The far right will, of course, treat the Paul Doyle case very differently from one where the accused is darker-skinned or foreign or both. The rest of us must not. That’s kind of the point.

For the FT, I wrote an essay about why the daily experience of the Internet keeps getting worse, tipping us into madness and conflict. I gather ideas about slop, enshittification, and dead internet theory under what I call "the hostile Internet."

Five years ago, the Eye made the case for the government to take back control of British Steel, by renationalising it. Instead, ministers handed it over to Chinese ownership.
Now, five years later, it's being taken back under emergency powers.

When we were in the EU, there were signs all over the place showing how the EU was investing in our towns and regions. And best of all, EU funding was shared out EQUALLY and FAIRLY across all parts of the UK, regardless of which party was in power.
