This is a President who skipped a World War One commemoration because it was raining talking to one who has stood in front of a fresh mass grave of his own people.

I’d like to think I’m the first person to get into a flame war with VPOTUS from the swimming pool of Woburn Center Parcs at half-term.
The VP is posting through it. (Good for @shashj.bsky.social for hitting a nerve.)

This one is for all of those who said there was no point in Labour trying to deepen EU ties with the red lines in place. Economically, there's a lot to gain from regulatory alignment.
Why? Because that gives companies the predictably to invest in the UK.

Closer ties with the EU could deliver growth of up to 2.2%.
Clawing back up to half of the damage caused by Brexit.
Delivering double the impact of a UK-US trade deal, according to the govt's own analysis.
And all within Starmer's red lines.

Please can someone get it through to Labour that THEY'RE THE GOVERNMENT. If they make people's lives better, voters won't care about immigration. If they don't make people's lives better, reducing immigration won't save them.
Seriously, this has to be one of the stupidest things I've heard from a Labour MP in this parliament - and possibly ever.

In 2018 Dems elected the largest class to Congress since Watergate, ~60 seats.
A lot of it was, yes, Trump backlash. But the winners also had another thing in common, despite a wide range of differences: most rejected corporate PAC money.

I think the Dems need to field gruff corruption busters at all levels whose primary campaign response to culture war issues is “All Americans should enjoy the freedom and bounty of this great country. That won’t be possible so long as venal men impoverish you and loot the country of your wealth”

Spot on. Comprehensive pedestrianisation should be far higher up the agenda in our cities than it is. Nearly wherever cars go, cities get worse. Nearly wherever they’re removed, those urban spaces flourish.
