I wrote this, about Flesh by David Szalay. It is a brilliant book, one of the most worthy Booker-winners in years. It’s also really, really important. This post contains stuff about childhood sexual abuse and how we let down boys and young men.

A key victory in Trump's road to power in America was successfully branding the majority of its established press as "fake news". Now, he is bringing this across the pond to the BBC – where these same tactics are favoured by prominent politicians and media outlets on the right. A dangerous moment.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

If I were running in next year's midterms, I'd be saying: Aussies are getting free electricity, and we're getting huge price spikes.
Because they built solar, and Trump is blocking it.

This systematic dismantling of public data is a deliberate assault on knowledge itself, a cowardly attempt to govern in the dark because their agenda crumbles in the light. It is the act of a regime terrified of being measured by its catastrophic failures.

The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani.
The president and his allies came after him.
Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute.
He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters.
His politics can win anywhere.
