who refuse to learn from it are doomed to repeat it. As you watch, imagine filling out a Bingo card filled with Germany 1933/USA 2024 parallels: big rallies, rage-filled and hateful rhetoric, simple answers promising quick and easy solutions to complicated problems, empty promises of a great-again future, scapegoating outsiders, and political enemies silenced on day one. And notice the caring wisdom and concern from my German friends as they share these lessons from their dark history. It’s hard to understand how Trump could, on the eve of a tight election, paint a picture of Liz Cheney before a firing squad by actually saying, “Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK? And let’s see how she feels about it when the guns are trained on her face.” You can’t get into the mind of a dictator with an insatiable appetite for power — but you can recognize the playbook they all seem to follow. Just watch this clip. It’s excerpted from my hourlong public television special “The Story of Fascism in Europe,” which is streaming free (and ad-free) at ricksteves.com/fascism. If you care about our democracy and love our country, it’s hard to stop watching. When I produced this in 2018, I hoped this day would never come in our country. But November 5th is upon us. Please share this with anyone in your life who might need a reminder that the stakes are high...and this is very real.

"I stand here also as a black man... whose ancestors rose up and fought in a great rebellion of the enslaved. Imperialism. I know it when I see it." @DavidLammy accuses Russia of being a mafia state in unbelievable speech at the UN.

Republican strategist Scott Jennings on Trump’s appearance at the NABJ Convention: “He did crap the bed today. The only question is whether he’s gonna roll around in it or get up and change the sheets.”

"I didn’t know he was Orange until a number of years ago, when he happened to turn Orange. I respect either one, but he obviously doesn’t because all of a sudden he made a turn and he went – he became an Orange person. I think somebody should look into that." 🍊

The scale of the Tory destruction is only now coming to light. They’ve broken absolutely everything they’ve laid their hands on. Criminal prosecutions must ensue where such prosecutions are warranted. Democracy needs this, in fact democracy demands this must happen.

The hidden cost of @Ofwat's incompetence. Part of yesterday's price hikes, 60% for @SouthernWater customers, is to cover up 3 decades of Ofwat's utter inability to plan, strategise or regulate. Why in God's name should customers pay for their failures? news.sky.com/story/no-not-s…

On Question Time it was suggested that Feargal Sharkey could be appointed to take on the Water Companies. Like if that is a good idea. RT if we don't need to do that, we just need to nationalise. #bbcqt
