  1. How the Political Right Plans to Square the Circle at Charing Cross Hospital (Spoiler: They Don’t) by Lawson Akhigbe

    Charing Cross Hospital sits in that peculiar West London sweet spot where the average house price has long since waved goodbye to the million-pound mark and is now busy collecting gold medals in the “how high can we go” Olympics. The surrounding streets are a parade of desirable postcodes, glossy estate agent boards, and the quiet confidence of people who regard a £1.2 million two-bed as a “starter home” if you squint hard enough and ignore the service charge.

  6. How to Pay Less Tax Than Your Barista: A Billionaire’s Guide by Lawson Akhigbe

    If you open your paycheck, you will notice a rather tragic recurring character named "Tax Deductions." Before you even get a chance to squander your earnings on overpriced oat milk or electricity, the government takes its slice right off the top. Forty percent, thirty percent, twenty percent, whatever bracket you land in, the tax collector behaves like an eager bouncer checking bags at the door. You earned a salary, so you pay up. Non-negotiable.

  11. a little concerned to see news from Spain that the Supreme Court has suspended voting rights of citizens (like me and my children) who obtained citizenship through their spanish born parents and grandparents.

    It is extremely unusual for a citizen not to have the right to vote in general. It goes against Spain's constitution.

    Of course this question to the Court was put forward by Vox, the far right conservative party.

    it will have to be resolved before the elections. It would be unprecedented in Europe in post war, post Franco, times for a class of citizens to be excluded from voting.

    Either they restore the right by clarifying the law, or they strip us of our citizenship completely.

    I just can't imagine there would be wide domestic political support for disenfranchising millions of people who have clearly declared their intention and desire to be reconnected with Spain.

    our family has built a lot of future plans around our spanish and EU citizenship. A change like this would be deeply disappointing.

  16. Austerity: Britain’s Longest-Running Political Fancy Dress by Lawson Akhigbe

    There is an old British habit that refuses to die. When the public finances look awkward, someone reaches for the national costume box, pulls out the Union Jack, and declares that the only patriotic course is to ask the people with the least to tighten their belts a little more. The word of the hour is always “austerity.” The justification is always necessity. The result is almost always the same.

  27. Rights matter most the moment someone realizes:

    this applies to me.

    Not just in courtrooms or politics.
    In school, at work, online, in everyday life.

    This final episode is about that shift — when rights stop feeling abstract and start becoming personal, usable, and real.

    Because the Charter matters most when we know it is ours.

  28. Judge blocks additional citizenship provisions in latest setback to Trump’s election executive order – The Seattle Times

    Judge blocks additional citizenship provisions in latest setback to Trump’s election executive order

    Jan. 30, 2026 at 4:59 pm

    By TOM VERDIN, The Associated Press

    SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A federal judge on Friday blocked certain federal agencies from requesting citizenship status when distributing voter registration forms, the latest blow to a wide-ranging executive order on elections President Donald Trump signed last year.

    U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly in Washington ruled that the Constitution’s separation of powers, giving states and to an extent Congress authority over setting election rules, are at the heart of the case.

    “Put simply, our Constitution does not allow the President to impose unilateral changes to federal election procedures,” wrote the judge, an appointee of former President Bill Clinton.

    Specifically, Kollar-Kotelly permanently blocked two provisions of the executive order that sought to impose proof-of-citizenship rules.

    Her decision said agencies will not be allowed to “assess citizenship” before providing a federal voter registration form to people enrolling in public assistance programs. It also said the Secretary of Defense cannot require documentary proof of citizenship when military personnel register to vote or request ballots.

    “Our democracy works best when all Americans can participate, including members of our military and their families living overseas. Today’s ruling removes a very real threat to the freedom to vote for overseas military families and upholds the separation of powers,” said Danielle Lang, a voting rights expert with the Campaign Legal Center, which is representing plaintiffs in the case.

    The White House said Trump’s executive order was intended to ensure “election security” and said Friday’s ruling would not be the last word.

  30. This sounds dystopian - tens of millions will be excluded, and will have to run from pillar to post.

    With Special Intensive Revisions of the electoral rolls, and now with this digital census, citizenship of India and other rights have become alms thrown to the Indian people by the government. And these are alms that can be taken away for various reasons, these are alms one has to keep begging for periodically.

    Government Says Census 2027 Will Be Conducted 'Digitally'

    Junior home minister Nityanand Rai said that the government has planned "to collect data through Mobile Apps."

  31. #Voter #disenfranchisement , a top priority of #Project2025, would be done by requiring either a birth cert or passport in your current name, meaning up to 70 million married women and low income people are the targets.

    This affects *everyone* whose name has changed.

    * immigrants who tried to assimilate
    * married women
    * transfolk
    * adoptees

    If you currently use a name other than the one your parents gave you, it affects you.

    In WA state, mail-in voting would be destroyed by this law. #washington #Seattle #KingCounty

  32. Citizen of the Republic of Venice

    What did it mean to be a citizen of the Republic of Venice?

    The answer to that question very much depended on what lot you drew in the great lottery of birth.

    The conditions of birth were all-important for what a person could be and do in life.
