There's something a little depressing in the fact that the British establishment stood up against Enoch Powell's racism in the 1960s than it seems to be willing to be now

I am deeply saddened that the "Zionism is Racism" motion has passed.

As Greens, we will always uphold universal human rights.

We will never tolerate any form of discrimination or harassment.

We will continue to stand in opposition to genocide, ethnic cleansing, apartheid and the illegal occupation.

We will continue to call out the heinous crimes of the Netanyahu government.

And we will continue to work to ensure that the Green Party is an anti-racist party in every way.

We know there is no conflict between supporting the rights of Palestinians and the rights of Jewish people.

The evidence seems thin that people are starting to give Badenoch a hearing. It does raise the more interesting puzzle of what people are thinking when they respond to these job approval questions

Yes, it feels like it leads to the most perverse incentives and I have a friend who works in NHS work force planning and it a nightmare factor that stops so many doctors taking on full time hours.

I skipped high school to buy tickets for The Phantom Menace. The following day my Dad asked ," how was school?" I replied, " It was fine " He then threw this newspaper at me and asked , " how the fuck would you know?" He was so pleased with himself that I didn't actually get in trouble.

Others will have their say about this, but I think it’s worth pointing out that this - or laundered versions of it - are accepted wisdom amongst a big chunk of our political and media classes and it is simply bad for society when the elites have little or no understanding of *the systems they run*

Apparently it's now ok to tell the public to vote again until they give the right answer. (This is also a very odd *Conservative* take on the 2010-15 coalition, which put the party in office, led to its first majority for 23 years and was the only govt in the last 19 years to complete a full term).

There is, I think, a really good argument to be made that the bit of the income distribution that the Liberal Democrats are winning from the Conservatives are specifically overtaxed (the £100k marginal rate + the end of free childcare). Fixing that costs c£4bn, and might actually raise revenue.

This is all consistent with our analysis for @news.sky.com six months ago - Conservatives and Reform supporters are distinct groups who won't necessarily get behind the other party on their 'side' (not least because not all Reform voters are on the economic right).

news.sky.com

Tories face existential challenge from Reform - but electoral pact may not be answer

Analysis from Sky News finds Reform is leading the "battle for the right" - but voters are not keen on a pact with the Conservatives.
