We may well recognise the role of disillusionment, anxiety, anger and despair in building support for fascist movements of the past but for obvious reasons we do not now look kindly on the people who made that choice

The UK does not have a "migrant crisis" or a "small boat crisis". It has a racism crisis, and it has been deliberately created.

Scotland's First Minister should not be cosying up to a convicted criminal who's actively working to undermine democracy and human rights around the world.
It's time political leaders started standing up for our values, instead of trying to appease extremists like Donald Trump.

Most parents don’t enjoy reading to their children, survey suggests
Report from Nielsen and HarperCollins shows that parents see reading as a literacy skill, rather than something to encourage their children to love
Oh man I just find this deeply & utterly incomprehensible. Reading aloud to my children was a top-three life experience for me. I was gutted when they got old enough & no longer wanted it. I still miss it.
It is both intensely pleasurable & easily the best thing you can do for your kids.

Labour is upping the ante on anti-migrant politics just to learn that Farage & the Tories can always, always go further than them.
It’s real people who are caught in the crossfire of politicians trying to outdo each other on toughness.

I don't think people realize how certain a CDU/AFD coalition is if nothing changes. It's not certain which party will lead that coalition. I don't think people realize how catastrophic that will be.

Illustration: Merz mit vorgehaltener Pistole auf eine nicht im Bild sichtbare Person zielend. Er sagt: Das ist doch keine Erpressung. Entweder Sie tun, was ich sage oder ich drücke ab. Es ist Ihre Entscheidung. Textzeile: Das Demokratieverständnis des Herrn Merz
Merz ist vollständig im orwellschen Neusprech angekommen. Merz jetzt: "Wir werden mit der AfD nicht zusammenarbeiten. Vorher nicht, nachher nicht, niemals.“ Sagt einer, der letzte Woche wahnhaft mit Ansage und Anlauf mit der AfD die Republik erpressen wollte und dessen Partei 1:1 wie die AfD klingt.

Kolumne: Das Narrativ vom »gefährlichen Ausländer« gehört zum Markenkern der AfD. Sie hat es mit langem Atem strategisch in den Mainstream eingeschleust und die Union überlistet: mit gezielter Realitätsverzerrung.

Aber gut, dass Friedrich Merz sein Versprechen, nicht mit den Faschisten zusammenarbeiten, schon vor der Wahl gebrochen hat und nicht erst danach. Dann wissen die Wähler wenigstens, dass sie durch die Wahl der CDU auch die AfD bekommen könnten.

Kleiner Crashkurs in politischer Psychologie: Wenn etablierte Parteien AfD-Positionen kopieren, um Wähler "zurückzuholen", passiert genau das Gegenteil. Warum? Menschen bevorzugen bei ideologischen Positionen das Original. Die Sozialpsychologie nennt das den "Authentizitätseffekt": 🧵 1/5
