NEW: A mass propaganda event is about to engulf the US news cycle and what, if anything, survives it will be a lesson for our times.
But it’s what the rest of the world does now that’s key. When someone tells you who they are, believe them.

Having both good planning and skilled operatives saves lives.
This is what you pay for and what the persistent bad press about rail crew salaries misses deliberately every time.

Whatever else comes out once the attack on the ECML train last night, this alone is a credit to the train crew, driver, and signalling team.
Huntingdon was the first possible stop. In a highly stressful situation and improvising a plan the train lost just 3 minutes vs line speed to get there.

Can we focus more on how victims of sexual violence continue to be failed today and less on the drama of the Royal Family? Then perhaps some good might come from this?

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country?
Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide.
It undermines police and the law.

He has a history of telling the party what it wants to hear. (He does the same with eg Trump; all a sign that he may be more ‘political’ (and/or less principled) than many believe).
I will be watching to see if this approach is repeated in other forums.
But it wouldn’t surprise me if it isn’t. 3/3
