🚨 NEW POLLING: Nigel Farage has suffered another slide in his personal ratings as Reform struggles to maintain the polling advantage it enjoyed earlier this year. The Independent's latest poll tracker says Farage's favourability has fallen to -36, compared with a previous high of -27 last summer.

A fortnight ago, Kemi Badenoch described the single market as 'a great thing'. Now she can't say that Brexit has been good for London. Probably just Kemi being Kemi. But still.

Obviously laughable. But a reminder of how these people would behave in power: Financially benefiting the journalists and pollsters who do their bidding, legally pursuing those who do not.

More than 500 U.S. citizens have been detained by ICE, according to ProPublica. 70% of ICE detainees have no criminal conviction. Trump’s promise to go after the “worst of the worst” was always a lie. It was always a pretext to terrorize Black and brown communities. Remember this.

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.
