I really hope these 54 people include Boris Johnson. As Mayor, the cuts Johnson made left the London Fire Brigade in tatters, after he ignored warnings not to in 2016. He needs to be held accountable

The VAT cut on electricity bills in October is not the most cost effective way to support vulnerable households this winter.
25% of the cash benefit of a VAT cut will flow to the richest fifth of families, compared to 16% for the poorest fifth. 
 Targeted energy discounts could see low and middle income families gain more than twice as much.

NEW How the BBC turned the litigation table on Trump The president now faces a dilemma about revealing his business records By me at @prospectmagazine.co.uk www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/th...
And so in another splendid Order in this case, the court sided firmly with the BBC. Nothing in the litigation rules means that disclosure can be delayed. Trump’s lawyers wanted to hide behind an “expert report” at trial setting out the purported damage. But the court said the documents need to be produced now.

Trump’s representatives even contended that producing the business records would be “overbroad” even though they are claiming an astronomical amount of damage to Trump’s commercial interests. Trump and his lawyers essentially wanted it both ways: to mount a wide-ranging damages claim but with the narrowest range of produced documents to support that claim. The court said no.

As with many other things to do with Trump, this case smacks of bluster but little tactical (and still less strategic) thought. What seemed a powerful first move was not really thought through. Trump presumably assumed the BBC, like other entities he has brought suits against, would simply fold. But the BBC also said no.

'We need our political leaders to stand up and be brave and defend Britain’s diverse, multicultural society... We need some boldness, and we haven’t had that.' Read our interview with Nick Lowles, Chief Executive of @hopenothate.org.uk on our website now. newhumanist.org.uk/articles/qa-...
Christian nationalism's elite is far more devout than Tommy Robinson

You have the Tommy Robinson version of Christian nationalism, which is an appropriation of religion for political reasons... more serious is the rise of post-liberalism in Catholic and other branches of Christian theology. That includes people like the Cambridge theologian James Orr, who is now Reform UK's Head of Policy, media mogul Paul Marshall, who co-owns GB News, JD Vance, and the tech entrepreneur Peter Thiel, who is part of a slightly different wing. They seem more respected, and less politically toxic, but actually they are driven by a much more defined and devout political view. There’s serious money behind them and they have influence.
