New research out from 38 Degrees: "Despite much public discussion on the threat of Reform UK, for every 10 voters Labour is losing to Reform or the Conservatives nationally, they are losing 16 to the Greens, Liberal Democrats, Plaid or SNP; a group of voters labelled ‘progressive defectors’"
I’ve spent years, decades, obsessing over the Bush Administration’s Iraq WMD lies, writing about them, debunking them.
I can think of no lie about Iraq WMDs told by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al that comes even close to the enormity and absurdity of this lie from Donald Trump.
Unsurprising.

Keir ‘island of strangers’ Starmer accusing the Greens of sectarian politics?
Spencer’s victory speech an object lesson in grace while Reform’s man rages | John Crace
She’s put out a statement saying she wants to ‘learn lessons’ from this, which surprised me, as she’s switched the comments off every one of her social posts for weeks now.
Keir ‘island of strangers’ Starmer accusing the Greens of sectarian politics?
Quite amazed at how the Today Programme just grilled Zack Polanski then had Reform’s chairman on immediately after and asked him zero difficult questions
Gorton and Denton was 127th on the list of Green Party target seats.
To win by such a margin there suggests there is much bigger potential for Green gains in May's local elections than most people expect

The Green victory in Denton is the result which will have the biggest effect on Labour, far more so than a Reform win.
The blithe assumption progressives have nowhere else to go has been proved catastrophically wrong.
Can’t help thinking of this quote from a Labour minister, a year ago…

Various taxes as a proportion of gross household income for nonpensioner households, by whole-population income vigintile, after housing costs: UK, 2023-24
Council Tax has become increasingly regressive.
It now takes nearly 5% of income from the poorest families but barely 1% from the richest. For many, it's become a grinding monthly obligation to rival the Poll Tax.
‘Tinderbox’ UK may be one shock away from food riots, experts say #Climate
Graphic stating billionaires cause homelessness with a quote from London Centric reading "London's worst mass eviction in recent history", referring to Asif Aziz's eviction of hundreds of people. Billionaires should be taxed, the graphic concludes.
Reporting from London Centric has exposed the ongoing mass eviction of hundreds of tenants from properties across London owned by Asif Aziz. Our lives should never be at the mercy of one capricious billionaire: we need to tax billionaire wealth, build social homes, and change our system.
Where to begin with this…

"Holding on to small & significant truths, especially when difficult, can make the difference. Virginia Giuffre did, as she had no choice. Because of the survivors, the Epstein Files were released. They made darkness visible for us all"
My editorial on Andrew, contempt – and creating powerlessness:
Millions of Epstein files suggest the existence of a 'global criminal enterprise' that carried out acts meeting the legal threshold of crimes against humanity, a panel of independent experts appointed by the UN Human Rights Council says.
The housing crisis is forcing people into unsafe shelter, such as vans & cars.

Following a successful Judicial Review brought by Huda Ammori, and a sustained campaign of defiance by defend our juries leading to almost 3,000 ‘terror’ arrests, the ban on Palestine Action has been ruled unlawful in the courts.
🏠 Andy Burnham says clearly and powerfully: housing should be a human right, enshrined in UK law.
When politicians talk about homes in terms of rights, not just markets, it shifts the conversation.
This is what a rights based approach to housing sounds like.
