Russia’s banned from the World Cup & Olympics. The US is hosting both while openly cheating, facilitating genocide, kidnapping and murdering the leaders of sovereign states and murdering fisherman in boats and posting the snuff films on the official White House account.
It’s weird how - when the press goes looking for racism in Britain in the 2020s - the only place it can ever be found is in left wing politics, public services, unionised professions and academia. Isn’t that remarkable, given what you can see and hear every day.
His legacy is Gaza, Morgan McSweeney, industrial-scale dishonesty, proscribing protestors as terrorists, fixing trials and so on, and if it takes a while for that to become clear, this is only because all that was more than acceptable to the political class and the commentariat.
If you can’t tax billionaires and trillionaire because “its unrealized gains until they cash out,” then stop letting them leverage that wealth for loans, as collateral, or as equity.

Why, we cry, are they at home! There are abundant Saturday jobs, graduate schemes, and home ownership is but a skip away!
Sure mate: we sold most of our stuff in a crazed 50-year project to drown government in a bathtub and put as much as possible beyond democratic control; now ministers only announce crackdowns and decide which donors get contracts. And that’s the fault of four French philosophers.
Shameful Trumpist intimidation aimed at one of our most respected reporters here by Starmer’s thugs. Sir Keir could stop this with a word, but he chooses not to. I think we all know why.
The obvious way for Labour to push back against Reform would be to focus unrelentingly on an authentic class politics based exclusively on the question of who does and doesn't have shared economic interests, against Farage's fake class politics of flags, beer and private equity.
