We released this track last year to raise money for Refuge UK. Domestic violence cases always rise at this time of year so if anyone wants to buy a bit of Sabbath-meets-Stevie Nicks filth to help this great charity, today is a good day to do it.

This seems like a good point to highlight, again, just how politically damaging such policies. As @adambienkov.bsky.social aptly points out with two screenshots, but also supported by multiple studies, playing to the far-right just drives people towards them. 64/

Important new report.
This also holds for immigration, which is why a strategy to fight only far-right PARTIES, rather than more broadly far-right POLICIES (irrespective of who advances them), is addressing only part of the problem.

The main finding is that the increased far right presence in the EP is starting to impact policy. But it's happening primarily through influencing the mainstream, that is, the EPP. For more, read the paper here: www.cer.eu/insights/far...
The far right’s impact on the EU’s climate agenda
The far right is stronger than ever in the European Parliament. And climate policy has become a testing ground for its influence.

The BBC is bloody brilliant. It's central to the fact that British democracy isn't circling the drain like it is in America, it preserves a common culture, and propagates respect for facts. We should defend it as firmly as we fight corruption, because it's a crucial part of integrity in public life.
