It says a lot that even someone like Blunkett is so concerned about the Government's decision to block so many refugees from ever being granted citizenship in the UK

There is no automatic reversion to "normal" in politics. Nor will the timid business-as-usual which got us into this mess get us out of it.
We'll achieve a better society after Trump and similar tyrants only through massive and focused movement-building. It has to start right now.

1. Hello everyone, Happy New Year. I’m back from a lovely time, though now stricken by a nasty bug.
Right, back to it:
In my catch-up reading, there are several articles about the “collapse of democracy”. Was 2024 the year in which it began to die? But NONE of them seeks to define democracy. 🧵

Excellent summary of Mr Justice Williams' decision to withhold the names of the judges involved in Sara Sharif's case. It's one of the most extraordinary judgments I've seen. I'd be very surprised if it's not overturned by the Court of Appeal next year:
