She's so right. The UK (particularly in England) is looking more like early 1930s Germany by the day. The decent people of the UK need leaders like Mhairi Black and, even more importantly, we need a new MOVEMENT to offer a clear, positive, inclusive alternative to the hatemongers

In this BBC interview my warning to KeIr Starmer is if he does not uphold his promise to allow local Party members to select their Parliamentary candidates, he is in danger of opening himself up to charges from the Tories on trust, honesty & integrity.

If Republicans and Democrats usually can't agree on anything, there's a big exception: China.

How did everyone in DC become China hawks? Does that make the slow march toward a new Cold War inevitable?

Normally they don’t put heavyweights in the ring with lightweights.

And yet here we have Lord Heseltine refusing to allow banal slogans and tropes to pass as a substitute for sensible conjecture.

Refreshing to see.

I was born here…

My Italian parents moved here in their 20s

I’ve only ever had an Italian passport

But, since Brexit I’ve been stopped at the border twice

Told I need a British passport

I’m trying…

But they want payslips from my dad from over 40+ years ago

Wish me luck.
