"NPR obtained copies of over a dozen of the new orders, none of which are publicly available. The orders slash hundreds of pages of requirements for security at the reactors. They also loosen protections for ground water and the environment and eliminate at least one key safety role."

Meaning Trump eliminated or gutted the safety regulations that have protected us from a Three Mile Island level disaster for decades so his oligarchs can get richer. Make America Russia Again.

It is genuinely astounding how Reform, Labour and the Tories have decided to fight tooth-and-nail for the votes of the same 30-35 percent of the electorate and completely ignore everyone else.
Badenoch's strategic genius on full display here, telling centrist voters to fuck off, including in the 60+ seats the party lost to the Lib Dems, so she can focus on competing with an extreme right party ahead of her in the polls.

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the six million Jewish people murdered by the Nazis, as well as countless other victims.

We honor their lives by rejecting the evils of antisemitism, dehumanization, and authoritarian violence wherever they appear.

Never again means never again for anyone.

One of the stories of British politics over last 15 years has been Conservatives and Labour valuing narrower and narrower ideological coherence over their historic, broad coalitions and then being astonished that their vote shares keep falling.

Put simply: if you tell voters you don't want them or are unwilling to represent them, they will vote for someone else.

Keir Starmer has accused the Reform UK candidate in Gorton & Denton byelection of “toxic division” after he refused to disown claim that UK-born people from minority backgrounds aren’t necessarily British.

“Immigrants don’t integrate” they say. And now we hear, from the Reform horse’s mouth , that even if you do, even if you are UK born, even if you have a British passport- if you have a different skin tone, different surname or are just someone they don’t like, you will NEVER be accepted.

The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions.

It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

“No progress at all was made in reducing overall levels of relative hardship”

Misery caused by Tory austerity and failures of governance; prioritising ruinous ideology over social investment.
Reform wants voters to be angry, but plans more of exactly the same.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.
