It was good to hear Ed Miliband making an explicit case on #Today this morning that reducing inequality should be a core objective of economic policy. He's much the most persuasive advocate of the government's economic strategy, & of the philosophical case for things like the workers' rights bill.

Happy Diwali, Illinois! I hope that the Festival of Lights brings you peace during this time of celebration and reflection — that even in the darkest of days, the light of wisdom and unity will always triumph.

Quand je dis vivre avec le fascisme ça veut dire confronter le fascisme.

Responding to terrible proposals from terrible people with variations of "we're doooomed" gets us nowhere. Argue against them. Organise. Join/support parties, candidates, NGOs, trade unions that oppose the terrible proposals. Point out that much the media is crap. Fight back FFS.

No immigrant has ever sacked me, or cut my wages, or offshored my job, or closed my hospital, or stopped my mum's disability benefits, or crashed the economy. Those things were all done by white English men who went to Oxford and wore a nice suit.

Where the separate divisions of ANTIFA landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944:

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

He’s like Saruman but dumber.

I hope Labour MPs are watching out very carefully for how Starmer responds to today’s rally, and are resolved to do their utmost to bring about a change of leader - however difficult - if he fails the test. None of us have the luxury of indulging a weak PM when we are facing Fascism.

I’ve just seen a video of a white male at the demonstration today , calling for Keir Starmer to be assassinated. He then says, he needs to be shot. I hope this man is arrested. Dark dark times ahead. These thugs think they have taken over our streets.

Out of curiosity, anyone fancy laying a bet on the odds of a Labour Minister being in the media today talking about how they need to "listen to concerns" and have "tougher border policies"?

The way Faridge is going on, you'd think Brexit has been a great success. Nobody subjects him to scrutiny.

Release the Epstein Files!

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice. The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

The richest 10% own 60% of all the wealth in the UK, and their share is growing. Why not demonstrate against this rather than scapegoating asylum seekers.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

Global opinion on Trump is polarized and largely negative. Per Pew's June 2025 survey of 24 nations, a median 34% express confidence in his leadership, with 62% lacking it—lowest in Europe and allies, where he's seen as arrogant and dangerous. Trump would hate if you liked & reposted this 🤣

Hm. Now let me think 🤔🤔🤔 www.spectator.co.uk/article/why-...

2 Chainz sampled Tom Lehrer's The Old Dope Peddler 60 years after it had been recorded. Lehrer's response to the license request: "As sole copyright owner of 'The Old Dope Peddler', I grant you motherfuckers permission to do this. Please give my regards to Mr. Chainz, or may I call him 2?"

No country honors those who tried to destroy it by naming military bases after them. The Confederates fought against the United States—they shouldn’t be celebrated or memorialized by our military. It’s time for this to end.

Reading about the new trade deal with India & reflecting on the fact that, almost a decade after the referendum, the realities of international trade are reported with a tiny fraction of the excitement & attention dedicated to the nonsense Brexiters spouted on the subject.

ATTN: If you're one of the Treasury employees that handled Epstein's Suspicious Activity Reports, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻

As Heather Cox Richardson writes, The Epstein story is about more than the sex trafficking of girls. It's also about rich and privileged people evading accountability for breaking the law." People like Donald Trump, in other words.

There’s no barrier to going back into the team… …just our own vision and wherewithal.

A Manhattan made with a generous 2 oz of Bourbon (Elijah Craig) and a scant ounce of Cocchi, plus a dash of bitters and a Luxardo cherry, not to mention a twist of a very fresh orange. To my mind this is the greatest cocktail. (Cocchi is neither too sweet nor too bitter).

It will never be comprehensible or forgivable that the man who incited a deadly insurrection and attack on our Capitol was able to run again and retake the levers of power.

“This is Brexit Britain. We voted to take back control of our borders, not to accept a deal given to us by a French President” says Nigel Farage Imagine his shock when he finds out Brexit is a primary factor in the sky rocketing number of small boat crossings youtu.be/cKXFjbxSBBI?...

Lest we forget - Brexit has made all of us less well off, but the poor suffer most.

I have just come off X. I feel better.

Let's remember this.

Labour are insane. 82% of their GE 2024 voters want to rejoin the EU. Only 12% of those who voted Labour in 2024 are opposed to the idea. (YouGov) In fact, 2024 Labour voters are even more keen than 2024 LibDem voters to rejoin the EU! (Maybe because loads of LibDems lent them votes in 2024?)

Populism is never about making life better for the poorest - Brexit has hit them hardest. I am fortunate to be in the top bracket, and I voted Remain! I despise those who beguiled the gullible and vulnerable.

Show your working: a challenge to Reform UK eastangliabylines.co.uk/politics/sho...

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

UK-EU reset achieved, now to turn into detailed agreements. For both sides the challenge of dealing with some difficult issues while maintaining momentum. Already signs from my conversations that they aren't quite speaking the same language. www.tradeandbusiness.uk/news/enterin...

Watching the right now oppose the part of the second amendment that guarantees a well regulated militia under state control is… something.
