🔴If Labour wants to win the argument on immigration, it needs to stop engaging in toxic rhetoric and performative politics and return to its values. More in my guest post for @graceblakeley.substack.com's Substack. 👇 substack.com/@nicolakelly...

observer.co.uk/listen/the-s... Listen: The space for non-violent protest has shrunk, the UK state is jailing people for years whilst the rest of Europe measures sentences in days. Where does the climate activism movement go next - and why is Labour defending Tory laws? New pod for The Observer

The radical climate protest group Just Stop Oil delighted supporters and infuriated opponents in equal measure. But then the government began to crack down on them. So where are they now?

I had my first byline in The Observer in November 1992…so it feels incredible to be back in the news pages on such a momentous day in its long history. And now, it’s got a website! Theobserver.co.uk

Glad to be part of the next chapter for @theobserveruk.bsky.social with this look at the UK’s unprecedented crackdown on non-violent protest - inspired by Braverman and Patel, delivered by a justice system which has imposed record sentences for climate change activists

Great piece by my @tortoisemedia.bsky.social colleague @geordiedav.bsky.social about where Musk's govt cuts could fall He’s promising to use DOGE to save $2 trillion in federal spending and cut the budget by a third. It may be harder than he thinks.

youtube.com/shorts/HiVbu... Big day at the Royal Courts of Justice for Liberty - and a baffling one too, as Home Sec @yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social decides to appeal an earlier ruling that found @suellabravermanmp.bsky.social acted unlawfully in her crackdown on the right to protest

It’s shocking the Gov’t is seeking to appeal Liberty’s High Court win against the former Tory government. As pointed out “it’s a concerning disregard for the rule of law & goes against recent statements by the Gov’t they would NOT abuse the use of secondary legislation” youtube.com/shorts/HiVbu...

www.nytimes.com/2024/12/02/m... Fascinating read. I once visited a nuclear bunker deep under the snows of North Dakota where two bored missileers sat at a Cold War-era desk, the two keys needed to launch just too far apart for one person to turn them alone. Mundane and horrifying all at once.

JD Vance may have been fairly quiet since the election but Trump’s picks have put JD’s vision for America firmly on show. Here’s a podcast I made with @geordiedav.bsky.social a few weeks before election day. Much of it rings true today. @tortoisemedia.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/2qpi...
