Former Chief Medical Officer calls out Streetingβs highly politicised βtrialβ of puberty blockers. Meanwhile @goodlawproject.org have uncovered a spike in trans youth ending their own lives because they canβt access appropriate care. This is a national scandal.
The greens are finally coming under serious scrutiny+ and they're rattled
Telegraph acknowledges Green Party has won a "seismic byelection."
And then there have been two polls this week showing us way in front of Labour and closing in on Reform?
Rattled? We're growing rapidly!

The culmination of neoliberal epistemology is betting markets replacing all forms of knowledge and critical discourse.
It's great for authoritarianism since it trains people to predict and hedge around world events rather than shape them or take responsibility in any way.

βThe Iraq War generated a drastic increase in jihadist terrorism, a serious migration crisis in the Eastern Mediterranean and a generalised increase in energy prices.β

Sanchez: βWe are not going to be accomplices to something that is bad for the world and that is also contrary to our values and interests, simply because of the fear of reprisals from some.
We have absolute confidence in the economic, institutional and I would also say moral strength of our country
βBut which in reality, seen in perspective, produced the opposite effect, it unleashed the greatest wave of insecurity that our continent has suffered since the fall of the Berlin Wall.β

More Sanchez: β23 years ago, another US administration dragged us into a war in the Middle East. A war that, in theory, it was said at the time, was being fought to eliminate Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction, bring democracy and ensure global security.

βAnd it is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure and, in the process, fill the pockets of a few.β

Spanish PM Pedro SΓ‘nchez on Iran: βSpain is against this disaster. Because we understand that governments are here to improve people's lives, to provide solutions to problems, not to make people's lives worse.

Farage & Co:
'It was other people that did the wrong Brexit'
'It's lack of central Govt funding by Labour that means we have to increase Council Tax in our areas'
'It was dirty tricks by Labour and Greens that meant we lost Gorton & Denton'
'It's never our fault'
If you wanted to see the complete and utter destruction of the Labour Party, you could not ask for a better partner than Keir Starmer. Please keep torching your own voter coalition.
The current argument of the British right is that Muslims turned out in "blocs" with "family voting" to cast their ballots for a party led by a gay Jewish man, and this shows that multiculturalism has failed, voting is "sectarian" and we are in a crisis.
Hmmmmmm.
The small, brave band of MPs who represent the trampled, not the tramplers, has a very welcome new member.
We should all ask ourselves why, in a supposed democracy, such representatives are so rare.

Fight vs hide dimension will dominate the left vs moderate axis of conflict in upcoming intraparty conflicts.
The entire Democratic strategy debate β "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? β is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close!

As the analysis starts of the Gorton and Denton result, I wanted to flag some aspects that my experience yesterday suggests are being over or under-played
(Caveats - I went to Longsight, Gorton and Denton town centres and spoke to as many people as I could, but it was mostly during the working day)
The New World. Yet another Brexit prediction turns to dust. The europhobes said if we left the EU, other countries would follow. Wrong. In fact, the opposite has happened - nations are now clamouring to get in. 26 February.
Brexit promised us Β£350 million a week to fund our NHS, but a decade later, the UK is losing Β£250m a day in lost tax revenue. It's time to repair our relationship with the continent to reclaim our place at the heart of Europe.

Mamdani is obviously a prodigious political talent; so charismatic he just turned Trump into a parasocial pal.
Katie Wilson in Seattle seems like an interesting control group: Same basic agenda, but without being an electrifying campaigner. Still won.
It's the message, not just the messenger.
Nobody in this country seems to know that immigrants, and in particular EU citizens in Britain contribute a lot more in taxes than take in public services.
Whereas local Brits pay a lot fewer taxes than take in public services.
Without immigrants, UK will be bankrupt.
