❝ This impulse to conflate Israel with all Jews, to me, is antisemitic at it's root. This doesn't ignore the fact that real antisemitism is on the rise...but, using it as a 'cover' to terminate discussions, investigations or actions serves no one. ❞ – Steve Cousineau (Oct 14, 2026)

Here's something the media is hardly talking about. This Government is set to oversee the steepest fall in living standards in modern times - unless they change course fast. In less than two weeks Labour faces a stark choice - will they tax wealth and back the majority?
Under current projections this is set to be the worst parliament on record for living standards growth - and a bar chart demonstrating it

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.
