Darren Jones saying repeatedly the Labour Government won't comment on a hypothetical.
It's not hypothetical - Trump is saying very loudly repeatedly what he's done and boasting about it.
And yet the UK Government won't even say it's a breach of international rules. Shameful.

BREAKING: Kennedy Niece Maria Shriver:
"It is beyond comprehension that this sitting president has sought to rename this great memorial dedicated to President Kennedy. It is beyond wild that he would think adding his name in front of President Kennedy’s name is acceptable. It is not."

Muting a Black woman to claim the vote was unanimous is so incredibly on the nose
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Last night marked Kuf Alef Kislev—the 81st anniversary of the Satmar Rebbe's escape from Nazi-occupied Europe. His rescue and founding of Williamsburg's Hasidic community shaped our city. Grateful to celebrate this history with the community and greet the rebbes.

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?
That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

It's not their fault. It’s Washington’s fault for allowing the middle class to be hollowed out just to make rich people richer.
