Well that’s at least partly because the British establishment largely agree with him, and are happy he’s doing their dirty work.

I don't know if history is going to repeat itself. However, I will note that the Gilded Age begat the Progressive Era. ... I will also note a new poll by the Associated Press that suggests the emergence of a new consensus in which Trump is becoming symbolic of our own 21st-century Gilded Age.

El-Sayed is so good at this, the party should clone him. But don’t imagine one Senator will save us from Trump and Project 2025 — don’t idolize him, emulate him.

It feels like the media are largely attributing the Democratic surge to Trump’s unpopularity, and not giving nearly enough credit to the Dems who are fighting fire with fire, and actually showing up like progressive Democrats.

Advertising is at best disseminating useful information to people who might want it. At worst, it’s lying, spreading propaganda and feeding addictions. It’s almost always the worst kind. Just ban it, and let internet search connect people with what they want. Our lives would be so much better.

Not for the first time, I’d ask: what does it mean, if the press keep running campaigns claiming that country’s most horrific racists and bigots are the Green Party, the Labour left, Amnesty International, Stonewall, the police (I know) and Gary Lineker? Look around you. Does that feel right?
CAMILLA LONG
Jew-baiting Greens haven't peaked: they're just getting startedIt's strange having a fully fledged, fully funded racist party in our political line-up. It does not comfort me that in Holborn & St Pancras the Greens "only" got nearly 9,000 votes. If the British National Party, another party defined by a racist lie, had won that many votes in any constituency, there would be pandemonium. There would be riots. There wouldn't be amused, jocular analyses in all the main papers. Its leader wouldn't be ushered on to the Today programme as a senior statesman for a light dressing-down by Nick Robinson.
He wouldn't be allowed to repeat propaganda as Polanski did (he sounded as if he was reading lines from a piece of paper). He wouldn't be greeted with a comical, indulgent shrug.
And if I were a Jew in Holborn, or anywhere, watching this, what would I now be thinking? I would be thinking: I now know precisely how many of my fellow constituents want to kill me. Is anyone doing anything to protect me from them?
Just look at the recent hate crime statistics. Jews are now almost ten times more likely than Muslims to be the targets of a religious hate crime. So no one is stopping it. No one is even touching it. This is an unacceptable place for politics to have reached.

The thing is, the press really will get rid of Polanski eventually, just by all screaming in unison until everyone gets sick of it and just wants the hate and bullshit to end. They are exercising their veto and they know they only need to stick at it until it finally works.

All the breathless "Is it over for Zack Polanski??" stuff this morning feels like wishcasting to me. Two thirds of the membership joined under this leadership, removing him would take a super majority on the party council, and also the result was... fine? He's going nowhere. 1/5

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.
