Opinion | The right’s obsession with the “lawless London” narrative has less to do with facts, and more to do with political opportunism and a hatred of multiculturalism, @benjamin-clark.bsky.social writes.

🎥: AOC’s former adviser @saikatforcongress.bsky.social is running for Nancy Pelosi’s seat in Congress. In part two of his chat with Prospect’s @benjamin-clark.bsky.social, he discusses the Green New Deal, Abundance, and why Dems spend too much time fundraising.

Banger by @jerusalem.bsky.social. I’m a YIMBY so naturally like Abundance, but like Matt Breunig I don’t want a supply focus counterposed to welfare expansion. Here Demsas shows why we need both. (Look forward to chatting to her for Prospect in a few weeks!) www.theargumentmag.com/p/creative-d...

In today’s @crikey.com.au, I wrote about the furore over Albanese’s appearance at the UK Labour conference. The problem wasn’t that it was partisan, but that he intervened in the internal politics of UK Labour, backing Starmer against a rising chorus of critics. www.crikey.com.au/2025/10/06/a...
