A writer not a fighter… except in good causes. Sadly, despite noble resistance, the Observer (a very good cause) has now been thrown to the dogs of the marketplace by the Guardian, who proved to be, “an unreliable ally”.

Crockett: When you go and you hit those booths come the midterms, think about which party decided that it was okay to literally be on vacation while people were going hungry in the streets of America.

Given Leo is God’s representative on earth, that clearly is heresy. And God-fearing Americans everywhere surely should condemn it.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

That is quite something. We could do the same in the UK, but with wind. We get an awful lot of it!

Still by some way the most powerful and articulate polemicist in American, and world, politics. They need him now more than ever before.

Huge difference between people polled randomly when aggrieved and those who go to the polls to say the same thing where it counts. This has been proven time and again. My strong suspicion/hope is Reform will struggle to get the vote out in 2028.

Idiocy aside, Dershowitz is one of the great imposters. Had dealings with him years ago. A rude and ignorant man. Not unlike Trump and the other gangsters.

“Old fashioned racism” is exactly what? Worse or better than new racism?

Will check this out. Presume there is mention of Angela Buxton, who won the doubles with Althea but never got an MBE (the first Jewish player to win a Wimbledon title) - and reached the singles final as well that year, 1956.
To this day, Angela has been ignored.

An excellent piece on the rich grifter who laughs at his supporters. I’d suggest Farage is already a busted flush. Reform’s high command can’t hide forever who they really are: cynical chancers who gamble with other people’s money.

I expect Reform’s poll rating to steadily decline as they continue to grift, lie and generally prove to be a far-right rabble. They’re already coming to bits in the councils they run.

Two points: the penalty can hardly be, “unlimited”; and why is nobody questioning the Mail’s Harriet Line about, “the tip off” she got? Who dobbed Reeves in? Seems unlikely it was the estate agent. Line hugely unconvincing on the Today programme this morning.

It has indeed. Sadly there is probably much more to come.

These people - Becky Morton, Political reporter, Jack Fenwick, Political correspondent and Harry Farley, Political correspondent - cannot hide behind a shared by-line for their complicity in a clumsy smear on Reeves. The BBC should be better than this.
