Seems UK has same dynamic as US. Left struggles to get elected & is thus fearful of taking ANY risk, alienating their base. Right takes any margin of electoral victory as a mandate to charge unapologetically even further to the extreme. This scenario makes progress impossible & regress more likely.

What Nick omits to say is that the process for creating equality still involves creating more wealth, it just distributes it better.

Moore rather gave the game away on Today just now when he mentioned climate change as one of the things on which the BBC should be impartial. Treating the truth and lies as though they are equal isn't impartiality, it's an abdication of the most basic journalistic responsibility

Zohran's campaign was his determination to make New York a city everyone can afford to live in. Huge congratulations!
His success will resonate throughout the world. A story where no one is left behind.
It's time to write that story across England & Wales too.
