1. In 2009 I wrote this. I argued that Peter Mandelson's department “functions as a fifth column within government, working for corporations to undermine democracy and the public interest.”
This thread explains what I saw, and reaches a startling conclusion.🧵

Alex Pretti is dead because of Trump’s Border Patrol.

He was an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA. He wasn’t threatening anyone. He wasn’t breaking the law. At a protest in Minneapolis, he tried to help a woman who was being pepper-sprayed by federal agents. That’s it. That was his crime.

This week's column argues that we cannot fight the climate crisis without also fighting the epistemic crisis.

Keir Starmer shouldn't wait until the likely fiasco of the May local elections. If he has any concern for party and country, he should step aside now, giving his successor as long as possible to undo the damage of his disastrous premiership and restore hope in politics.
