Right, I mean, so many follow-ups, like 'Keir, buddy, have you seen your OWN X feed lately?'
It’s all very reasonable in the article. It’s just that he’s going to be absolutely furious when he sees the vile stuff the Home Office keep posting to the socials. Any minute now.

Retrospective changes to rights, the advancing of what is - still! - an extreme position on who is and isn't British have become so normal that leftwing people on here will fall over themselves to go 'what on earth could he be talking about when he says the next election is different?'

Rabbi Ruttenberg as ever gives us the moral clarity and truth telling we need. Thank you
Human lives have value, and it’s urgent that we do everything that we can to preserve them
even if they don’t contribute to capitalism.
I would say: I can’t believe we’ve forgotten this basic concept, but I wonder if we, as a society, broadly understood– that is to say power – ever understood it.

Monday's meeting of Starmer, Macron and Merz could turn out to be even more important because of the US national security strategy. They need to decide whether to say in public what they are thinking in private: that the threat is no longer just Putin, it's also Trump

I haven't stopped thinking about this essay since I read it.
To choose life, not just for ourselves but for everyone and a bountiful one for all.
To choose life, not just for ourselves but for everyone and a bountiful one for all.
The work of bringing a more whole world into being is us, friends.
If there's anything else that might happen, great, but in the meantime: we have our marching orders to fight for love, care, justice, compassion, life.
Not complicated.

And yet he has chosen, like Starmer, Merz and others, to be silent in public on the anti-European agenda of the Trump administration. He believes that Trump is best flattered and manipulated, rather than opposed. For how long?
