Cambridge University should have known better, Fleet Street should have known better, the people hungrily absorbing every bit of news about it, making newsrooms feel like they had to keep going with it as a story, should have known better, horrible horrible horrible

Jason Arday’s death is an absolute stain on this country. I feel devastated for him, his family and for people of colour in this country. There’s too much to say about it but there are human consequences to the culture war. When a person becomes the culture war. He was failed.

Condemning riots isn't enough. We need policy action, including an immediate appraisal of X as a vehicle for coordinating far-right disorder. And we need political leadership, to challenge white nationalism as an idea, not to validate it daily and then complain when it turns violent.

At this juncture I’d like to point out: * we’re on the brink of a golden age of medical healing * there’s enough money in the world to solve every problem in the world * a united approach could stop the climate crisis But a small group of sociopaths seeking personal power are going to throw it away.

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet. This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

One by one, Europeans mentioned in the Epstein files who still hold political office are beginning to resign or are being forced out of office. Meanwhile, ruled by an administration almost entirely made up of Epstein associates, the US carries on as if nothing really happened.

Getting lost in statistics about numbers and semantics about ideology misses real issue: This is no "grassroots" movement. It is externally funded and organised. Its network ALL have X blue ticks and Musk beamed in to incite violence. Stop the dark money and astroturfing. The rest will soon wither.

A political party, that's topping the polls, lauding someone who called for human beings to be burned to death should be a moment for national self-reflection. This is not who we are nor who we should become. Reform UK are a plague on our national humanity. We must never permit them to govern.

Nobody knows if civil conflict will start in US. But this is certainly how a civil war could start. The breakdown of constitutional mechanisms to resolve tensions, leading to use of coercive and even lethal force by both ‘sides’. Yep, civil conflict is one foreseeable outcome of this escalation

Farage is moving seamlessly between "asylum-seekers" and Pakistanis, and those without indefinite leave to remain. He is extremely manipulative. His proposals should be seen as a giant crash to the British economy, an extreme push to normalise racism, and a vile destruction of British values.

Violent or destructive left wing protest is framed as delegitimising the protesters' stated cause. Violent or destructive right wing protest is framed as emphasing the need for urgent action on the protesters' stated cause. As always, right wing men are treated as elemental forces without agency.

Labour's immigration announcement today is a reflection of the paucity of honest debate by BOTH political parties over the last decade on this issue. Labour has never made a counter-argument, or been honest about economic cost of immigration curbs, so it's stuck making Tory/Reform arguments 1/n

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Moving up the value chain has made the US the largest economy in the world and one still growing faster than most of its developed rivals. Donald Trump’s stated aim is to move it back *down* the value chain into doing its own manufacturing again. Wild.
