We don't defeat populists by calling out their lies. We tried that. Facts are complicated, and the audience for populism wants simplicity. It won't work.
We defeat populists by enacting bold political ideas that improve lives for the disenfranchised, and make the world seem less grotesquely unfair.

Who is Charlotte Owen and why is she a Lord?
We may find out as a Tribunal has ordered all the documentation relating to her being made a Lord to be released to them.

The 'farmers' protest is a good time to remind people of the Just Stop Oil protestors who got 21 years, just for planning a protest.
Two tier justice indeed.

Look bringing back polio sounds bad. But it’s a small price to pay to get rid of pronouns in email signatures and black women in star wars.

“But how will ambulances or emergency services get through?!”
Oh, no, wait… that concern only applies to climate-change protests, not tax changes which will bypass most farmers and which is paid at half the rate of IHT normal people pay.
Payable over ten years.

Allison Pearson claimed police accused her of a “non-crime hate incident” after a tweet misidentifying a protest photo. Essex Police say that never happened, releasing footage to prove it. Pearson now says she might have “misheard” – but not before the Telegraph ran three front pages on the claim.

New data on farms and inheritance tax: a third of farm estates over £1.5m aren’t farmers but wealthy people avoiding IHT by sinking money into farmland.
The Budget hits farmers too hard and tax avoiders too lightly. It needs to change.

Hey everyone, Lilian is an 8 year old Birmingham City fan who's in desperate need of a stem cell transplant. It's urgent and her Nan obviously is very concerned.
If anyone, anywhere can help to make this happen quickly, please get in touch.
Let's get this little girl well.
Thank you ❤️

We left X and joined Bluesky because those against our parks said, “If you don’t like it, leave.” So we did. And now they’re saying, “No, come back so we can say mean things to you—it makes us feel important.”

21% of the UK population or 14.3 million people live in relative poverty. Maybe we should talk about them for a change rather than the tax concerns of Jeremy Clarkson's wealthy children
