I don’t think Danny Kruger is being taken seriously enough - this is far more extreme than anything the Conservatives were allowed to get away with. He is effectively saying that being anti-racist and being trans are contrary to British national identity and his party is leading the polls.
Reform are so dangerous and this headline doesn’t do it justice. I also think a piece like this should start with the politician‘s core views just to emphasise the urgency.

So grateful to know so many doctors, nurses, researchers, scientists & other healthcare professionals in the TB field who care for patients, carry out world-class research that leads to new innovations & better services, & advocate for patients & their local communities. They really are the best ❤️

I don’t say it as much these days, but as a patient under multiple specialities I still back resident NHS doctors striking for fair pay and decent working conditions. That will never change. No guilt trips here. Join a union and fight for what you deserve ✌🏻

The "why do you care so much about the NY mayoral election" takes strike me as pretty obtuse. The world's sole superpower is being taken over by fascists, and this was part of the struggle to define what the opposition to that will look like. That obviously has major implications for all of us?

It is a low bar possibly, but seeing a politician win, especially a significant win, by galvanising disenfranchised voters on a platform of unity, compassion and hope, a platform which supported marginalised groups such as migrants and trans/non-binary individuals, feels pretty important right now.
