Only a moron of irredeemable proportions would even think of suggesting that a jury verdict represents some deep state “two-tier justice”.

Providing safe routes to reach the UK is the only logical, evidence-based way to stop people travelling through irregular means.

Last night Ben Kentish challenged me on @lbc.co.uk on how that would work & whether A MILLION BILLION PEOPLE might come😱 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Al4R...

If you don’t want history to be re-written please share this video widely - because the only way to stop that happening is to constantly call this boll**** out with the actual facts
If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it

We cannot allow them to rewrite history.

Who needs pesky regulations? 😳
“Regulations, basically, should be default gone,” Musk said. “Not default there, default gone. And if it turns out that we missed the mark on a regulation, we can always add it back in.”

1. BREAKING

Several of Elon Musk’s associates installed at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) — including two recent high school graduates — have received unprecedented access to federal human resources databases containing sensitive personal information for millions of federal employees.

Anyone wondering why Trump has backed down on imposing 25% Tarriffs on China?
Musk needs to keep the Chinese government sweet, it’s a necessity for Tesla production and sales.

Worth a read 👀
President Trump campaigned on the promise that he would take a hard line on China, imposing massive tariffs on all Chinese goods entering the U.S.

Since taking office, however, Trump has quickly abandoned those policies, instead promising much more modest tariffs on China — or none at all.
How do you explain Trump's abrupt pivot on China? Elon Musk.

Since the referendum was an advisory poll, and not a binding vote, the UK courts had no power to intervene on the validity of the Brexit vote. Had the referendum been a binding vote, the courts could have annulled the result as compromised and unsafe. My report explored.
