It’s happening. MI5 is investigating the funding of Stephen “Tommy Robinson” Yaxley-Lennon amid the suspicion that Russia may have stoked the UK fascist riots. The investigation “may also extend to Farage”, says former MI6 officer Christopher Steele.

This is a useful corrective to the wingnuts who say Khan has lost control of London. It’s actually marginally safer than other parts of the country. You’re more likely to be a victim of knife crime in Cleveland, but you won’t hear the Tories saying the Mayor of Teesside has lost control. Wonder why.

Always relevant.
Whenever I try to get people to understand where they *actually* are
in the class war, the reminder that "you are *always* three very bad
months away from being homeless, but *never* three very good months away from being a millionaire", can be clarifying.

Wondering if wealth inequality is out of control? Well, Jeff Bezos made over $7.9 million an hour last year. In just 13 minutes, he made the equivalent of what a typical person earns in a lifetime. Don't tell me that the rich can't afford a wealth tax.

The response to the Epstein list shouldn’t be partisan. Democrat or Republican — if you’re defending child traffickers and rapists because they’re “on your side,” then you’re defending child trafficking and rape. This isn’t complicated. It’s a moral layup. Investigate them all.

If you're a mainstream outlet and you're being gamed this easily by a guy who is laying out his playbook days or months in advance, maybe the problem isn't the right-wing grifters. Maybe the problem, after all, is the mainstream places that allow themselves to be gamed by carnies.
