Numerous Tories charged with betting offences connected with insider knowledge of the 2024 election. Now do the "VIP lane" pandemic contracts. And the selling of honours for donations. And the routine granting of political favours to generous cronies. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

Prosecution of local election officials is part of Project 2025, which proposes using U.S. code — Section 241, known as “conspiracy against rights” — to prosecute state and local election officials who follow state election laws that conflict with federal law. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Maybe it's me but a president having the power to call trade emergencies and fuck up the global economy on a whim seems like it shouldn't be a thing, and we should probably campaign on that not being a thing any longer.

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him? No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens. Fascism is here.

Good to see "Stop Brexit" Steve Bray cleared. The right to protest is key to defending our freedoms, and to demanding better government. Steve's protest may annoy some people, but he's not threatening anyone or preventing them from going about their lives. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

If we are serious about EU membership and mobility then we should be celebrating people who live/work/study/retire across European borders… Not mocking them, belittling them and saying they’re just “holidaymakers” who deserve Brexit. EU membership gives people more choices.

60 Minutes has done factual, yet unflattering stories on Trump, so he wants FCC Chair Brendan Carr to revoke CBS’s broadcast license. If Trump wants better media coverage, he can start by being a better person. #ProudBlue #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #FreeSpeech #TrumpIsANationalDisgrace

It's a straightforward relationship: high #inequality leads to the triumph of the far right. It will keep winning until governments deliberately seek to make societies more equal. I'm looking at you, Keir Starmer. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

One of the most powerful forces in politics is the urge to destroy that from which you are excluded. This is why, in the highly unequal US, support for Trump holds up even as he trashes everything that makes a good society. Equality is key to preventing fascism. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

As I watch Starmer tear up Labour's prospects by attacking people in poverty, abusing those who care about the living world and appeasing the ultra-rich, I feel the same sense of dislocation as I did before the Iraq War. Anyone can see the disaster coming, except, apparently, the government.

Amazing how every Trump rally gets wall-to-wall coverage — but when 36,000 people show up to protest him with Bernie and AOC, it barely makes a headline. We get endless diner stories about ‘forgotten’ Trump voters. Where are the stories of Americans left behind by the GOP?
