A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.
This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.
All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

British decline in one story.
Any state which finds itself incapable of managing a project as basic as rolling out a 20th century tech between its biggest cities needs to ask itself some profound questions about what hope it has of managing the technologies of the 21st.

the white house thinks brute force is, no pun intended, a trump card. they don’t anticipate pushback and they don’t know how to handle it with anything other than escalation. the issue is that each escalation is itself a gamble. if protesters refuse to back down, you’ve lost face. (1/?)

Worth stating simply what’s happening. An American government is launching a full-scope political & economic assault on an ally repelling an ongoing invasion to compel them to terminate martial law, topple their president, hand over minerals to America & accept a ceasefire w/out security guarantees.

Bets on when Braverman is going to propose deporting herself?
Suella Braverman has written this: "For Englishness to mean something substantial, it must be rooted in ancestry, heritage, and, yes, ethnicity."
As someone who, like Suella herself, has very little "English" ethnicity in their DNA, I would like to say that Suella can, to put it bluntly, fuck off.

This one is for all of those who said there was no point in Labour trying to deepen EU ties with the red lines in place. Economically, there's a lot to gain from regulatory alignment.
Why? Because that gives companies the predictably to invest in the UK.

Closer ties with the EU could deliver growth of up to 2.2%.
Clawing back up to half of the damage caused by Brexit.
Delivering double the impact of a UK-US trade deal, according to the govt's own analysis.
And all within Starmer's red lines.
