Mildly encouraged to see the good people of Hull are giving Dicky Tice short shrift. Unfortunate that his stream of bullshit is so incessant that more of it wasn’t called out explicitly.

If you take a single lesson out of Star Wars let it be that successful opposition to fascism only happened after all the different factions stopped fighting with each other and joined forces. You can criticize your allies, of course, but you can’t be more focused on defeating them than the enemy.

Today marks two months of total siege since it was reimposed by the Government of Israel. All that has entered Gaza is bombs & bullets. Instead of much needed food, clothing or tents to help children survive, airstrikes continue. 1/3

Given the local election results in the UK, a short #thread - based on much of our own research - on the vicious cycle of radical right support that we have seen in many countries. 1) When radical right parties (such as Reform) are electorally successful established parties move right on immigration

Gutted that the Reform candidate has been elected mayor in Hull & East Yorks. What an embarrassing stain on our region.

This is where we are headed. If you don’t believe me, ask what basis the government had to send me and my family to a prison camp in Arkansas. We “looked like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.”

The court was asked to rule on what the govt meant by “sex” in the Equalities Act, and concluded it meant biological sex. Trans people are still protected under the act. So are single-sex spaces where it matters. That’s it. Calm down everyone.

Having now read the judgment, I offer the following comment. The single issue before the court were the definitions of man and woman under the Equality Act: did they refer to biological sex, or did they relate to gender identity. This is the only issue the court ruled on. /1

NEW: There's no reason to act like Trump is pursuing a trade policy or an industrial revitalization strategy. These are just sanctions, imposed to intimidate countries and companies into submission like they're universities or law firms. They're what a mob boss would do. prospect.org/economy/2025...

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

Great letters in The Times on the ugly menace of Trump and what should be done about him: See him for what he is, stand up to him, say no to him, never trust him, join forces meaningfully with Europe, ask to join the EU Single Market and rethink that not so ‘special relationship’.
