Unfortunate realities:
1. Climate change impacts are here, and getting worse
2. Brexit is damaging and will continue to be so
3. Our population is aging
4. Our fertility rate is dropping
5. The US President is authoritarian, quite mad, and rapidly deteriorating

It seems there are still limits. Even for President Miller.
Reporter: Will Stephen Miller be apologizing to the family of Alex Pretti for calling him an assassin?
Leavitt: This incident remains under investigation.

It's only a matter of time until Mason's big reveal of his own...
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.

Trump backing down to public pressure is a good thing. But let's be clear. Noem, Miller, Bovino, etc. all followed his lead. He called protesters terrorists. He dehumanized Somali immigrants. He lied about Good and Pretti. He owns all of it.
He'll also probably change his mind tomorrow.

ABC: Noem said Pretti committed an act of domestic terrorism. Stephen Miller labeled him a domestic terrorist. Does the president agree?

The aspect that I don’t see nearly enough mentioned is that *even if ai will accomplish everything what the evangelists say*, producing everything with humans just checking the output, we’re still going to be fucked 10 years down the line, when there are no new people able to do this.

Pochin: 'HELP, I feel very uncomfortable by the new brown face in the room!'
Braverman: 'It's OK, I know I can never be English.'
Lee Anderson: 'Aye, we all know Suella is a foreigner.'
Farage: 'Indeed. Rest assured we'll deport her when we win.'
All cheer.

This right here is why he needs to go. Labour cannot lead a moral fight against Reform's racism or the broader right's desire to cut public services if it keeps saying the cost of living trumps all other considerations
"We must never lose sight of that whatever is happening internationally... across the country on other issues... the single thing that matters most is cost of living.
"There is a fight. But that fight is with Reform and we all need to line up together to be in that fight, all playing our part.
