When Trump's Gestapo finally goes on trial, we'll learn they raped, pillaged and beat immigrants for money & anything of value. This will be in addition to their brutal kidnappings. And I'll bet Stephen Miller encouraged ALL of this violence.

Truly can't believe we're still limiting tyre stints in Qatar despite having two years to solve the issue.
If the track isn't suitable we shouldn't be going there. If it is then we should be able to run the provided tyres as teams wish.

NEW: F1’s sticking-plaster fix for Qatar tyre failures is an embarrassment
Formula 1 will resort to a rules fudge to avoid trouble with its tyres at Losail next week. Why hasn't it found a proper solution for this problem?

Name and shame. If supporting the event is political than it stands to reason that not doing so isn't so they'd be quite happy for their name to be out there.
I’m hearing from a charity that’s reluctant to support an anti-racism event because it’s too “political”. I’m explaining to them that opposing racism wasn’t at all “political” until very recently.
Also (1) everything is political but (2) it doesn’t need to be party political.
Charity IS Politics.

The man on that MS NOW panel just proved Michelle Obama’s point: America still isn’t ready for a woman president. He really sat there and said Clinton and Harris didn’t win because they were flawed? Make it make sense. So a man can be a convicted felon, openly corrupt, openly dangerous ?

It sounds odd, but if you're looking for a bit of faith in society, read the RAIB and AAIB reports into train and plane crashes. Reading how comprehensively they analyse the incidents, and the lessons learnt, is strangely reassuring.

Her portrayal of asylum seekers doesn't just respond to the racist narratives of the Far Right: by othering asylum seekers as unworthy winners of riches, in implicit contrast to struggling families, Shabana Mahmood actively promotes and feeds those Far Right lies.
For Shabana Mahmood to attack some of the most cruelly treated people in the world as having won a "golden ticket" because they manage to get to and claim asylum in Britain is unforgiveable.
A new, far right, low for which I can think of no precedent, by any UK Government.

Also: the far right is an entertainment franchise to the majority of its base. Labour's strategy would be like telling a generation raised on WWE and AEW that you're going to do *proper* Olympic-style wrestling, with no silly costumes or fake stories. Nobody wants that! They want to be entertained!
Appeasing the far-right gives the broader public the impression that their narrative is true. There is no way to stem support for Reform by endorsing their policies. Either you are fighting against them or you are, regardless of how you see yourself, fighting for them.
