Nothing refutes the SCOTUS majority's claim that "America is past racism" more thoroughly than a Southern state carefully acting to make sure no Black people can be represented in its legislature.

🔴 UK politics is bankrolled by the super rich. Andy Burnham promised to restore trust in politics - so why is he is ditching plans to cap mega donors? My latest on why the PM's timidity is bad retail politics *and* bad for British democracy democracyforsale.substack.com/p/burnham-is...
Burnham is failing his first big test as PM
The prime minister has the chance to end the power of the super-rich in British politics – he’s not taking it

Busy Cities ALWAYS attract more crime. As always, the 'Edinburgh' Evening News totally ignores exactly how you could raise more money, to fight crime. Scotland will raise £14,000,000,000 in VAT in 2026, all going to London. We need Scottish Independence. It's actually really simple.

As I board the ferry from Tallinn to Helsinki, I’m reminded yet again of three things about the EU: 1) You don’t sacrifice any of your national identity or culture by being part of the EU. Estonia remains Estonia. Finland remains Finland 2) Schengen is great. 3) Brexit was and is shit.
Farage now campaigns heavily on Channel crossings. Watling says the Brexit he spent years fighting for removed one of Britain’s returns mechanisms.
