When is an order an ‘unlawful command’?

And why has Trump reacted so furiously to six members of Congress correctly stating the law?

By me, at @prospectmagazine.co.uk

(In which I go and look at the actual law and guidance in US and also UK.)

www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/th...
What the six members of Congress said was correct—indeed it went no further than that the Department of Defense’s own court martial manual guidance. No particular order is mentioned: the video is framed in general terms. In any normal circumstance, the response of the US president and the administration generally would be to say “of course”. But Donald Trump and the administration did not respond in that sensible way. The president said that the six legislators should be tried and executed for sedition. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is investigating. There is even the proposal that one of the six, Senator Mark Kelly, is recalled to service so he can be punished and dismissed, notwithstanding his exemplary military service. This is nasty political intimidation on a grand scale. But the six are standing firm in the face of this bullying onslaught. They are right to do so. Although the video is a political act, to which there should be political responses, the content of the video aligns with the US government’s own formally published understanding of when orders should be disobeyed.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

My company food allowance is £50 per day. Realised I can buy a couple of homeless people a sizeable meal whenever I travel and consume fewer calories at the same time. Makes me feel great and have had some great chats with real people. Do it if you can.

Superb piece by @jamesbloodworth.bsky.social in this month's @bylinetimes.bsky.social mag: "Britain's Media Has Let Nigel Farage Reshape Political Journalism - Why?" This article alone was worth my annual sub to one of the very few news outlets still doing proper journalism
Snippet of Byline Times, November 2025, pointing out how the British mainstream media has created a "perfect circle of self-perpetuating hype" around Nigel Farage, i.e. how his prominence in MSM feeds his popularity which in turn justifies further coverage, and so on. Author proposes that this is a predictable consequence of an industry that has restructured itself around virality.

Really not worth it. He knows his game is over and so is resorting to personal attacks.

OH LOOK, OUR RACIST PRESIDENT POSTED A RACIST VIDEO, BECAUSE HE'S A RACIST MORON. MANY BIG STRONG READERS WITH TEARS IN THEIR EYES ARE SAYING TO ME "SIR! WE'VE NEVER SEEN POSTS LIKE YOURS! LOOK AT ALL THESE WORDS! HOW DO YOU DO IT, SIR!" PLEASE READ MY LATEST, THANKS! LINK IS HERE: bit.ly/4mDVnJ9
what the fuck is up with the sombrero and the mariachi music? is Donny so demented that he thinks Hakeem Jeffries is Mexican? one grows so tired of repeatedly pointing this out, but it never stops being true: this is not how a responsible adult governs. this is how a spiteful child acts, when he can’t get his way. ‘I’ll show you, here’s a video of you looking like a stupid poopy-head.’ it’s all so fucking embarrassing.

The Guardian, as usual is missing crucial differences between the EU’s ID cards and Starmer’s proposed Brit card, why?
Because they are shockingly ill-informed.
Thread

Starmer’s ID plan has caused upset, but in the EU the debate has long been settled
ID cards have become an essential part of life for many across the bloc, with digital versions already launched in many member states
