In any other major city in Europe the streets of Soho would obviously be pedestrianised and businesses/visitors on a glorious day like today could enjoy al fresco dining. But thanks to Westminster Council and the way we give outsized power to absurd local complaints, not here!

“Recently deputized” means “frustrated gym bros who wanna carry guns and boss people around.” It’s always the biggest failures at life who sign up first to be enforcers, torturers and concentration camp guards. This is beyond fucking dangerous and it’s gonna get people killed.

Thinking of voting Reform UK because you want a change? Be careful what you wish for – Reform UK are salespeople offering simplistic solutions that come with baggage that would cost you and the country @cliffmitchell.bsky.social @centralbylines.co.uk

Not really a party politics commentator - but it does seem odd that both Labour and the Tories are obsessing over voters who, if they vote, will vote Reform anyway.

Oh FGS. Anything that upsets corporate power and/or the far right is now deemed by the BBC to invoke "public controversy", and must therefore be nixed. The BBC has done more to censor public debate than any other organisation in the UK. And still it goes on.

Despite there being mounting evidence of Brexit being a monumental exercise only in self-harm… We continue down this ridiculous road because politicians are too scared to re-open the debate.

It’s extraordinary that so much media still reports on Trump with the old, redundant tools of the trade. He lied about Ukraine, then he tried to extort Ukraine, and having failed he threatens to walk away from Ukraine. The idea that he was ever going to do anything unwelcome to Putin is ridiculous.

We’ve reached a point where we have other things we have to focus on,’ says Marco Rubio, US Secretary of State, about the war in Ukraine. Remember — Pres Trump was going to get a ceasefire in his first 24 hours, then by Easter. Now Russia can continue attacking Ukrainian civilians at will.

Right wing populist politics has been so damaging and so brain-achingly tedious this last decade. Look at where we are as a result. Far poorer, weaker, more divided, isolated from the EU and trying not to piss off an egomaniacal lunatic in the White House. Sovereignty at its most vulnerable.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.
