Trump is not stopping crimes in Democratic cities, fighting mortgage fraud among Democratic officials, recovering state secrets from Republican officials he hates, or protecting the Jews in universities. All of these are absurd lies that Trump says to implement fascism over US.

America slides into fascism. Opposition politicians are shot dead in the open, or arrested without a warrant. Military parades watched by a hired crowd run through the capital. The judiciary is threatened, the executive bypasses the legislature. The republic is in mortal danger.

A youth mobility scheme should be a no brainer for Labour.
Our latest @yougov.co.uk polling revealed *every* constituency in GB supports a UK-EU youth mobility scheme. Just 18% of those polled would oppose it.
We already have youth mobility schemes with a dozen other countries. This is a popular, common sense growth lever for the Chancellor.

Try defending Trump’s tariffs and you just look an utter fool.
Every Cabinet member has different, contradictory talking points about supposed purpose of these tariffs.
Are they a negotiating tactic? Are they instead permanent, because we need them to raise revenue/boost US manufacturing?
Are they designed to return us to 1790s lifestyles & living standards?
