In @nytopinion.nytimes.com With James Comey’s indictment, President Trump “has removed any pretense that the law is blind,” the editorial board writes. “As despots have done for centuries, he is persecuting people he considers his enemies, with little justification other than raw political power.”

For the Guardian, @turnbulldugarte.com and I discuss our research that clearly shows one thing: Labour's anti-immigration strategy will only strengthen Reform and weaken its own electoral prospects. It won't win voters back but ultimately normalizes the far right www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Chancellor right - the road to uk economic growth goes firmly through Europe and addressing damage Brexit has done to business. The deal we have so far shows the door is open to us to do so- join us in @labour4europe.bsky.social campaigning to do just that www.thetimes.com/article/ea32...

BREAKING: Sinclair ends its Jimmy Kimmel boycott in a huge win for the Free Speech and clearly proves that this was a partisan move to appease Trump.

We have 20 years of UK evidence that says Rachel Reeves is correct about this. Deeply depressing that some in government (let alone other parties) seem incapable of grasping it. migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/br....

Polls say more than 2 in 3 British adults want to rejoin the EU. Polls say Deform is on course for a governing majority. They can't both be right!

BOLDUAN: When I was asking you about Comey, you've twice now brought up the Epstein files and Tom Homan. Why? RASKIN: Because the DOJ is in full coverup mode

1) holy fucking shit 2) reminder to anyone seeing this: we're hearing about this because reporters from a local, public broadcaster are on the case. the more local journalism is picked off/defunded in the next few years, the fewer of these stories we'll have any easily broadcasted info about.

What the fuck?

Normally you have a Superintendent with a doctorate in education leading your school system. The school board immediately press releases appointment of an interim Superintendent, with no degree to replace him. No outrage, no calls for why this happened. They have no idea why. You know why.

UN members are shrugging off Trump’s dire warnings—and going on without him.

Europe is at hybrid war, Danish prime minister announces There is one obvious antagonist “and that is Russia,” Mette Frederiksen says. We in the UK have been under a hybrid war attack ever since Russian TV promoted Farage some 15 years ago. www.politico.eu/article/euro...

Hey, senator, a couple quick questions. Has Congress historically played any kind of role as a watchdog against abuses of power by executive agencies? Does it have any committees dedicated to "oversight" of "governmental affairs"? Does "your lane" involve betraying the oath of office you took?

Keir Starmer's aides are reportedly telling him not to go to the COP30 climate conference, because Reform would attack him for it. Yes, they might. And he should wear it as a badge of honour. Standing up for humanity, for science and a habitable planet. Where's the hazard in that?

I'll just leave this here.

Dear God, would be nice if Radio 4 didn't repeat obviously nonsensical arguments. Being forced into being undocumented and exploited by employers is not a "pull factor". Also the conflation between "asylum" and "illegal" is getting damn tedious.

98-99% of those crossing channel seek asylum. Asylum seekers already have to carry ARC cards as id. Majority of undocumented individuals in UK become so due to Home Office cock ups. Absolutely nothing about a digital id would "deter channel crossings" or stop people working as undocumented migrants.

here's a flashback from 20 years ago that's suddenly relevant again

Oh you’ve gotta be fucking kidding me “Blair would head a body called the Gaza International Transitional Authority (Gita) which would have a mandate to be Gaza’s “supreme political and legal authority” for as long as five years.”

Oh yeah, this would definitely go down well. I am sure there will be a clamouring of support

Sanctioning Russia's shadow fleet vessels has been strikingly effective. But too few ships appear on multiple sanctions lists — and Moscow exploits the gap. The EU has announced plans to blacklist 118 more vessels in its 19th sanctions package. Yet there have been no new US designations this year.

I feel like a broken record. But this is the wrong strategy.

The only case I was involved in had exactly that pattern. 3 years of inaction to incessant racial hatred, inc the Euros racism against England players. Then very proactive seizing of devices by counter-terror polices after a Gab post fantasising about shooting migrants bsky.app/profile/sund...

He became incessant in October, I sent some of his [now deleted] messages to Kent police, with evidence he was orchestrating many others too. I was told on 7th January they would interview him imminently. I have heard noting substantive for 9 months after that though chased it in June & August

Laws sent me a vast barrage of racist messages in Oct 2023 after he was booted out of Reform - he was on the candidate list! - for racism to myself and Rishi Sunak that Spring. He also stirred up a campaign of racism by others.
