Something that Trump’s hapless crew seem completely unable to understand.
We still need to get from a situation where Russia pretends to negotiate to a situation where they need to negotiate.

Ending the Conservative two-child limit will lift thousands of children in Middlesbrough & Thornaby East and across the Tees Valley out of hardship, and I welcome it as the most immediate, cost-effective step to cut child poverty.

A very moving and courageous interview. Vivid is the key word. Even though it was over 40 years the hurt is still there to see.
Farage has the brass neck to say his words weren't hurtful, the twat.
"My most vivid memories of my school life is Farage repeatedly coming up to me, knowing that I was Jewish, saying 'Hitler was right' and 'gas em' and that was frequently followed by imitating the sound of escaping gas."

There have been 62 murders in DC in the past six months, including two dozen since Trump seized control of the city's policing. I found the names of 21 of the victims, killed since Trump's takeover, he ignores when he tells this lie: www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

How is this not the top story on every news bulletin?
This has been happening for years and instead of doing anything to protect children successive governments have made the situation worse. This isn't just on councils. It is part of failings on a State level.

I share @alfdubs.bsky.social concerns.

The government's asylum proposals won't stop those legitimately seeking asylum taking dangerous journeys to the UK.

But they do risk creating new hostility and tension in our communities.

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

Yesterday, Trump defended the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office.

He said he had “nothing” to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

But I reviewed a call while serving on Trump’s NSC that I believe would be of interest to the Khashoggi family and the American people.

Release the transcript.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.
