Please be careful in London. I have spent 25 years there, but I have never heard a story as frightening as this one from today in which nothing at all happened.

So, Rodri may face disciplinary consequences after all: www.msn.com/en-gb/news/n...
Meanwhile, he was still able to play key matches against Liverpool and the second leg of the cup against Newcastle (and the Fulham game)...
Somehow, justice feels slower when City is involved, doesn't it?

The SAVE act also forces states to submit their voter registration lists to the DHS! I know we’ve been focused on voter ID but that’s only the tip of the iceberg !

The Eye is devastated to report that Page 94 didn’t pick up any gongs at last week’s Political Podcast awards. But perhaps that was something to do with a certain member of the judging panel...

The so-called Save America Act will force 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates just to register to vote. Most do not have them ready. Turning paperwork into a barrier is a poll tax by another name. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/L9X3k1fQ

They not only failed to get an indictment, they failed to get a single grand juror’s vote. It’s probable that this has never happened before.

Likely because the DOJ has never sent hack political appointees to attempt to get indictments on sitting Congress members over protected speech before.

Trump: "So I put on a 30% tariff, which is very low. I got an emergency call from I believe the prime minister of Switzerland. She was very aggressive ... I didn't really like the way she talked to us, so instead of giving her a reduction, I raised it to 39%."

Rachel Maddow: “The Trump economy is not going great. Whatever the opposite is of great, that's how it's going — in just the first month of this year, 2026, the total number of layoffs in this country was more than 108,000 — that's more layoffs in any January since 2009, since the Great Recession”

Paul Dacre says claims Mail broke law to target Doreen Lawrence ‘bitterly wounding’
Ex-editor of Daily Mail tells high court he is appalled by allegations about its journalists by Stephen Lawrence’s mother and others Paul Dacre, the long-time editor of the Daily Mail, has said it was “bitterly wounding” to face allegations that his journalists used criminal tactics to target the mother of a murdered teenager whose case he had championed. Giving evidence in the high court, Dacre, who edited the paper from 1992 to 2018, said the “grave and sometimes preposterous” claims from Doreen Lawrence and six other claimants had “astonished, appalled and – in the small hours of the night – reduced me to rage”.

Peter Mandelson's official role in Gordon Brown's government was actually not that far away from his unauthorised dealings with Jeffrey Epstein. This week's column digs up some inconvenient truths and suggests the problem is much deeper than we're told.

There is a lot of convenient amnesia about Peter Mandelson’s New Labour days. Let’s jog some memories | George Monbiot
Yes, he betrayed the national interest in his dealings with Jeffrey Epstein – but also in his sanctioned role as enabler of corporate power, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Robert Jenrick is lying.

Reform UK have spent, to date, almost £1.5 MILLION with Harding Print Solutions.

They are NOT a local Manchester printer.

They are Reform's go-to print company and have been for a long time.

Home Affairs questions today: the government believes that "the permanence of refugee status in this country is clearly a pull factor, and we are therefore making it temporary".

(The government's reform proposal is to eventually grant settlement after a long period of triennial reviews)

Megyn Kelly just shouting “FOOTBALL IS OURS” at Piers Morgan about Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl show is the perfect example of this moment in time. Put it in a time capsule and send it out into space.
