Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.

His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

Love @maitlis.bsky.social on @newsagents.bsky.social not using the usual euphemisms used to describe a ReformUK packed to the gunwhales with discredited Tories & accurately calling it a dustbin

Weird fact fans. Brooklyn vs Victoria. Trump vs Starmer. The first two are 30 min drive from the birthplaces of the second two.

Sarah Pochin gave a reading at the launch of Reform UK’s Christian Fellowship. It’s believed to be the first time she’s spoken publically since she declared there were too many black people on TV. Ann Widdecombe & Tim Montgomerie also attended. Amazingly, n o one was struck by a bolt of lightning

Compound inflation - getting harder to find anything priced at less than £2 in the supermarket
A thought. In 2022-24 incumbents did terribly everywhere and the most common explanation was voters hating inflation.
Today inflation is much lower. And Merz, Starmer & Trump are all deeply unpopular.
He's done it! Merz is now less popular than Olaf Scholz at his lowest low.

Nobody could have predicted this, of course. www.n-tv.de/politik/Kanz...

Rather than indulging Chris Mason’s excitable juggling with real and imagined lies from all corners of the political circus, it’s a relief to read Faisal Islam for a plausible version of the truth.

The BBC should give him far, far more headroom for pieces like this:
