The government has been busy making new laws. Lots of them. Across rail, education, planning, environment, housing... But most people have not noticed. So, here’s a very handy roundup of progress/changes, including a full list of those new laws and which ones have already had royal assent. 👇

NEW: Crowd now growing at the Capitol where Cory Booker and Hakeem Jeffries are staging a sit-in on the steps. Is this building into something? If you’re in DC, they’re encouraging folk to come down there & support. #Resist (📸 Sen. Brian Schatz)

Any trade deal negotiated with Trump should be put to a vote in Parliament, especially when British farming, online safety and our NHS are on the line. Labour’s own policy paper from 2021 called for Parliament to have a vote on trade deals. We must now hold them to their word.

Lovely piece about how the government sought to misuse FoI law, and how the government was defeated. Enjoy the story.

Delighted to have authored this report, launched today, busting one of the biggest myths in British politics. The public doesn't see action on public health as 'the nanny state'. In fact, they want bolder action - incl among key swing voters. This has major implications for policy & politics. 🧵

Dear, brave, risk taking truth telling. Carole Cadwalladr. We all owe her a huge debt. This is her last piece for the Observer... she's been 'let go', along with many others, as Tortoise Media declined to take on her contract. Her substack is broligarchy.substack.com - it's good.

Donald Trump is deporting legal US residents to a foreign gulag, and he has stated publicly that he is moving on to citizens next. This is a Constitutional crisis. Will a single Republican stand up for our Constitution?

In case you missed it ... Here's a damning verdict from the Intelligence & Security Committee regarding Boris Johnson's half-baked report into Russian interference in the Brexit ref. Basically, they didn't even bother looking for any! Surely now it's time for a public enquiry into Putin's Brexit!

Seeing these enormous crowds gathered outside to protest Donald Trump, I am reminded of how Donald had to move his inauguration inside the Capitol because he was afraid (rightly) that the crowds outside would be too small.
