Excellent thread. I’d add that we’re not making a good job of defending a pluralist, constitutional democracy. As Robert says, it’s an urgent task.
People are sometimes puzzled when I talk about "authoritarian democracy".
This (translated into the language of an angry toddler) is what it means:
It's a malign form of democracy that treats dissent as anti-democratic & uses the authority of the people ("the VOTERS") to bulldoze checks on power.

Why not take an axe to Britain's tax dodging billionaires.
Who make a profit of £150bn a year, but who only pay 11% tax.
While the average person pays 37%, and the highest 47%.
