Zohran's campaign was his determination to make New York a city everyone can afford to live in. Huge congratulations!
His success will resonate throughout the world. A story where no one is left behind.
It's time to write that story across England & Wales too.

first they came for the people arriving in small boats...
"The idea of deporting people with settled status is disgusting, and anyone proposing it should be immediately drummed out of polite society. Breaking promises made in good faith to our friends and neighbours is racist, extremist and immoral."
I'm basically shouting at the sky here, but still.

The right is still calling for deportations, and the government is still being cowardly about it. Also: London’s first green belt; some notes on a shark; and some news, on my next book.

This is what GB News considers news.
Actual news: @greenparty.org.uk announced we have more members than the Conservatives, double the Lib Dems, making us the third largest party in Britain.
Now I wonder why GB News wouldn't want to report on that?

classic xenophobe strategy, advocate for entirely sensible requirements and then implement them as deterrents
Carol malone. “Migrants should speak english”.
Zack Polanski. “ I agree, we should give them some help to learn the language and help them integrate”.
Malone. “ NO. NO. NO. WHY SHOULD WE HELP THEM LEARN ENGLISH AND INTEGRATE!!!!!!!!”

Can someone please explain why it is that too many politicians only seem to want the votes of the prejudiced and the ignorant? To the extent that they are actively repelling anyone capable of rational thought and decency. Why the pathetic need to appease the bigot vote, at everyone else’s expense?

Labour has a whopping great majority and four years left to turn this country around.
They should be setting the agenda, not chasing about trying to placate voters of a party with five MPs who will never vote for them anyway.
It's not only disappointing... it's embarrassing
