Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps.

The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years.

History is repeating. Pay attention.

Julie Gray, wife of Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev, who joined Musk in his visit to Auschwitz speaks out. She says that Musk felt nothing during the tour & only "cared about how he looked."

She shared this with me privately shortly after the tour, and I'm grateful she made her thoughts public.

Are you?
Via Politico: The Times reports that Iain Anderson — the boss of lobbying firm Cicero who quit the Tories to back Labour last year — has been made a non-executive director at the Department for Business and Trade.

Not a good look, to say the least.

RFK Jr’s long history of conspiracy theories, reckless disregard for public health, and racist, crazy ideology make him among the most dangerous of Trump's cabinet picks. He is unfit to lead our HHS.

I had polio when i was 9. I was taken from my parents & placed in a Hospital for contageous diseases- the polio ward. I would see them once a week - thru the glass window at the end of my ward. I could not walk. It was terrifying. Kids died. Iron lungs were awful. Dont let RFK Jr ban the vaccine

FBI is reportedly monitoring anyone who says 'bad' things about Donald Trump.

"Some 56% of farmland bought in 2023 was sold to landowners who were not working farmers.

The revenue per acre is too low to warrant the purchase, unless you are extremely wealthy and are avoiding inheritance tax."
Whose land? Tax avoidance and the broken economics of British farming
Noise in the billionaire press about inheritance tax changes hides a basic fact: the non-farming rich own too much land

“Obviously there will be no return to freedom of movement, the customs union or the single market” says Prime Minister Keir Starmer at #PMQs

In other news the OBR report the Gov’t keeps quoting from says Brexit is on course to cut UK trade by a staggering 15%. Hiding from it won’t make it go away

“The economic cost of Brexit, reliably estimated at around 5% of GDP and with a total loss to government coffers by 2035 of over £300bn, is unlikely to be offset by attempting to ‘make Brexit work’ – a slogan which rather confirms that it hasn’t”

Brexit – an unwelcome truth
Labour’s continued silence on Brexit might just reveal an unwelcome truth; another reason, perhaps, to use the Brexit telescope?

The shocking #IPPscandal is one of the most cruel & monumental injustices of the past half-century

THIS FRIDAY Lord Woodley’s Bill for the resentencing of IPP prisoners - which will end the scandal & which I’m supporting - gets its 2nd reading. Will government support it?
