He's been promised a pardon and a 'generous life' for taking the fall, hasn't he?

CNN: 'The White House said Monday that Adm. Frank M. Mitch Bradley, commander of the US Special Operations Command, was responsible for ordering a second, targeted strike on an alleged drug vessel operating in the Caribbean…after the first strike did not kill everyone aboard.'

Next time someone asks what's the matter with Musk's Twitter, show them this:
An account in India, amplifying a billionaire from South Africa being cheered by an Irish passport holder (using an alias) to encourage civil unrest in the UK.

anyone else feel like there's been a whole lot of negative 'noise' that comes to nothing, around the government recently.
Like, there was something to gain from certain sections in undermining the government as they approach a major budget...🤔👀

So this is interesting from Robert Peston.
The claims of people inside No 10 briefing the press about the PM fighting for his leadership appear to be wrong.
As I speculated this morning, it appears to have been nothing more but a response to a question from a journalist!

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms.
He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

The BBC employ roughly twice as many people as the UK fishing industry. You'd think people would question Farage's patriotism and intentions wanting it shut down.

As Stephen says, this is an incredible line. The previous government cut National Insurance by 4p and had future spending plans that the independent forecaster basically called fictional!
They seem to have expected reality to be more respectful of their manifesto.

“Nobody thought a Labour government would have to raise taxes by more than £70bn,” claims one insider in this excellent piece. Shows the problem of the climate of fear in meetings created by some of Starmer’s aides, in that plenty of Labour insiders, did, in fact, think this!

Videos shared hundreds of times online claim that from 1 November the UK government will slow down the internet after midnight.
