“Goodwin’s mood – and his politics – started to turn in around 2016, the year in which the UK voted to leave the EU and the US voted for Trump. This was also the approximate time Goodwin is believed to have tried and failed to secure politics professorships at London universities.”

The UAE where hugging in public can get you arrested, where human rights barely exist, where foreign workers are routinely abused, where critics of the regime routinely disappear, where an Indian nanny was shot by firing squad in March & where marital rape is not a criminal offence but being gay is.

92%: the percentage of funding for Nigel Farage's far-right political party Reform UK that comes from fossil fuel interests.

Across the world, anyone blaming immigrants, etc, it's all just a smokescreen to allow the rich to keep on getting richer by killing our planet.

I am old enough to remember when Nick Robinson berated an RMT spokesperson, as they were taking industrial action against the former Government wanting to introduce driver only trains. I doubt he reflects on the stance he took then.

Mike Johnson refuses to swear in the new Congresswoman Grijalva from Arizona. She will be the final vote for the Epstein file’s release which Donald Trump desperately is suppressing. Johnson has a make believe excuse but it isn’t true.

Sheffield Hallam University appeased China Govt to protect its income from Chinese student enrollment.

It shut down research into forced labour and human rights abuses, intimidated academics, suppressed academic papers.

Outrageous. Universities functioning as corporations. Must be investigated.

I know people mean well when they point out successful, outstanding migrants. They're trying to show the benefits of migration. But to be honest, few of us develop vaccines or win Olympic medals. We just find a new home, do our best, work, learn, live, love - like everyone else.

Farage is winning because politics has been reduced to clickbait.

It’s a shallow spectacle that favours clowns and con-artists.

As @jemmaforte.bsky.social says here - politics has been “repackaged into junk food.”

But there are ways for the left to fight back 👇🏻
