He confronts Bondi:

I have no problem w security guarantees for Russia: once it has retreated inside its internationally recognised borders, Ukraine & the West should promise not to attack RU territory. But Grushko is asking for guarantees of continued Ukrainian insecurity, not Russia’s security. That’s unacceptable.

Yes indeed. And thinking really hard about what they would do as a future PM means understanding the country and the world, the constraints of what the state can do, then setting a positive direction and a narrative from which actions can follow. Simple...?
Without a clearer sense of direction, Labour's doomed. So, by far the best thing that these two could do now would be to stop worrying about how best to become PM if and when Starmer eventually goes and instead think really, really hard about what they would do were they chosen to replace him.

If a staffer had posted that video without authorization, Trump could’ve deleted it immediately. Karoline Leavitt wouldn’t have defended it for half-a-day. The admin. would’ve apologized.

This bribe by Binance — fueling Trump’s scam crypto in exchange for a pardon — should send Trump to prison.

Here's the founder of Blue Labour, Maurice Glasman, spouting far-right bile about the European Convention on Human Rights. His arrogance, populism and intellectual laziness echo Farage, Bannon, Musk, Thiel and Reform. The "she" he's referring to is Mahmood, who's also Blue Labour.

When Republicans refer to "criminal illegal aliens," they mean everyone who is here on an asylum claim is a criminal. Latino voters who flipped to Trump in 2024 didn't quite get that. They do now. Also, many of the “criminal records” are for things like driving with no license & other misdemeanors.
