Over many decades, poll after poll have shown the British people are moderates. What's happened is, by staying calm, Labour is hoovering up all the centrists the Tories have left behind them. Maybe we can then demonstrate the power of more progressive policies, slowly

The world over it's as clear as day, Covid is NOT a type of flu and is far more dangerous
At the peak of the late-summer Covid wave, U.S. health systems were testing approximately evenly for COVID, flu, & RSV. Yet, *nearly all* positive cases were Covid. #PublicHealth guidance must disabuse the myth that Covid conforms to the flu/RSV seasonal pattern.

In 1968 Finland banned for profit education, the few private schools that exist in Finland have to reinvest any profit they make or pay it back to parents. It has been in the Top 3 in education for the last 20 years. There should be no profit in education or healthcare.

Sky News can reveal Home Secretary Yvette Cooper went for free to a Taylor Swift concert as guest of Swift’s music label Universal Music. Ms Cooper went as a guest of her huband, Ed Balls who was given four tickets. That came after the home secretary had discussions about boosting protection for Ms Swift when she was in London after concerts were cancelled in Vienna because of a foiled attack Mr Balls was offered the tickets on August 4, before the Swift's shows in Vienna were cancelled for a show on August 16 This has not appeared in the public register to date because the tickets were understood to be worth Β£170 - less than the Β£300 that would make it a declarable expense. Earlier today the home secretary made the declaration to the cabinet office.

BREAKING: In a shocking statement, Donald Trump just said that he won’t tax the rich. Trump is making it abundantly clear that he plans on cutting taxes for the top 1% and forcing middle-class Americans to bear the costs. Retweet so all Americans see this.

This is one of the key and repellent things about Trump: he's a lifelong Nazi-style eugenicist. It's not an exaggeration to put it that wayβ€” he's brought up genes and "blood" for DECADES, from early in his career to his time on The Apprentice... He also thinks rich people deserve to be rich bc they're genetically pre-disposed to be successful, with "strong lines," like racehorses
JUST NOW: @realDonaldTrump leans heavily into race science by telling @hughhewitt that you can tell whether migrants are predisposed to committing murder by "their genes." "We got a lot of bad genes in our country right now," he adds.

Imagine the trauma of being trapped in refugee camps all your life. Imagine being attacked by settlers & Isr@eli army, beaten, shot, your home bulldozed, your land stolen. Imagine your hospitals, medical staff, children being targeted and slaughtered. Isr@el is a brutal dictator

There seems to be significant faux outrage from Tory leadership candidates Cleverly and Tugendhat about the Starmer government’s transfer of the Chagos islands to Mauritius. Official sources tell me the transfer would have happened in materially the same way at roughly the same time if Sunak had somehow won the election. The point is that the transfer was being negotiated on the recent Tory government’s watch - including by Cleverly as foreign secretary and then by Cameron - and the deadline was in effect set by Washington. I am told that President Biden wanted the deal done before the 5 November presidential election. Biden wanted certainty about the future of the US military base on the Chagossian island of Diego Garcia, just in case Donald Trump were to win the election. For confirmation that the deal was clinched on a timetable and in a style to suit the US administration, see Biden’s statement that β€œit is a clear demonstration that through diplomacy and partnership, countries can overcome longstanding historical challenges to reach peaceful and mutually beneficial outcomes”. Biden pointed out that the agreement between the UK and Mauritius meant the US had secured β€œthe effective operation of the joint [military] facility on Diego Garcia into the next century.” It is therefore curious Tugendhat should describe the transfer as β€œleaving our allies” exposed when the UK’s most important ally, America, has welcomed it. And Cleverly’s denigration of Starmer as β€œweak, weak, weak” for formalising it seems eccentric when the negotiations with Mauritius were in full swing when he was in the cabinet. As for Liz Truss’s assertion that Boris Johnson is to blame, I am told that Johnson was the last PM to wholly oppose giving up sovereignty over Chagos, and that the talks did not start properly till she was PM. If anyone in the Tory party wants to know the nitty gritty of all this, possibly they could ask for an introduction from the former minister Lord Frost - because his spouse Harriet Matthews has been the lead official negotiator for the foreign office on the Chagos treaty with Mauritius.

Johnson’s now admitted in his book and on #ITV that the Β£350m a week for the NHS figure was a lie. He was Foreign Sec at the time. He lied. He f*cked the country to win an argument. He should be prosecuted. #JohnsonIsALyingBastard
