Religious people don't hold the monopoly on moral and philosophical insights. Far from it. It's high time the BBC recognised this.

Brilliant
A reminder that it wasn't an abundance of rationalism that caused the Nazi genocide but an abhorance of it.
I completed my first day challenge of 26. I'm going to get into the habit of meditation. Hopefully. 10 minutes a day of thinking about nothing.
And our local party could do with the donations. (We're not funded by oligarchs, developers or shady foreign interest groups)

Today I had the privilege of attending the unveiling of new artworks by local secondary school students. These fantastic pictures transform a Hertford subway into a gallery. Thanks to Herts County Council for leading the initiative. #Hertford #PublicArt #Herts #MayorofHertford #Hertfordshire #HCC

Labour in this current blue labour hard right incarnation are just appalling. It's not just that they are legitimising far-right arguments: it seems they are fully onboard with them.
This is fantastic news. Well done to everyone involved for not giving up on Ward Freman Pool.
🚨BOOM!! The Petition calling for a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy has now rocketed past 50,000 signatures! Let’s get it to 100,000. If a petition is what it’s going to take let’s get this done!

Meanwhile, on X - Grok is denying the Holocaust... and all our institutions and politicians and media giants just stay there like that's perfectly OK.
What does it take to get people to leave that horror show??? Seriously.
Great read as always.

1. Placing these two graphs side by side shows why we have a prisons crisis. They can also be seen as a kind of Authoritarianism Index, showing the trend in state attitudes.

On the right is the UK prison population.

Wow! Are Labour trying to get their polling down to single figures?
Great investigation of the Nazis, racists and criminals mobilising the flag-on-lamp-posts movement. This is the kind of journalism that the national media could and should have conducted:

Inverness's Liberal Democrat MP Angus MacDonald could usefully remind himself that he is talking about human beings here
A majority of voters, and a plurality of white voters, think that Reform is a racist party with racist policies.
anyone who thinks the way to head off the tide of fascism is by limiting the range of political choices to either fascists or pro business neoliberal technocrats is dooming us to fascism. David Graeber.
One of the most important political messages on the internet.
We're going to use military force to ethnically cleanse a nation of at least 10% of it's population: sensible politics of the everyman
We're going to tax rich people more so everyone except rich people aren't totally fucked the whole time: fantasy politics of the metropolitan elite
Such a relief that Russia lost in Caerphilly.
Why is the Reform Party's Russian links not a major news story?
I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.
Another extraordinarily stupid & gratuitously nasty policy from Labour, sold under the entirely false pretence that it will promote "integration". Who do they think they're kidding with this nonsense?

Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference.
Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say?

Just when you thought Keir Starmer's Labour Party couldn't get more illiberal, or more like the Tories...
"Change", my left foot.
www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
Keir Starmer says he’s “taking on Reform” in today’s speech.
But when Labour echoes Reform’s policies on migration, that’s not taking them on — it’s following them.
#LabourConference #StarmerSpeech
Dehumanisation as policy.
It ignores people's actual lives and experiences in favour of some sick idea that migrants are just resources to be used and discarded at will.
It is incredible how Labour has become, in practice, the most anti-immigration government in decades.

This might be the most concentrated centrist campaign in history. "Farage is racist" out of one side of his mouth while saying "Farage is right" out of the other. A worm ideology for worm people.
