I’m old enough to remember when many of the voices saying very little tonight told us very loudly that Obama and Biden were anti-British.

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.
They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

Remember: what Trump and his administration are doing is only possible because Congress and the Supreme Court have abdicated their proper constitutional functions of check and balance.

Our Solar System is orbiting the center of our Galaxy at about 220 km/s so in 2025 we collectively traveled something like 7 billion kilometers across the Milky Way. Once in a while, when you have a moment, it’s worthwhile to take a look around, see where you are, and appreciate how far you’ve come.

The murder of CBS News by Trump operative Bari Weiss means it even more important for the BBC to contest Trump's specious "defamation" lawsuit in Florida. American journalism has collapsed. The rest of us need to double down.

Just pointing out that the UK has the highest pension and minimum wage we ever had. Also the highest level of regulatory protection.
Because it is rarely mentioned when everyone talks about how terrible everything is.

Keir Starmer needs to stand up for the BBC against Trump's outrageous $5bn lawsuit and protect licence fee payers from being hit in the pocket.
Trump wants to interfere in our democracy and undermine our national broadcaster. We cannot let him.

Creasy was presumably setting the pitch here for pro European lab MPs to not support the Lib dems’ customs union bill today.

It’s really simple…
- Cap all political donations
- Ban foreign donations
- Strict conflict‑of‑interest & anti‑corruption laws with penalties
- No titles, honours or peerages for donors
- No govt contracts for donors
- Publish every donation/lobby meeting
…that’ll do it.

When the six Democrats said military officers ”can refuse illegal orders”, they were correct—indeed they went no further than that the Department of Defense’s own guidance, writes @davidallengreen.bsky.social.
When is an order an ‘unlawful command’?
And why has Trump reacted so furiously to six members of Congress correctly stating the law?
