Goodwin's decline from pretty mediocre academic to racist right wing incel isn't new or particularly original. It's also not the fault of women, migrants or anyone else. It is a tale as old as time, a sad, arrogant, loser trying to blame their deficiencies on everyone else. So perfect for Reform.

I would happily see Mr Fuentes sent to a prison for life.

Nick Fuentes: โ€œThe number one political enemy in America is women. โ€ฆ They have to be imprisoned.โ€

And just like that, Gilead was no longer dystopian fiction.

โ€œJust like Hitler imprisoned Gypsies, Jews, communists, you know, all of his political rivals, we have to do the same thing with womenโ€ฆ So they go to the gulag first. They go to the breeding gulags.โ€

This is a coordinated campaign by Reform and does not match the facts. London is one of the safest cities in the world. Echoing with their US friends who are likewise desperate to badmouth London.

I went to London the other day and I didnโ€™t feel safe in the city of my birth because there was a bunch of fascist thugs being cheered on and emboldened by people supported by useful รญdiots like Zahawi.

Agreed. Whatever the shortcomings we do not need more political drama. However, Labour and particularly the PM must not take this as a free pass to carry on as before. Otherwise we may just have to go through the drama.

Re the AI discourse today - if it really was on the verge of upending the fundamentals of the entire global economy I suspect markets would be behaving differently.

This is the inevitable result of hiring without filter the worst and most pathetic men in the country and then giving them guns, military cosplay, total impunity, and a monthly cruelty quota they can't hope to meet unless they snatch up everyone they see.

Iโ€™m not playing this stupid game with Reform or any of their multimillionaire groupies, vilifying immigrants and moaning about the benefits bill from their tax havens and Dubai penthouses. Then lying about what they said and why.

Reform is a racist party. Relying on racist votes for power. End of.
