This should chill everyone in this country to the bone. All she did was write an OpEd the administration didn’t like. This is fascistic suppression of free speech.

@vintagetrombones.bsky.social any ID for this Conn? No model number (xxH) stamped, just the three bandsmen emblem on the bell. Serial No. 421xxx dates it to 1953. The bracings are finished more simply than my 6H from 1950. Asking for a friend; TIA for any info 🙏🏻

The new centre ground of our migration debate is going to be between Nigel Farage & Tommy Robinson if the media gets its way. Labour needs, desperately, to get a grip on the narrative & stop chasing the tails of the far & further right. #r4today

The longest sentence handed down to a violent racist rioter this week is shorter than the sentences imposed on entirely peaceful environmental protesters last month. Labour must repeal the Tory laws that treat peaceful protest more severely than violent disorder and assault.

Huge turnouts of anti-fascists in lots of cities, which rather puts a lie to the idea that racist "concerns about immigration" are the majority view that the London elite just don't understand.

The oral arguments in the Trump immunity case feel like sort of a watershed. The Court has already made a mockery of the Constitution, but now they’re attacking the most basic foundation of democratic governance: that the people and the law are sovereign, not the head of state.
