Good interview in the paper, this. I think Sadiq is right: London 'needs' to be less successful than it is for a bunch of political arguments here in the UK to work, hence the fictions being invented about it:
Populists attack London because it is ‘progressive and successful’, says Sadiq Khan
Rightwing attacks on one of the world’s most visited cities at odds with reality, says mayor

There's joy in standing up for what's right. Especially when we all stand together.
Terrible things are happening right now because of Trump tyranny & #ICELawlessness.
Do we hide our heads in the sand or do all we can to stop it?
Start by telling family & friends what's happening.

Sometimes all the wisdom and truth in the world can be found on the side of an 18th century Wedgwood teapot;
Health to the sick
Honour to the brave
Success to the lover
And freedom to the slave
Sharing this one again because it's awesome, someone should start reproducing these.

My advice, as someone who enjoys a wonderful relationship with parents from whom he was once estranged (before the age of internet chatrooms): if you want your children back, start with self reflection and contrition. Oh, and don't write for a newspaper that hates them.
Sarah Ditum: the voice of parents, some driven mad with hate by the very newspaper for which she writes, who rejected their children and now struggle with the consequences.
Sarah, I'm pretty sure hectoring them from the pages of The Times won't bring them back.

This whole time people on the left have been clear—we don't care if Bill Clinton is in the Epstein files. Release them in full & let justice be served. We're not in a cult and that's what justice demands.
Now Bill Clinton is calling for their full release.
And suddenly MAGA is silent. Fascinating.

The Trump administration, at the President’s personal direction, is in the process of moving every death sentence commuted by Biden to this prison. They will be isolated 22 hours a day with one hour per MONTH of contact with the outside world. In a sane court, that is cruel and unusual punishment.
