You can’t invoke Thatcher in 2025, that’s bananas. That’s wacky if you’re a Tory, let alone Labour. Look what she’s done. Look at the fucking state of everything. At one point she said Blair was her greatest creation. It’s not true anymore, her greatest creation is now Starmer.

Lammy praises Trump’s “incredible grace & generosity” on #BBCR4today. His earlier verdict was more accurate (“dishonest, xenophobic”). A man who made “criminal efforts” to overturn 2020 election result, who will trash climate & nature & threaten minorities. Solidarity with all who feel fear today

Saw Nosferatu last night (it's great), and I think Willem Dafoe has become cinema's go-to 'weird old expert ostracised from his field for being weird' guy. He does it very well though, so I'm not complaining.

No, Democrats should not respond to their election defeat by throwing minorities under a bus. Instead, they should offer a compelling economic vision for struggling Americans, which forces the Republicans on the defensive. New column 👇 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Whenever I go home to Wales for a few days, I'm always struck by how effective the 20mph limit is. More time to react, safer roads - it all makes sense. Hope the rest of the UK follows suit. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
