It remains astonishing that someone with a voice this grating, a personal demeanour so off-putting, and above all such a complete lack of intelligent insight can claim any kind of career in what may very charitably be called media.

If a reporter asked Mamdani about Charlie Kirk and he replied “a lot of people didn’t like him” we would have the biggest firestorm in media perhaps anyone has ever seen. Pitchforks & op eds everywhere. Non-stop.

Adherence to the bare minimum of norms, lauded as some kind of grand and saintly indulgence. Yet another hallmark of authoritarianism.
Trump: "I'm sitting here. You're with a future king. A man who is respected by everybody. A man that doesn't have to be doing this, really. I don't have to be doing it either. And yet we're sitting here taking questions and there's never been transparency like this. It's sort of wonderful."

Jesus Christ. This is monstrous. Absolutely sickening. The journalists in that room should walk out en masse.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

The most incessant racist faction in British politics takes this message to be "racism works" (It has shifted politics + policy)
(Laws believes it is important to racially harass minorities online and in person. He has left Homeland because it is too soft on forced removals of UK-born minorities).

Since she’s the one who’s brought it up; my wife’s parents came from the same spot in Pakistan as Mahmood’s, I imagine around the same time, and is roughly the same age. She’s encountered more racist shite in the last decade than the previous four. We know why. It ain’t because of refugees.
"I am the one that is regularly called a fucking Paki and told to go back home" says Shabana Mahmood.
"I wish it were possible to say that there isn't a problem here and... it's just extremist right wing talking points. But this system is broken, and it is... creating the division that we all see"

Years of effective campaigning overturned. As mother of a foster child who was detained AS A CHILD this chills me to the bone. It is sick to the core. The impact on their friends was profound and has endured nearly twenty years later. That was a Labour policy too.

Statutory definition of "family" to be introduced. Even though human rights law refuses strictly to define and limit family, in recognition of the infinite variety of human existence and the possibility of change over time. Might not seem important or have much real-world impact but this is Bad.

Some sort of further tightening of the rules that Theresa May introduced in 2012 is on the cards. Because Theresa May was such a softie.

This passage is utterly incoherent. UK now to revoke an EU-imposed law... which several EU countries do not follow? Suspect this is going to create a lot of make-work for officials, humiliate refugees and yet also lead to very, very few denials of support.
