Peter Thiel and Elon Musk were shaped by apartheid. Their families profited from mines built on Black exploitation. What’s unfolding in the U.S. isn’t new—it’s apartheid’s legacy, updated for global control. open.substack.com/pub/1nadines...

I sent out this piece yesterday. Trump's final plan is basically Russia's plan, which would legitimize Russian conquests and provide Russia the best possible situation in which to rebuild its military--while giving Ukraine nothing. Europe needs to stand with Ukraine now.

Proud to work with more than 70 Labour MPs and Lords on this letter. Now is a moment of opportunity for all want to see a closer UK/EU relationship and that includes millions of people who put their faith in our party last year. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

First Past the Post not fit for purpose. Discredit on the Tory government for introducing it in mayoral contests for the most selfish of reasons, and on the Labour government for bafflingly not scrapping it.

“The proposal that Trump, Vice President J. D. Vance, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are pushing is not a framework for peace, but a rich and bloody reward to Moscow for three years of aggression and war crimes.” www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Israel was attacked. Israeli civilians were killed. Israeli hostages were taken; many were killed, some still have not been released. Israel has the right to defend herself, but that isn't a blank cheque. Using starvation as a weapon - which is what Israel is doing in Gaza - is a war crime.

Reform backers are importing the US’s ‘big money’ playbook to UK politics Great British PAC hopes to Americanise UK politics with the help of donors like Elon Musk. Please repost if you agree that big money donations subvert democracy and should be banned. www.opendemocracy.net/en/gb-pac-uk...

Very good analysis by @robfordmancs.bsky.social. We need PR in the UK, starting with local elections in England and Wales (it’s already used for these elections in Scotland and NI): www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

If we had PR, there would be a place for single-issue parties like a hypothetical "Rejoin the EU" party. (It would only have to clock up enough votes nationally to get one MP to have a voice in Parliament.)

A ruling Reform/Tory coalition after GE 2029 would mean the end of the Labour party for all time. (R+T would come in with all the earlier Tory sins whitewashed away by Labour's 5 disastrous years.) People will never forgive Labour the endless missed opportunities to take a different path instead.

In 1978 Ian Drury wrote a song called "There ain't half been some clever bastards". I feel it's time someone wrote the other half of the story.

Starmer must not side with the orange fascist, Trump will only fleece the UK for every thing it’s got. Trump loves Brexit and despises the EU and is actively trying to dismantle it. Grow a spine Starmer and be on the right side of history m.youtube.com/watch?v=zrFh...

For opponents of the idea of social construction, the Trump Administration are surprisingly fond of the doctrine that saying something with the air of conviction makes it true.

In case you missed it ... When we were in the EU, there were signs all over the place showing how the EU was investing in our towns and regions. And best of all, EU funding was shared out EQUALLY and FAIRLY across all parts of the UK, regardless of which party was in power. #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

Civil libertarians in the UK have opposed ID cards and centralised record keeping on the grounds of potential for abuse by authoritarian governments and malicious agents. The US is not exactly weakening their case.
