I'm prepared to bet good money that Jenrick will be next Tory leader..
And that's frankly excellent news for everyone who doesn't want to see the Conservative party anywhere near power.

The Liverpool attack wasn’t terrorism. But the far-right didn’t wait for facts – they had a script ready.
This piece by The Bear cuts through the noise to show how outrage is manufactured.

What the Liverpool incident tells us about the new culture war
Forty-seven people were injured. The facts were clear. But the far-right had already written the script

What, as a nation of English, have we become?
A country that sighs relief when the alleged perpetrator is described as white male but would have rioted had they been anything but white.

If anyone thought Bruce Springsteen would back down after Donald Trump’s threats, last night he doubled down: “In my country, they're taking sadistic pleasure in the pain they inflict on loyal American workers. They're rolling back historic civil rights legislation that led to a more just society”

With respect, I think those stating Trump is appeasing Putin are missing the point.
During Germany's agression Britain and France needed time to build their forces. Appeasement was the chosen vehicle. The US is stronger than Russia. Therefore, Trump is a coward (nah), or he sees self enrichment.
