“The symbolism of the moment is hard to beat. At a time when Trump is not just demonising immigrants, but harassing them and sending masked goons to kidnap them from the street, America’s greatest city – and Trump’s hometown – has elected a Muslim immigrant to run it.”

"The idea of the gradual, the subtle and the consensual has gone from world affairs, replaced by the sudden, the belligerent and the shocking. Which makes the liberal promise of the Blair-Clinton era feel even more like a faraway dream." Vale liberal democracy? Read ⤵️ by @jayelwes.bsky.social

Russia bought themselves a senior member of the Reform party to do their bidding. He’s been found guilty – why does no one seem to care?

Think we’ve crossed a pretty major threshold – and a very bad one – if a journalist working in the lobby for a major newspaper group can tweet like this without professional consequences.
A mainstream “journalist” calling for a British MP to be deported. Is it because I’m Muslim? Next time, just say it with your chest.

"In his opening remarks, Democrat Jamie Raskin dismissed Farage as a “far-right, pro-Putin politician”, who “calls England an authoritarian regime while saying that Vladimir Putin is the world leader he admires the most”."

Nigel Farage is about to give evidence to the US Congress on threats to free speech in the UK.

So here's one for him: Reform UK has just banned me (and @thenewworldmag.bsky.social) from attending its party conference this weekend. www.thenewworld.co.uk/james-ball-w...
Chicken Farage bans The New World
It claims to be the party of free speech, but this last-minute decision to stop me attending tells a very different story
