This is great news. Our police services should never have been politicised. PCC’s have been a costly waste, diverting resources from front line policing & leaving police chiefs constantly looking over their shoulders. Devon & Cornwall’s PCC has been a national exemplar of uselessness.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

Has anyone collated a list of 'that should have been the end' moments in Trump's career? There must be a techie, details person out there who'd love that task. We can all keep adding to it until the US equivalent of Mme. Guillotine is invoked. Interesting to see what comes out of the woodwork.

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.
A new generation that renews the “we” in “we the people.”
Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.
