Consider this for a second:
A senior State Department official described the changes as: moving away from ‘group identities’ towards protecting ‘natural rights’ bestowed by ‘God, our creator.’
The UK Govt must stand firm in defence of the NHS in the face of rising Christian Nationalism.

The US State Department classified state-funded abortion services, including NHS services, as 'human rights violations'. Make no mistake, this will embolden the UK's anti-choice Christian Nationalist movement, hell-bent on reversing women's rights. humanists.uk/2025/11/27/n...

Despite exhibiting at the Tate Modern, I believe the Catalan artist, poet, feminist, and social-cultural activist Mari Chordà is little known outside her home country. If you want to know more of her fascinating life and work, here's her English wikipedia entry en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mari_Ch...

Recovering Ethel Holdsworth
A new cinematic graphic novel should finally bring one of England’s most overlooked working-class socialist writers to a wide audience.

Trump says he will ‘permanently pause’ migration from ‘third world countries’ after national guard shooting
In a social media post sent late on Thanksgiving, US president said he would ‘end all federal benefits and subsidies to noncitizens’ following Washington DC shooting
Donald Trump has said he will “permanently pause migration from all third world countries,” a day after two national guard members were shot in Washington DC in an attack that has become a political flashpoint in the president’s ongoing crackdown on immigration.
In a social media post beginning with “a very happy Thanksgiving,” sent after 11pm on Thursday, the US president said his administration would “end all federal benefits and subsidies to noncitizens” and remove “anyone who is not a net asset to the United States”. Continue reading...

the fact that the news media isn't blasting across every front page of the country how completely unhinged the president is on a 24/7/365 basis, tells me that the news media is completely complicit in Trump's regime.

Everyone in politics, everyone in media knows what’s happening here: the White House is controlled by a repellant white supremacist who waits with bated breath for any opportunity to run nonwhite people out of America. They know who it is, what he’s doing. But they won’t SAY it.

The traditional English urge to admire (vote for) the privileged who go to elitist private schools with their dumbass 'debate' clubs (i.e. contest to see who speaks most convincingly to manipulate the others) has produced some of the most manipulative, populist grifters in UK politics.
Nigel Farage went to Dulwich college which charges £55,155 a year.
He then went on to be a Stock Trader like Rishi Sunak, he has never worked a day in his life.

En veure gent corrent, he tingut un flashback a la meva epoca... amb 16-17 anys, uns amics sortiem de classe a correr un parell d'hores en divendres, en pluja i fang, i acabavem al pub sense canvi de roba ni dutxa; 4 o 5 pintes de cervesa, fish & chips de cami a casa, i a dormir com un bebé (porc).
