My least popular (and most correct) view is that cars should be automatically limited to the local speed limit. Put the pedal to the floor and you still can't go over 25mph in a residential area.

There is no possible justification for limiting e-bikes to 15mph but not cars.

Amyl & the Sniffers make outstanding music, but they're also a 2025 standout for standing by their fans & supporting live music venues; after a free Melbourne gig was cancelled at the last minute, the band turned their performance fee into bar tabs at seven local joints, covering $35K in free drinks

I'm genuinely grateful for the solidarity, irrespective of how rare this is from a politician. But fascism can't be reduced to displaced economic concerns. It doesn't stand up analytically, it won't help politically or strategically, and I really wish the left (of which I'm part) wouldn't do this.
The scenes on our streets are shameful consequences of decades of austerity - government after government fanning the flames of anti migration instead of tackling inequality.
We can & must make different choices. Solidarity to all communities under attack. We stand together.

My awkward opinion is that Palestine Action shouldn’t have been proscribed and doing so was a draconian mistake, but that the protests valorising them show there is no cause the English middle class can’t make to be about the English middle class.
