If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

No effort must be spared to bring them home:https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-administration-halts-program-track-abducted-ukrainian-children-lawmakers-2025-03-18/

Starmer says the rise of populism stems from ‘real concerns’.
That’s partially true.
But really it feeds off politicians and media lying to people, weaponising racism and exploiting ignorance for power…which is easier than actually governing but delivers only failure.
Brexit is its ugly mascot.

TLDR: Britain’s cluelessness & denial on the threat from Russia continues. And on-Brexit messaging still trumps urgent national security concerns. Just as it did with the Tories. It’s not so much disappointing as genuinely scary. What will it actually take?

One thing to remember is that Russian state TV says NOTHING that isn't Putin-approved. Thus, one has to ask, "What is Putin's strategy here, and why does he want Russian state TV to say these things he knows will make headlines in the U.S. Newspapers?"

Before Brexit the UK was about as rich as Germany, and richer than France.
Now it is much poorer than either, by 2030 we will be poorer than Poland, and by 2040 we will be poorer than all 27 EU countries.
The magic of Brexit.
