I wrote The Atlantic: this sham ahistorical inhumane ideology based on Marxist dialectic Soviet progaganda & medieval antisemitism that is taught in our unis, justifies killing civilians,doesnt describe the foundation of Israel or the tragedy of Palestinians & rules out 2states

Really interesting use of polling and helps explain why the government's strategy of banging on about immigration isn't helping them in the polls.

I am not the world's best negotiator*. But I have worked with some genuinely brilliant negotiators enough to have learned a few things.

The reaction to Michel Barnier's comments have been revealing.

It's not just in Britain where mainstream conservatism is being eclipsed by populism. Plus five of the most interesting pieces I read this week. My latest.

Here is Britain’s
new right - climate sceptical, immigration obsessed, anti human right, attacking elites. In US + Europe this has already become anti-LGBTQ and sympathetic to authoritarian states. When will conservatives finally say “not in my name”?!

If I was a Tory Chancellor, I wouldn’t abolish inheritance tax. I’d fix the ridiculous marginal rates that can exceed 70%

As I wrote in my i newspaper column today, 'there is a big lie at the heart of the Conservatives: a reluctance to accept the reality that Brexit is playing out badly, which is comparable to the Republican refusal to accept Trump lost the last election' inews.co.uk/opinion/rishi-…

The OBR doesn't approve Budgets. Chancellors can do whatever they can get the House of Commons to vote for and markets to accept - but it is right that we should get an independent assessment of the fiscal implications of their proposals. One of the key lessons from last year

So, what I love about Matt Forde is that - although he's Labour down to his bootstraps - he gives everyone a fair shake.

His humour has warmth. He absolutely believes politics is an engine for improvement and public good.

And *that's* the way the b*stard gets you to open up.

NEW: probably the most important Covid chart I’ve made

As Delta goes global, it’s a tale of two pandemics, as the heavily-vaccinated Western world talks of reopening while deaths across Africa and Asia soar to record highs

People posting watermelon emojis on black footballers' social network accounts: banned.

Journos who write of the 'watermelon smiles' of Africans and 'flag-waving piccaninies': promoted to Prime Minister.

I’m going to keep on tweeting this appalling campaign material. et al must be held to account for their pitiful leadership, their stoking of division & blatant populism.

Commentary on 👇🏽
“I am not a racist but can you not protest in that way ... yes I know it’s how you want to but I don’t want you to … I prefer er er …. let me think about it”
For some there is never and never will be a right way to raise the issue of racism 🤷🏽‍♀️

The vote on 0.7% tomorrow is a hugely important one.

Little time to analyse the detail, but it seems in the last 20 yrs we would only have met the HMT’s conditions ONCE.

So a vote for the motion means no 0.7% for the foreseeable future. A vote against means a return next year.

You don’t get to stoke the fire at the beginning of the tournament by labelling our anti-racism message as ‘Gesture Politics’ & then pretend to be disgusted when the very thing we’re campaigning against, happens.
