If the Overton Window ever moves back, which it may, it will leave a great many well known commentators exposed as nasty, opportunistic and racist. Which is what they are.
NEW headline voting intention from Ipsos 📊Reform UK +8-point lead over Labour – down from +15 in Nov 2025 📊The Green’s vote share of 12% is down from 15% in Nov 2025 📊Both Labour and Conservatives up from Nov 2025 – Labour +4, Conservatives +3
Even The Times today is peddling this ridiculous Gorton & Denton poll from FindOutNow, funded by a Labour donor & based on voting intentions from just 51 voters (almost 2% each). The gullibility and lack of statistical understanding of some media colleagues never ceases.
Elon Musk has finally published X's algorithm. At its heart: an equation for engagement that scores an argument 150x more than a "like" In my Times essay, I look at social media power over the news - and the tricks that are only now becoming visible. thetimes.com/comment/column…
Beautiful tradition in Warsaw: Every year on January 27th, this old tram covers a route around the WW II ghetto, not taking any passengers to remind of those lost, who were no longer allowed to use the trams and were later deported and murdered. #HolocaustMemorialDay
Put simply: if you tell voters you don't want them or are unwilling to represent them, they will vote for someone else.
One of the stories of British politics over last 15 years has been Conservatives and Labour valuing narrower and narrower ideological coherence over their historic, broad coalitions and then being astonished that their vote shares keep falling. theguardian.com/politics/2026/…
So, that’s why today I’m thinking of Sulamita, because otherwise nobody will. Here she is again. Maybe you’ll think of her, too. Thanks for reading.
Right now, this feels like neither the time nor the platform on which to repost this to the desired impact. But, I suppose, that's exactly why I must.
It’s Holocaust Memorial Day. This year, I’m thinking of a woman called Sulamita Szapiro. Here she is as a student. We weren’t related and I don’t even know much about her, but I’m pretty sure that remembering her still falls to me. This is a thread about why.
Chris Mason doesn’t even hide the Reform narrative obsession now
Reform now has Boris Johnson’s… - chancellor (Zahawi) - communities sec (Jenrick) - culture sec (Dorries) - attorney general (Braverman) - political sec (Kruger) - skills minister (Jenkyns) - Northern powerhouse minister (Berry) - health minister (Caulfield) - parliamentary…
The Trump administration seeks to induce “constant fear — a fear of violence from which some people may at a given moment be spared, but from which no one will ever be truly safe,” writes @mashagessen. “State terror has arrived.” nyti.ms/4qIngTo
Am I alone in thinking what is happening in Minneapolis is far more important than Andy Burnham this weekend? And I speak as a northerner....
If you’re shocked by what you’re seeing in Minnesota (and you should be) and what to understand what is really happening in Minnesota, listen to our special documentary episode from Friday, via link here. What is happening there should not be happening in a democracy. But it is.
