NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.
I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.
Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Republicans are shutting down the government because they don’t want to fix the health care crisis they created.
They’re holding the entire government hostage so they can raise health care premiums by 75% for 20 million Americans and throw millions off their health care.

Close run thing - but I think we'll look back at Starmer and say all that legal training just let him tell the lies more smoothly, but there were just as many lies as we got fed by Johnson.

Keir Starmer says he's known for 10 years that the left has got it wrong on immigration & wasn't listening to peoples concerns
Really? Because 5 years ago he said the left wasn't bold enough in talking up the benefits of migration.
He really is the most duplicitous politician in my lifetime

The central benefit of Labour Together's BritCard proposal was to make the UK's hostile environment for immigrants even more hostile. But it won't even do that.
It's simply a British government data collection exercise. And then what, when Reform Ltd gets it's hands on our data?

The EU-wide European Digital Identity framework will offer everyone the means to control who has access to their digital twin and to which data exactly. And it isn't mandatory.
Compare and contrast with Labour's BritCard big brother approach. We won't control our data, and it's mandatory.

Since privatization, shareholders of water, rail, bus, energy and mail have received £200bn in dividends.
Plus £bns more through intrgragroup transactions.
In public ownership this would have gone into infrastructure and lower bills, alleviated poverty.
Govts still don't curb profiteering.

If the government wants economic growth it must bring essential industries into public ownership
Successive governments clobber households and small businesses by hiking interest rates to manage inflation, but don’t inconvenience corporations.

My big problem with ALL of these stories isn't "a politician said one thing and did another".
My big problem is "we designed a system that lets anybody with a fat wallet walk into an accountant's office and immediately avoid huge tax, and nobody questions it unless they're a politician".

I'm now really confused. Keir Starmer just told Laura K he didn't create a trust.
We've been asking him about this for a month, directly referring to a trust.
No denial until today.

When Keir Starmer gave a field to his parents, he used a "life interest trust". This meant that, as its value grew from £20k to £300k, it was outside their inheritance tax estate.
How did this work? And was it tax avoidance?
