The Chinese must be bricking it knowing they're up against a man who paid $420,000 to Michael Cohen to pay Stormy Daniels $130,000 so that no one ever found out he had sex with Stormy Daniels, sex described in detail both in her autobiography and a hush money court case where he was found guilty.

A great example of the British Right finally catching up. Their primary objective of 'owning the libs' has hit brutal reality.

Trump has pulled the security of former government officials we know are under threat simply because he doesn't like them. And he's done it at the same time as released a load of very angry, very violent, likely highly armed individuals who are loyal to him.
It is dark stuff.

A reminder that Sadiq Khan successfully won three elections in a row by large majorities against Conservative opponents, one of whom, Shaun Bailey, was then given a seat in the House of Lords for life.
Funnily enough I don't remember the Daily Mail describing that as a "reward for failure"

Nigel Farage says there's nothing wrong with Elon Musk donating to Reform UK.
Here's what he said about European born, US-based billionaire George Soros donating to UK and European human rights and pro-EU groups.
"This is an organised attempt... to undermine nation states, to undermine democracy".

Elon Musk and a mass petition want a new UK election. Shall we do that – or just stick to democracy? | Marina Hyde

A word on the Allison Pearson free speech row, and what she describes as a ‘Kafkaesque’ threat to it. We asked her on @thenewsagents.bsky.social to discuss.
She said: ‘No. And if you get any aspect of the story wrong my lawyers will be watching.’
