“If you were a slave and I were your master, and the only way for you to be free was to strike a blow to kill me, what would you do?”

Mamdani is stone-faced as the protesters call him a traitor and sellout.

Nobody cares how historic or spiritual your racism is. This isn't an argument. Can you believe this is the best that a barrister/judge could come up with?

We all know 40 minimum wage hours isn't enough to sustain a very good standard of life. It never has been. Which is why you're supposed to make it enough by working more or earning more. Add that horrible warehouse job to your weekends for 6-8 months. Hustle.

Economics. If the government taxed businesses less they could pay higher wages without having to increase the cost for the consumer. Supermarkets could pay staff £25ph if you like but your loaf of bread will be £7.50.

Solomon: New deadlock hero (gamefiles)

Abdul El-Sayed on Israel-Palestine: I understand on both sides of this debate, we're also dealing with a lot of trauma. A lot of trauma. I understand that for a lot of Jewish Americans, there's the trauma of the Holocaust and the need to have a refuge. I understand that. And I also understand that for a lot of Palestinian Americans and Palestinians everywhere, there's the trauma of the Nakba. We've got to be able to create the circumstances within which both of these deeply traumatized people can have a conversation built on principle. But to me, the answer has to be principle. It has to be.

Hasan Piker defended Abdul El-Sayed’s decision to campaign with former Vice President Kamala Harris, arguing the appearance could help the Michigan Senate nominee reach older Black voters. Harris is set to campaign with El-Sayed in Michigan on Tuesday. “Bringing Kamala Harris in to stump for him, specifically to boost his approvals with Black voters, is a good thing… We want Abdul to win… This is not about agreeing with Kamala Harris. It’s not about her positions,” said Piker. “The question always is: Do you want to win? And if you want to win, you have to do this. Okay? I don’t think it’s a bad idea at all. I think it’s a good idea.” The move has drawn pushback from pro-Palestinian critics who see campaigning alongside Harris as whitewashing her role as Vice President in an administration that continued supplying Israel with massive quantities of weapons to obliterate civilian life in Gaza for 15 months. By the administration’s final week, Gaza’s Health Ministry reported nearly 46,600 Palestinians had been recorded killed as Israel’s siege and the US-Israel led campaign against UNRWA drove Gaza into catastrophic hunger. UN-backed experts issued warnings of a “strong likelihood” famine thresholds had already been crossed in northern Gaza in 2024. The area was officially declared in famine later in August 2025. Harris eventually called for a ceasefire and greater humanitarian relief, but did nothing to break with the Biden administration's policy of unconditional military support for Israel, even as Israeli soldiers filmed and posted footage of their own atrocities in Gaza. The potential 2028 presidential contender has since said the administration should have put more pressure on Netanyahu, but has not repudiated its policy of arming Israel or publicly accused Israel of committing war crimes, despite ICC and ICJ cases.
