57% of all ad spending by Republicans in the Virginia governors race was on anti trans ads. Just an incredibly mismanaged campaign. Anti-trans politics are a losing issue.

And while Spanberger is no Mamdani, I'd also add Earle-Sears losing in Virginia by a landslide to this list: a complete rebuke to her transphobic campaign!
Zohran Mamdani in New York
Catherine Connolly in Ireland
Rob Jetten in the Netherlands
Plaid Cymru in Caerphilly
The rise of the far right is not inevitable.
If we work together, we can dare to hope.

If Labour is continuing to lose votes, just got 11% in a by-election in a seat they've held for 100 years and in a few recent polls is equal to or just behind the Greens maybe we should stop suggesting they're the only thing that can defeat Reform.

The speed at which Welsh Labour is going from unassailable dominance in Wales to on the brink of collapse post Starmer's election as PM shows how toxic his project is.

A defection of left Labour MPs to the Greens could be a great way to really build on this amazing momentum and make the Labour Party look even less appealing. There's got to be some of the SCG types considering it at least.

To be clear: deportations to increase cultural homogeneity is the text book definition of ethnic cleansing. Demands that come even close to this are so far outside any democratic norm and the rule of law. What has happened to a country when this is not condemned in the strongest possible terms?

The thing to understand about Robert Peston is, he is ferociously intellectually incurious. Genuinely one of the laziest men in journalism. You'd think this would make him unsuited for his role, but you'll understand more when you recognise it's exactly why he has the highly paid position he does.
Peston is aghast that @zackpolanski.bsky.social backs a sporting boycott of Israel, saying, its a democracy!
Israel has been engaged in a brutal occupation & apartheid for decades & denies millions under its control their basic civil rights. Was apartheid South Africa a democracy too?
