Keir Starmer’s conciliation of Donald Trump is bad politics and bad policy. It legitimises Trump’s far-right politics for which Trump stands and it won’t protect British (or Labour’s) interests. My latest column for @prospect_uk

New report finds that the gov is failing to meet its own legal requirements to protect the environment and the environment is declining at such a rate that it will soon be impossible. Gov's plan: Tear up the planning regs that protect the environment.

"Lighthearted" column to start the year - who has noticed that JK Rowling's "wizarding world" is actually an authoritarian dystopia? - Unelected government - Legalised discrimination against magical creatures - Secret police with a licence to kill!

Democracy doesn't just vanish. It's eroded away because those with power don't stand up for it. Trump wasn't found innocent re. insurrection. Prosecutors (who should be apolitical) caved because he's powerful. If the powerful are above the law then the law is meaningless.

The truth about Non Crime Hate Incidents: most of what you've heard is misinformation: They're a vital protection from racist violence. NCHI conspiracy theoriesare about conning people into voting for politicians with no real ideas. Me for @CityAM
