To understand Starmer and Reeves growth obsession, watch Shanker Singham talk about SEZs. My latest article for Substack digs into Singham's extraordinary influence over UK politicians, specifically his deregulatory framework for UK SEZs and enterprise cities. open.substack.com/pub/european...

From a nation inexplicably in deep poverty in spite of being the world’s sixth biggest economy, there is one question to which we would like an answer from the Starmer Reeves combo.... Where has all the money gone? @bylineseast.bsky.social | @bylinesnetwork.bsky.social

Never have I seen such a perfect example of Schrödinger's Migrant. Zia Yusuf, asked whose PIP Reform would cut, talks about "foreign nationals". Less than a minute later, same "foreign nationals" are taking all the jobs and damning British youth to life on PIP. 🤡 Utter clownshow. ~AA

I am not a lawyer, just a historian, but one fundamental problem with the political debate about the EU, especially in English publications is that the whole principle of the acquis communnitaire is not understood or taken seriously. The EU is a framework of rules, not an alliance.

WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger. Gen Z women aren't playing around.

John Swinney has been urged to put 'words into action' and implement a full boycott of Israel as it looks to impose the death penalty on Palestinian prisoners

Nigel Farage's favoured Mayoral candidate for Doncaster said black people cannot be English. Reform councillor Alexander Jones claimed being English requires Anglo-Saxon ‘lineage’. The messages were deleted after questions were raised by Byline Times bylinetimes.com/2025/11/05/n...

here is my story about how Zohran's focus on community amid the loneliness epidemic helped young people connect their politics to an organizing infrastructure, that interviewed ZM, and does not use the NYT's framing of "they don't know how to make friends" :-) and also ran 4 days before NYT's lol

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

Trump: "Hear me, President Trump, when I say this: to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us."

Mamdani had pretty much every major media org and all the big money people in American politics trying everything to beat him and they all ate shit tonight. One of the biggest fuck you's ever to the powers that be.

There’s outrage in Israel over the leaked video of Israeli soldiers gang-raping a Palestinian prisoner. However, the outrage isn’t about the rape itself but the fact that the video was leaked in the first place. mondoweiss.net/2025/11/outr... #Palestine #Israel

The job of a good message isn't to say what is popular. The job of a good message is to make popular what we need said. MAGA and Madison Avenue have known and exploited this. But it also very much applies to campaigns for good. www.weekendreading.net/p/bringing-a...

Dunno how to break it to you but we're not going to vote our way to democracy. We're also not suing our way there. As absolutely vital as both of these things are, they're necessary but not sufficient. We need people to get to their bones that we are in extraordinary times & break out of habits.

Six months after ICE apprehended 47 people, including nine kids, in Hays County, Tex., County Judge Ruben Becerra says DHS has ignored his attempts to get answers: “We’re not told why they took them, and we’re not told where they took them. By definition, that’s a kidnapping.”

we have been covering this for months and months now, here (again) is my interview with @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social about this subject from Thursday @teenvogue.com

First Cuomo got Trump's endorsement, now he's got the endorsement of the richest man in the world. It's clearer than ever that there's only one candidate for NYC Mayor who will actually stand up to the oligarchs: Zohran Mamdani.

Three private companies have made a combined profit of £383m from UK asylum accommodation contracts since 2019, according to the National Audit Office. This is not a long-term or sustainable plan. It is a quick fix for cheap political points that does nothing to fix our broken asylum system.

We have had surveys that have shown us exactly this in the UK, France, the EU etc for many years What we need to ask ourselves is why have journalists, politicians, academics etc chosen to focus on surveys that hype immigration This is what I explore here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

When anti-Semites claim to be fighting anti-Semitism they trivialize a very real problem and thereby deliberately make it worse. Attacking universities was always about spreading anti-Semitism, not combatting it. forward.com/fast-forward...

What constitutes hate speech and how does this affect political violence? Listen to the latest interview on @npr.org's 1A "If You Can Keep It" episode with @milleridriss.bsky.social: the1a.org/segments/if-...

About 40 international humanitarian organizations, including Doctors Without Borders, Oxfam, and the Norwegian Refugee Council, accused Israel of obstructing humanitarian aid to Gaza, warning that these restrictions are worsening the humanitarian crisis affecting over two million Palestinians.

Labour can't win against Reform's narrative because the people in charge in Labour generally agree with them and even if they suddenly didn't, they wouldn't be credible changing their position because it would rightly be seen as a political stunt. Starmer's Labour is fucked essentially. Well done.

Wikipedia founder Jimbo Wales is trying to use his name to convince Wikipedia editors to deny the Gaza Genocide, recognized by many human rights organizations. Although he's not seizing control, this is an extreme attempt to sway Wikipedia content in violation of its founding principles.

Germany has been one of the worst Western countries for whitewashing Israel’s genocide in Palestine. Now it wants to do it with AI.

This report from @bisa-bkk.bsky.social on fighting antisemitism within a framework of anti-racist solidarity shows well that there is a better way to do anti-antisemitism and one we must take if we claim to take anti-racism and anti-antisemitism seriously! www.runnymedetrust.org/publications...
