It’s awesome we got to see a real life episode of Columbo play out this week, with Mamdani refusing to be drawn in as Giuliani says he shouldn’t be near the 9/11 memorial and that He, Rudolph Giuliani took care of the city after the towers fell, only for Mamdani to release the evidence the next day

This is the most fucked up and immediately harmful policy decision I think I've ever seen in adult trans healthcare in the UK, and that's saying something. The Welsh Gender Service is one of the best in the country. It is widely praised by the patients it helps. That is why it is being targeted.

The creator of Harry Potter is dedicated to anti-trans ideology, something she shares with the far-right, and she's vowed to continue to use her immense wealth to fund anti-trans legislation. If you share her views on the anti-science, bigoted cult of transphobia then that's up to you.

I'd think it was pretty pathetic for the mayor of a capital to post celebrating a big shop opening if the shop was some random capitalist endeavour. But to celebrate a new Harry Potter shop when we know Jowling Kowling Rowling uses her fortune to fund anti-trans litigation doesn't seem very ally-y.

So when governments say "but the ultrarich might leave the country", we should respond, "mission accomplished then." Get them and their ill-gotten gains out of our politics and out of our hair. And hopefully, with global measures, out of everyone's.

This point needs to be made over and again: The main purpose of wealth taxes should not be to raise revenue. That's a small and secondary benefit. The main purpose should be to *reduce the fortunes of the ultrarich*. Why? Because those fortunes present a massive threat to democracy and public life.

Once again today we see who Farage really is, and what Reform really stands for. A leader who bends over backwards for billionaire donors, politicians using the Trumpian playbook, a party swimming in a sea of corruption. Britain deserves so much better than this.

At the heart of the Reform project are allegations of big money buying influence. They wrap themselves in the flag while selling our future. We can be in no doubt about what they'd do in power. They would rip apart our communities and serve their crypto paymasters.

Yes, this is Britain. It helps to understand that all of this pure unimpassioned reason was sold to the public as cold common sense, in a war against threatening ideological insanity.
give you an idea of how British politics has degraded into deranged radical-right lunacy, just consider what the public reaction would have been had a politician in the 60s or 70s proposed the following:
