Another exceptional, thought-provoking piece of writing from #themanchestermill.

This is exactly the kind of journalism we should be seeing after events like last week's heinous attack.

We now have two v prominent advocates of Reform - both Matthew Goodwin and Isabel Oakeshott - arguing that Shabana Mahmood (so Rishi Sunak and Paul Ince) can't be English.

That was a settled question long before this match in 1998. This kind of radicalisation by online racists would harm Reform

Disappointed that this BBC news piece about Trump not wanting Mayor Sadiq Khan at the State Banquet doesn't once mention Khan's race or religion. If you leave out that Khan is a brown Muslim man, you gloss over why he's targeted by Trump. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Trump says he didn't want London Mayor Sadiq Khan at state banquet
The mayor of London did not seek or expect an invite to the state banquet, the BBC understands.

Each day I am astounded and mortified by this country’s descent into open and brazen racism

I am equally astounded and mortified that rather than push back on the malign forces taking us to these dark places - an elected Labour government appears more interested in trying to learn from them

This guy's stuff is amazing, but it
Everything in this box makes you an amazing butter chicken/chick pea curry with spicy onion bhajis, cumin seed poppadoms, habanero and lime pickle. And a bottle of dipping sauce.
