There is an escape route for Labour from certain disaster at the general election: use their Commons majority to ram through PR. It’s cynical, + they’d never govern alone again, but it locks Reform out of No10. The left (Lab, Gr, LD) still have a majority over the right in the UK
As of today 154 UK Councils are led by Labour, 12 led by Reform. Can anyone at the BBC or Sky or the UK media generally explain the support, coverage and platforming of this shoddy little Reform. Why do you do it?
Reform’s Basildon leader films residents on their doorsteps with hidden camera glasses, was arrested on suspicion of stalking and harassment, posted footage mocking a disabled young man, and has been accused of bullying a Reform colleague, according to a @BylineTimes investigation.
Trump has several pressure points at his disposal to postpone, restrict and ultimately cancel democracy, writes @TimothyDSnyder for @thenerve_news

Having worked out that voters don’t like it when you threaten to dismantle one of the UK’s greatest achievements - the NHS -, he resorts to bare face lying.
Be clear, there is no doubt that if he gets into power, the NHS will be over.
You need to read this.
@TimothyDSnyder has been warning us since 2016 on the risk Donald Trump poses. He knows: he’s one of the world’s leading experts on authoritarianism & has always been ahead of the game.
V proud to publish him in @thenerve_news. He’s an essential voice.
We keep hearing that "Proportional Representation would risk giving power to extremists", so let's make it clear:
Under FPTP, an extremist party could win a supermajority on a small minority of the vote.
Under PR, that's impossible.
We know what's safer.
Very honoured that the forthright independent online title The Nerve, run by Sarah Donaldson, Jane Ferguson, Imogen Carter, Lynsey Irvine & Carole Cadwalladr, is running an article by me this Friday about ‘journacide’ — the deliberate killing of journalists in Gaza and Lebanon.
Please read the great @JohnSimpsonNews writing for @thenerve_news On Israel’s ‘journacide’.
The deliberate targeting & murder of journalists with absolute impunity
We are seven months away from the most consequential midterm election in the history of the United States. Meanwhile, we are fighting a war. These are the structural conditions for a coup attempt in which a president tries to nullify elections and take permanent power as a dictator. If we see this, we can stop it, overcome the movement that brought us to this point, and make a turn towards something better.

Nobel Peace Prize winner and former IAEA Director General Mohamed @ElBaradei has urged the international community to stop President Trump: “Please, do everything in your power before this madman turns the region into a fireball.”
Trump has debased the US and wrecked its reputation for generations to come.
The damage might be irreversible.
TACO Trump so desperate to bail out of the disaster war he's trapped in...
Come sort out our mess Europe, so I can run away & claim victory.
