I show how Trump's attacks on science and universities are neither random nor new - they fit very precisely into the authoritarian playbook.

Right-wing attacks singling out Sadiq Kahn - who is obviously & demonstrably an exceptionally popular mayor as far as Londoners are concerned - are so blatantly Islamophobic & racist that we don't even say it anymore.
But we should say it. It isn't normal.

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up.
If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds

On the other place, Nick Robinson himself took the time to respond to my question about evidence for his claim that “more & more people” are coming to Europe through Turkey.
What an honour. Too bad his stats are out of date.

How privatisation works (and Thames Water is just the latest example).
1. A government takes a national asset built up with taxpayers' money and the work of public servants over many years, and hands it, for a fraction of its value, to a private company.
2. In doing so, it creates a monopoly.
