Starmer and Reeves visibly have absolutely no interest in governing well to set up Labour to be in the best possible shape going into 2028-9, so they have to go ASAP.

The last 48 hours have freshly demonstrated why “just grit it out with Keir and do a last minute change” is not a goer, but you can see why some Labour MPs were attracted to it for so long.

Scott MacFarlane reports on growing momentum in Congress for Supreme Court term limits. Several bipartisan proposals would impose 18- or 20-year limits on Supreme Court justices. Rep. Olszewski says the issue goes beyond any single ruling and reflects a broader crisis of confidence in the Court.

This a great article by @adambienkov.bsky.social. It encapsulates (by accident, this wan't its aim) why I want Starmer gone. I just love Sadiq Khan! www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/the-lesson...

If you never read the book or saw the movie, you missed one of the greatest Pulitzer Prize winning sagas ever written. To dishonor Alex Haley like this is disgraceful.

Thomas Massie pushed for the release of the Epstein files, and the response has been tens of millions in outside spending, smear campaigns, and coordinated attacks. If this is what they do to a sitting member of Congress, imagine what Epstein survivors face when considering whether to come forward.

It’s weird that Helen of Troy being played by a black actress is a problem, but most of the rest of the Mediterranean, Greek and Turkish characters being played by incredibly fair and blond haired people of British, Irish and Scandinavian descent isn’t. And by weird, I mean entirely predictable.

The stories & photos from today’s voting rights marches in Alabama deserve to be seen by people who weren’t able to stand there in person.

Reform and the Tories believe in Brexit because they are entirely deluded. Too many in Labour will not tell the truth about it because they are cowards. The Greens are not a serious party, the LibDems are not a national one. This country has a lot further to fall.

RESULT #3: State Senator Greg Goode, yet another Republican who voted against the GOP gerrymander, has *prevailed* over a Trump-endorsed primary challenger. He remains the Republican nominee heading into November.

RESULT #2: State Senator Jim Buck, another Republican who voted against the GOP gerrymander, has also been ousted. He too lost to a Trump-endorsed primary challenger.

UPDATE: State Senator Travis Holdman, who voted against the GOP gerrymander, has been defeated by his Trump-endorsed primary challenger. (AP call.) In 3 other districts, the incumbents trail by 24%, 8%, and 6%. One incumbent leads by 20%. (No results SD1, SD23, and SD6 for now.)

We have results at the moment from 5 of the Indiana senate districts featuring GOP incumbents who opposed redistricting. (No district is even half-reporting.) Across these 5 races, only one incumbent is up (SD38). Two others are trailing by 1-2%. And two are trailing by 20%.

He murdered Renee Nicole Good. Shot her three times and then called her a “f*cking b*tch”. Her last words? “It’s ok dude I’m not mad”. He got three days administrative leave before being transferred to another state. No punishment. No accountability. No justice.

There is Something Wrong with Donald J Trump. What is it 🤔🤔🤔.

While Trump was golfing, Sophisticated drones attacked Louisiana’s Barksdale bomber base on 9 March. It was the first time a US airbase was temporarily put out of operation in wartime, something that never happened even in World War II. CBS, CNN, MSNBC failed to mention it.

📌BREAKING via NYT: “Pete Hegseth is blocking the promotion of four Army officers to be one-star generals, a highly unusual move." Two of the officers are Black and two are women, the other 32 are white men. Tell me again this regime isn’t fueled by bigotry and misogyny, and I’ll call you a liar.
