Everyone should listen to Chris Murphy's extraordinary warning about Trump on our pod. First, he says the logic must be that the more lawless he gets, the stiffer the resistance. "If I give in and consent to these kinds of tactics then it just normalizes it all." 1/ newrepublic.com/article/2013...

There has been an utter and continual failure to address antisemitism in recent years. I have seen it repeatedly justified. It's vile, and it has led to this. Solidarity today on Yom Kippur with my Jewish friends, and the wider community.

The Kushner-Blair Gaza plan is a moral atrocity – and a policy catastrophe | Josh Paul

We are at Labour conference, telling members about the impact of the proposed bathroom ban. It would devastate trans people’s lives, create unworkable business challenges, and alienate voters. This would be Labour’s legacy on LGBT+ rights for a generation. But it’s not too late for them to stop it.

The ECHR is essential to safeguarding the Good Friday Agreement but Nigel Farage wants to walk away from it. 🚨 Hilary Benn MP: "I cannot think of anything more irresponsible. It's wrong, it's reckless, and we've got to make sure it never happens."

There’s no easy answers for Starmer’s government confronting Reform. But it should understand the opposition. Not ‘ordinary Britons with legitimate grievances’, but a trans-national, far right propaganda machine built patiently over decades with Russian & US funders among others.
