The White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Trump's numbers are tanking and he knows Mamdani's a winner and inviting him to the White House creates a positive association. Mamdani needs to make sure Trump won't send federal troops into NYC. As the Chinese would say, this meeting is a win-win.

"New cars registered in Northern Ireland will need an EU type approval, while cars sold in the rest of the UK will need a GB type approval. Some big manufacturers are only opting for the GB certification, meaning they won't be able to be registered as new cars in Northern Ireland."

The Home Secretary says "we have become the destination of choice in Europe, clearly visible to every people smuggler and would-be illegal migrant across the world"

That is a factually untrue claim: the Home Office shows that the UK is fifth, getting 1/10 claims, while Germany gets 1/5 claims

I've written a couple of things over the last days about how the government and much of Westminster remaining on X as the platform becomes increasingly toxic is having consequences for our politics...
Our politics is increasingly normalised to racism – because politicians are addicted to X
The platform has quietly dragged British politics into a dark place

Just to repeat, Katie Lam is advocating for ethnic cleansing and Robert Peston just nods it along
So Peston failed to ask

"No British government has ever revoked permanent status retrospectively. has it"

"Has ANY government done this since Idi Amin?"

"So you want to deport most nurses who aren't citizens, simply because they don't earn enough money. Do you think that is fair play?"

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

Just got back from watching "One Battle After Another" to find a feed full of videos of ICE raids in the US and Badenoch promising to introduce it here. Whatever horror you put on film can't beat reality.

When I was a teenager there was a bus direct from my hometown in Germany to London - we had a British army base, and this direct bus connection was one of the benefits of that. One summer I went on that bus to go volunteer in an old people's home in Southend-on-Sea. I had just turned 18 and was... 🧵
