The High Court has allowed Nadhim Zahawi's lawyer's appeal against the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal's finding of professional misconduct.

It’s very surprising, and concerning. Quick thread.

Why is Donald Trump changing his mind every five minutes and saying completely mad stuff an embarrassment for Keir Starmer? It feels like it should chiefly be seen as an embarrassment for the United States.

🚨🚨Check this out👇👇A French judge states that Trump sent people from the US Embassy to try to intimidate her during Le Pen’s trial for embezzlement. She says he’s done this to other judges around the world. What do you think he’s doing to judges in the US. This is madness‼️

If you were loud enough to tell us that Trump would be the best thing to happen to Britain since Magna Carta, then you don’t get to disappear with a “no comment” or a “but geopolitics” or a “no one could have possibly known.”

The Bear nails it.
I have a plan for this.

It basically includes pulling all these commentators into a studio with @mehdirhasan.bsky.social, @maitlis.bsky.social and/or @vicderbyshire.bsky.social and made to answer some pointed questions about where, exactly, that certainty came from.

Who else wants in?

There are people who could stop this if they wanted to stop this craziness. There are constitutional ways to address a president who is running amuck. Those who could get him out of office don't seem to choose that. This is what keeps me awake nights.
There is no calvary expected.

Whenever Deform complain about politicians doing Britain down remind them of the time Farage went to the US to ask for increased tariffs on the UK and somehow got away with it not destroying his career.

The Norwegian government is staying fairly quiet for now, but as a sign of the shifting vibe here the former head of Norway’s armed forces has come out and called the US a “neo-fascist banana republic” and a “hostile great power without norms”. www.dn.no/politikk/tid...
