We can predict who's joining #Reform just be seeing who Zia Yusuf attacks ... So far he has a 100% record of slagging off Tories who join within a short time ...

France announced today it’s phasing out Teams, Zoom, etc. to be replaced with a French/European solution called Visio. The data is hosted on Outscale. Transcripts and subtitles are also handled by French providers. The target is set on 2027 for government agencies.

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.
This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

Also, please note, that Mason says he has known Braverman for "more than 25 years". When they were both 19. Before she was on any political radar. Before he was even a trainee journalist.
They were at Cambridge at exactly the same time. Where Suella was president of the Conservative Association. 🤔

In his arrogance Musk thought he was untouchable but the authorities are closing in, as seen by the EU launching an investigation into Grok under the Digital Services Act today.
Meanwhile the Centre for Countering Digital Hate estimated Grok produced 23,000 CSAM images in just 11 days.

Fuck ICE, fuck Reform, and fuck anyone who actually wants this.
The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions.
It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

More top analysis from Mason. 'Let me tell you why this non-story is a big story.'
No mention of the huge risks to Reform and Farage. No assessment of the toxic content of Braverman's speech or the cynicism of the move. No acknowledgment that Reform hit a poll ceiling and bounced down. Just gossip.

Chris Madel ends GOP bid for governor, says he can’t support federal ‘retribution’ against Minnesota
His exit comes as some other Republicans have started to distance themselves from the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in the state.

Michael Manning is Reform UK’s candidate in the Zetland, Redcar and Cleveland by-election.
At this point we would normally point you to his Twitter account, but he deleted it just before his nomination was confirmed.
We gathered a good picture of his views, before he did.
