Comey case may be dismissed after DOJ admits the grand jury never saw the final indictment after the previous I document was rejected.
If the case gets dismissed it cannot be brought again because the statute of limitations ran out.

I disagree. It’s central to the country’s bad vibes that we cut state support for the working poor and have compensated for that, poorly, by shunting some of the costs onto businesses and the rest onto to telling the people who have lost out “life’s tough, adapt”.
Weird thing: the UK minimum wage has risen against inflation for years. It's now really high. Millions of people are earning more than they were as a direct result of this policy. And the impact on the vibes of the country is… entirely absent?

Have also read @sathnam.bsky.social’s Empire books which give good background. I had not realised organised large-scale slavery started so early. Knew a girl on jury at Bristol Colston statue trial - said Olusoga’s defence speech in support of 3 arrested made her cry. They were acquitted.
Me too. I read Empireland and Empireworld by @sathnam.bsky.social - also recommended - but seeing some of the places really helped my understanding of our colonial history. Using young people from immigrant backgrounds to relate their experiences was effective, too.

Today one Russian paper is crowing over reports of a US-Russia peace plan: “Nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine? That’s all in the past.” But the state of Russia’s economy is nothing to crow about: “Recession is almost inevitable.” Plus, one editorial, with two messages..? #ReadingRusia

While it is unlikely that the UK will be the first to receive an all-out attack from Russia, it appears to be a weak link. Russia's war on Ukraine has shown that the wars of the near future will be drone wars, and all of NATO needs to catch up+prepare. Meanwhile, Russia ups hybrid attacks+disinfo.

Some of the people in this article have shared their recollections with me before - but on condition of anonymity. Coming forward now is an act of patriotism. Farage’s claim that it never happened is the opposite.
