The collapse of international reputation is often not the result of a single politician, but rather the combined effect of the entire system and the silent majority. Yes, this time we are in trouble. It's entirely thanks to our current "great president."

Can't stop thinking about Keir Starmer saying the Labour Party was "morally bankrupt" when he took over. Babe you were in that party. You were in the cabinet. You're calling me "morally bankrupt" and wondering why you're now having to resign coz everyone hates you.

This is fascinating. The BBC’s own scrutiny of its flagship TV News discusses its clear bias towards selective reporting of crimes committed by immigrants & asylum seekers and no one from the News team will defend it. What is going on behind the scenes? www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Starmer, talking about AI and technology revolution, has probably never got into a never ending circular conversation with an AI bot when trying to resolve an important financial or health problem. AI can bring benefits but it also allows organisations to further distance themselves from customers.

Sadiq Khan, once again proving how savvy he is, compared to the leadership of his party. He understands the need for co-operation and coalition between progressives. He's in the 21st century while the rest of his party remains in the 20th. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

After last week's local elections and Labour's defeat by the Greens in February's Gorton and Denton byelection to the Green party, Khan says he worries the national Labour party is on the wrong track. He says the denigration of the Greens as extremists by Labour strategists is a turn-off for progressive voters at a time when parties on the centre and the left need to work together to see off the growing threat from Reform.

"The national Labour party did incredibly well in July 2024, winning a landslide in the general election. That was built on a coalition of progressives wanting a party that was not the Conservatives - a party that would take on vested interests whether they are Donald Trump or the fossil fuel companies," he says.

"They may well have voted Green in the past, or Liberal Democrat, or be Tory remainers, but they are a key part of that winning coalition that we will need to beat the Conservatives and Reform, and to denigrate them is utterly counterproductive, it turns people off... We need to treat people and their votes with more respect than that and we need to work together to build those crucial coalitions."

Khan is keen to point to his own record of working successfully with the Green party in London on issues including air pollution and youth clubs.

"I'm not suggesting that we'll agree on everything, but actually there are so many things we can work together on and building coalitions is so important, and I've got real evidence of the difference it makes."
