Me discussing how Trump is weaponising his Justice Dept to attack his enemies
"Justice is meant to be about "here's a crime, let's find out who did it and prosecute them", but instead Trump is saying "here's the person I want to prosecute, find me the crime".

The Trump Action Tracker has an update!
Main change is to break down the five authoritarian domains into ten - this allows for easier understanding of why actions have been logged and more tools for searching / filtering the now 1621 actions.

Draft Tory legislation on removing indefinite leave to remain is insane.
Would chuck out those not earning over £38K - including many pensioners!
+ social protections seems to include child benefit, so load of people with (British!) kids!
They'd remove my sis & mum who've been here 50 years.

We also carried out polling with @moreincommonuk.bsky.social .
The public strongly favours independence for our scientific bodies. 71% say it is more important for them to be independent of the Government than controlled by it, regardless of their political party affiliation. 9/11

It’s like living in a castle with holes in the walls, an open gate or weak foundations.
These don’t matter if no one attacks you, but once they do, you might wish you’d patched the defences while you had the chance.

This is a vulnerability map for 8 key bodies: ONS, OBR, Food Standards Agency, MHRA, Met Office, UKRI, Natural England, & UKHSA.
ONS has the most independence. All but ONS have ministerially appointed leadership. 3 could be abolished with no oversight as they have no statutory basis.

Just fuck off with this. How about start the conversation by highlighting how much immigrants contribute to the UK - not least by propping up the NHS and social care system!
Also - forced volunteering is not volunteering, it's unpaid labour.
