At a certain level of British society there is only one crime it's possible to commit: Failure to Sufficiently Launder and Glorify the Ruling Class
Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …

Dictators don't get voted out, they get forced out. When will Republicans realize Trump will destroy their lives too?

The real issue isn’t left vs right.
It’s not white vs black.
It’s not citizen vs immigrant.
It’s not gay vs straight.
The real issue is that a lot of powerful people have a vested interest — and a lot of money invested — in dividing us, and it’s working.

Totally agree with this. But I think we can already see the likelihood that Trump will use this as a Reichstag fire opportunity.
Not to interrupt production at the takes factory but they should probably identify and catch the actual killer before we decide what it all means.

more than anything else, this is *the* biggest problem in UK politics, because if there isn't a clear cordon sanitaire between centre right and far right then your only bulwark against fascism is 'the left (here very, very broadly defined) wins elections forever', which is quite a big ask
Kemi Badenoch has overseen the absolute collapse of any semblance of a border for the right. Under her leadership you have shadow ministers at far right rallies, mayoral candidates joining other parties, and seemingly half their outriders explicitly doubting whether Rishi Sunak is English.
Robert Jenrick, the Tory Shadow Justice Secretary and former Home Office Minister, joining protesters outside an asylum hotel is one of the most disgusting acts by a frontline British politician in living memory.

So Wimbledon has been won by two people who should both be serving a drugs ban yes it’s either not mentioned or it’s mentioned as another challenge for them to overcome. Baffling

@lewisgoodall.com I love Lewis but his interview with Bridget Philipso just now was truly terrible. A totally unserious descent into the kind of pathetic Westminster journalism that has destroyed serious discourse. Ask proper questions about policy issues please Lewis, not sound bite rubbish.

And….isn’t this a major opportunity for the UK’s academic sector to offer safe harbour to American academics and foreign students at US universities? We need to see higher education as a key export not as a driver of unwanted immigration.

I’d like to see a bit more outrage on all sides at trumps attempt to destroy academic independence (and at the same time one of the US’s key competitive advantages). Surely even republicans can see this is a disaster?
