Another massive contract.
Christopher Harborne, the largest shareholder in QinetiQ, has donated c.£22,700,000 to Reform UK. 92% of QinetiQ's income is from the MoD.
The UK government, in this way, subsidises Reform UK. I think I'm the only one who's reported this @bylinetimes.bsky.social

I'm not sure who was on the sub-committe. But I had heard that Lucy Powell may have been part of it, as deputy leader. But not seen that confirmed.
I guess we could hear more in due course, but I don't know if these things are usually made public.

Iranian officials say 30,000–36,500 protesters were killed in Iran on Jan 8–9, in what may be the deadliest protest crackdown ever. Reports claim Khamenei ordered forces to “shoot to kill” and show no mercy.

No guarantee whatsoever that Andy Burnham would have won the seat, if selected. And no guarantee Labour would hang on to the Mayoralty either. So what I've summarised would potentially be worse.

So it's supporting the continuation of those rules, rather than choosing to make an exception for Burnham.

It is also worth noting that this decision up-holds the rules the party had previously put inplace in regards to people like mayors and police and crime commissioners standing in by-elections, and also the rules that MPs should only hold the one elected position.

(It is reported the vote on the committee went 8-1 against letting Burnham stand. So a very strong level of unity shown on the decision.)

Now that is all over, let's all calm down, get behind whoever the local party in Gorton & Denton select and do all we can to get them elected, whilst also supporting Andy in his important job.

Guaranteed chaos or potential for a bit of criticism from politics nerds? I know which I would choose.

Filming federal agents in public is not a crime, nobody should be harassed or restrained for doing so, nobody should have their phone confiscated for it, and nobody should get the death penalty for it. This is supposed to be a free Republic, not an authoritarian police state.

Our initial analysis is up.
The video footage appears to show that the gun was taken away from the man before he was shot.
He was UNARMED before any of the shots were fired.

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

A moment-by-moment analysis of video from the scene shows that Mr. Pretti was already restrained when fatal shots were fired, which appears to contradict the federal government’s account of the event.

OTD in 1935 Hitler assured Poland he would not invade them. A few years later he said Germans were being oppressed & killed so he attacked, carried out genocide and spent the last years of his life in bunker detached from reality.
Imagine all that happening today.

Alex Pretti wasn’t a part of “engineered chaos.” He was a nurse who cared about people. An individual. What is “engineered chaos” is what this admin is doing in blue cities to justify invocation of the insurrection act.
