Appalled by the violent scenes of police being attacked at the Tommy Robinson rally today. Those responsible should face the full force of the law.

"We need to organise, come together, in trade unions, in neighbourhood groups, in any collectives we can form. At this point, we were all raised in neoliberal cultures of individualism and isolation. Organising sounds foreign and difficult" writes @jksteinberger.bsky.social on @theguardian.com
Trump and Musk have ushered in a terrible era of cataclysm capitalism. But I have a plan to counter it | Julia Steinberger
The speed with which US democracy is being dismantled is dizzying, but if we organise resistance now we can stop this, says Julia Steinberger of the University of Lausanne

NEW: The actions of Trump and Vance in recent weeks highlight something under-appreciated.
The American right is now ideologically closer to countries like Russia, Turkey and in some senses China, than to the rest of the west (even the conservative west).

This will be seen in Europe and the UK as an egregious attack on the rule of law and human dignity, aided and abetted by elements of the current US administration, who evidently see this as fan service.

You can’t make this stuff up. Trump supporters spent the past few years obsessing over an apparent sex trafficking cabal in charge of our country. And yet one of the first things Trump seems to have done, apparently, is push to get the Tates, charged with sex trafficking, released from Romania.

There is just the possibility of the return of a dynamic we haven't seen in British politics in a very long time: the Lib Dems reoccupying a place as a home for liberal/left/progressive protest against Labour. Clear space to do so with Trump- and they've been hitting that hard.
Our latest voting intention: small Reform dip, Tories slightly up & Labour at post election low, but biggest shift is Lib Dems hit 16% their highest from us
🌳 CON 25% (+2)
➡️ REF UK 24% (-2)
🌹 LAB 23% (-2)
🔶 LIB DEM 16% (+4)

Last week, the new owners of the Observer wrote to tell me they would *not* be issuing me with a new contract. 🤷♀️
So...I want to say publicly that it was an absolute privilege to speak on behalf of my Observer colleagues during our strike. I don't regret doing so. And I learned so much from it.
