Drawing: Possible causes of your problems. I've been appalled at the scenes we've witnessed over the last few days. It's utterly unacceptable that people should have to live in fear because of the colour of their skin.

1. Trump has been indicted.

Some will snidely dismiss this as a "bookkeeping" matter unworthy of the first criminal indictment of a former president.

This is wrong

Stormy Daniels matters

Qatar travelogue, part 1. Perhaps the most striking thing I’ve noticed is society’s concept of the individual. Human rights is founded on the idea that every individual has some innate worth. Qatar runs on the very opposite principle: the individual is worthless by default, until (through money, power or waving a World Cup lanyard) they can prove otherwise. For @newstatesman. https://www.newstatesman.com/comment/2022/11/qatar-world-cup-2022-moral-disaster-fifa
The Qatar World Cup is a moral disaster – is it braver to step away, or step inside?

Nothing that happens on the pitch can possibly salvage the horrors that brought this tournament about.

Norfolk churches are always impressive. Happisburgh’s is visible from miles around. Gooses would love to go up the tower one day and see the view from the top #NorfolkChurches #Happisburgh

“How much human blood was spilled, how much hydrocarbon combusted, how many expensive lobbyists hired, so I could enjoy the privilege of wearing a limp plastic lanyard and watching Canada vs Morocco?”

@jonathanliew on why #Qatar2022 is immoral and weird: https://www.newstatesman.com/comment/2022/10/qatar-world-cup-2022-immoral-weird

The Qatar World Cup is immoral and weird. How did we allow this to happen?

The whole enterprise is a kind of power move – a gigantic middle finger levelled in the general direction of the world.

“The reasons for #Braverman’s appointment have not changed, and Sunak doesn’t seem to have the political capital for a cabinet reshuffle.”

Freddie Hayward on why the government’s Braverman problem is here to stay: https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk-politics/2022/11/how-long-can-suella-braverman-hold-on-as-home-secretary

How long can Suella Braverman hold on as Home Secretary?

Braverman’s incompetence has been exposed once again, after she struggled to explain what legal routes lay open to migrants.
