I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

I need you to take a moment and realize that when Americans are dying because the party of healthcare chose to stop fighting for healthcare, I’m blaming you. We need you to hold the line. And before you say it’s not that simple, I promise you it is. The old way is dead. I need you to have a spine

Ro Khana is right. Chuck Schumer is not an effective leader, and he must go!

“Either through complicity or incompetence, Chuck Schumer once again proved he cannot provide the type of leadership that young Americans demand. It is clear he must step down as caucus leader.”

If Labour are willing to bin their manifesto pledges on tax rises, why not on Brexit?
That would win them far, far more votes than raising taxes ever will. Indeed, tax rises are likely to crater their weak support even further.
What's so magical about Brexit that it must remain untouchable?

I used to say this trial was a waste of taxpayer dollars, but I think it’s totally worth it.
Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.
The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
"I could smell the onions and mustard."

The revelations in the memoir of Epstein whistleblower Virginia Giuffre, published tomorrow, show that every time ‘Prince’ is used in connection with ‘Andrew’ it is a monument to how the powerful can abuse those without power. The title needs to go. But that’s only part of it. 🧵

Good morning and happy Tuesday to everyone. Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir drops today and contains the truth she wanted the world to hear about Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, who groomed her to become a sex slave for Epstein and his wealthy friends. Buy it. Read it. Give her justice.

The Epstein files contain the name of a prominent former PM who brutally beat & sexually assaulted an 18 year old.
Trump, Bondi, Patel & Johnson don’t want the world to know his name.
That’s why Johnson will have the House adjourned today for the 78th day out of the last 90.
