Letter from Ed Davey to Keir Starmer condemning Elon Musk for inciting violence and urging unity to defend democracy.

Letter from Ed Davey to Keir Starmer condemning Elon Musk for inciting violence and urging unity to defend democracy.

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.

As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

The Martyrdom of Saint Lucy The right is desperately seeking to make a martyr out of Lucy Connolly in order to distract from the real victims of the hate she helped to spread, argues Otto English

Lucy Connolly was convicted of inciting racial hatred, and her tweet was part of the tinder that lit violence, intimidation, looting, and thuggery across England last year.

The fact Reform conference gave her a standing ovation says everything about that movement.

Angela Rayner accidentally pays less tax than she should have, resigns, and the media gives her hell.

Nigel Farage deliberately pays less tax than he should have, and the media gives him a free pass.

That, right there, is the problem.

Rayner is absolute class. She's been a bit silly in organising her taxes, but that's not why they hate her. They hate her because she did not know her place.

And across all domains as well - I'm hoping they take August off from pursuing their authoritarian project.

The Institute of Economic Affairs can see the public has turned against Brexit so much that they're re-writing history to avoid the blame!

Donate to Ukraineโ€™s defenders The National Bank of Ukraine has decided to open a special fundraising account to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Trump Dragged After Being โ€˜Fully Humiliated On The World Stageโ€™ Donald Trump was โ€œhumiliated and exposed in a way that no previous president ever could be," said MSNBCโ€™s Lawrence Oโ€™Donnell.

Macron made Trump โ€œthe first president in history who had to be interrupted and corrected by an ally when the president of the United States was lying and lying about that allyโ€

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

With really weird things happening to journalism, I see people turning to substacks or other newsletters (often paid). But I can't find anyone talking about how libraries can provide access to (or preserve) these resources. Anyone having these discussions?
