I have an idea that I've never heard put forth before:

Let's make a law, that no member of congress can vote on any issue in which a donor has an interest. You can take as much campaign lucre as you want, but every corporate donor disqualifies you from voting on issues that might affect that donor.

So most 🇬🇧 🎄 tv ads are actually more modest in their messaging this year (Finally! Better late than…)

Yet Tory Dyson is trying to hype hairdryers/stylers with an ad for a ‘seasonal‘ Colourway?

What; for folk with more money than sense & likely who already had one?
GTF outa here.
Nonsense. ✋🏻😒

The CURRENT sitting MP for Clacton earns £511,000 as a presenter for GB News and took £281,000 as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion.

So maybe sit this one out, you rancid herring.
A former Plaid Cymru Chief Executive is now being paid £190k a year as the BBC's Nations Director. This is living proof that the BBC is infected with left-wing bias right to the top-

I can't tell you how many interviews I've done where I've been asked: If Trump's policies are so problematic, why are U.S. stocks rising so rapidly.

A bit of international context illustrates the real issue here.

U.S. stocks have dramatically underperformed other advanced economies.

Everything on our news agenda is being driven by a corrupted disinformation machine, run by a billionaire who sponsors Tommy Robinson and who keeps trying to foment civil war in the UK.

And incredibly our MPs & news providers stay there.

THAT is the problem. Not some bad editing choice on the BBC.

The bit in this case that really bugs me is the quality of the immigration data (NB v.sorry for the families). If the State has no idea who is in the country what is all the emphasis on small boats when we can't get the basic numbers right. Travelled worldwide & l am sure exits are tracked elsewhere

But for today, why not write to a woman in public life - media, science, sport, academia, but esp. politics - and tell her you appreciate her work.

BREAKING: The First Circuit denies DOJ’s stay request in the SNAP case, refusing to stay the Nov. 6 enforcement order.

Justice Jackson’s 48-hour clock started just before midnight Sunday, meaning the administrative stay she issued Friday ends at the end of the day Tuesday.
But the district court did not order the government to use the Section 32 fund until November 6. It did so after it concluded that the government had failed to comply with its October 31 TRO. As a remedy for that noncompliance, the court ordered the government to make the full payment of November SNAP benefits by November 7. Thus, even if we were to stay the second TRO, the government could not obtain the relief that it seeks unless it also meets its burden under the stay factors as to the enforcement order. For the reasons that follow, we conclude that the government has failed to meet the stay factors as to the enforcement order, and we deny a stay of that order. In any event, the district court has now found that the government failed to comply with that October 31 TRO, from which no stay was sought and no appeal was taken that would have prevented the order from taking effect during the period of alleged noncompliance. Thus, for present purposes, the question that the government's motion to stay the enforcement order presents is this: Has the government made a strong showing that it is likely to succeed in establishing either (a) that the district court erred in finding noncompliance with the October 31 TRO or (b) that, insofar as it did not err in that regard, it could not order full funding in consequence of that noncompliance? As we have explained, the answer is no. In the single paragraph it devotes in its stay motion to addressing the enforcement order, the government does not make a strong showing of likely success in either respect. And in the only other passage of the stay motion that could be read to address the finding of noncompliance, the government fails to grapple with the actual basis for that finding.
