Way too many people read “I don’t think we should murder thousands of people” as “I think we should murder one guy.” Not my fault if you’re murder-brained.

I was suddenly worried that I wasn't left wing enough so I've just stocked my fridge up with Oat milk, can't let Farage rhymes with Garage think I'm sliding to the right!

As an economist I know you cannot cut your way out of debt. Instead, you have to grow. We tried austerity for 14 years and it left us with low growth and crumbling public services. This high investment government will grow the economy and lower the debt burden.

There’s no secret to this. It’s the same as the Cambridge Analytica scandal in 2016. They spend Russian money sending hyper targeted adverts on social media telling lies to audiences segmented by age, demography and social economic status. news.sky.com/story/someth...

I think we have to be prepared for the same election interference he ran in the US to be run in the UK and Elon wants Farage in number 10. Don’t ignore this now because it’s coming.

lost track of the number of journalists writing that farmers will get hit with IHT above a £1m threshold for their entire estate ignoring the reality that it’s £1m of land per person on top of existing IHT threshold of up to £1m (£3m max) feels like a major comms failure by government as well

You know, maybe I don't say this enough but you don't need to be a conspiracy theorist to point out that we all just lived through a year of open election interference that was so profound that if we had witnessed it happen elsewhere the USA would have called for an intervention

John Prescott was a politician both behind and ahead of his time. Considered too bluff and old Labour to reach to the very top in the 90s, today his authenticity and class credentials would have been perfect to fight Farage and populism. Labour needs more like him.
