I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.
As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

Just went to see the Ukraine war documentary, 2000 mtrs to Andriivka. I really recommend it, although it's a brutal watch. I thought my experiences in Iraq and Afghan were something, but this was another level. Brutal warfare and heartbreaking to see the losses.

It's a straightforward relationship: high #inequality leads to the triumph of the far right. It will keep winning until governments deliberately seek to make societies more equal. I'm looking at you, Keir Starmer.
