“What Mamdani has in common with people like Polanski -but also Trump and Farage - is that he acknowledges people's lived experience and seeks to act on it. Whatever one thinks of his solutions, tonally, that is very different from most centrist politicians who, on the whole, just propose tweaks.”

In Love Actually, it says that no one on the planes on 9/11 sent messages of hate only messages of love, but I like to think at least one person phoned and told their boss to blow a goat.

Climate crisis latest!
More heat in the atmosphere means a higher frequency of extreme weather events... which is probably why my house flooded last night.
They've known about this since 1954 - and carried on regardless - so I'll invoice Shell and Esso for the clean up.
Hope you're all dry!

On Farage, the economy and how spent he looks when he can’t work the Maga playbook www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Economic policy is one thing Nigel Farage can’t crib from the Donald Trump playbook | Rafael Behr
The Maga model, based on the US’s exorbitant market privileges, can’t be imported to Britain. That’s going to be a problem for Reform UK, says Guardian columnist Rafael Behr

And with no hint of shame, humility or personal responsibility, the Tory who detonated the economy with his mini budget and whose party trashed the place with austerity and Brexit, then scorched the earth with unaffordable pre-election tax cuts, tells Reeves to apologise.

Yesterday marked the anniversary of Trump's re-election, and one year later, voters are rejecting Trump and his hateful policies and ideology at the ballot box. This is great news for democracy and can fill us with hope!🎉

The FTSE 100 is now higher than the end of yesterday.
This is markets, again, backing what Rachel Reeves said once they had time to consider what she'd said.
Up over 20% since Labour came to power and at record levels.

I've seen quite a lot of the media talking about the FTSE 100 / markets 'crashing' over 100 points due to the Chancellors speech today.
Well here is the chart up to 14:59 this afternoon.
Half the drop was in the 5 mins after markets opened, before she spoke at 8:10am.

Thread. Shouldn’t need saying but apparently it does.
I hear there’s an argument going on in the UK right now about whether or not Donald Trump incited the crowds to violence around January 6th. Apparently the BBC in a documentary showed edits of his speech that misrepresented what he said.

This wife talking about her husband becoming radicalised by Farage and those like him really is quite extraordinary in its heartbreaking understatement.
"He absolutely wanted it to be [a terrorist attack]. The grin on his face. He wanted an I-told-you-so."

Once again, this isn’t journalism. It’s stroking the ego of a politician who’s done great national harm.
WhyTF should we take Farage seriously? Just because he wants power? Even more reason for ruthless scrutiny.
His track record is racist and ruinous. Any serious journalist would say so.
