This 'person of interest' is wearing different shoes in the 2 pics.

When you say you are confident *in* someone, does that mean you are confident *that* some thng is or is not true about them? If so, what?

I am reading that politicians of the left should be held to standards that those of the right ignore, and I hope you enjoy your moment of purity before a populist government sweeps away norms and laws entirely

Say it again, and again, and again. They are not "illegal immigrants". -seeking asylum is legal and has been since 1951. This legally trumps all arguments of “but they arrived by illegal means”. That’s just a fact. That’s why you don’t see asylum seekers arrested & charged. Our MSM must do better.

"Health and care leadership has become enthralled by performance management: dashboards, inspections and league tables... When they dominate, care is hollowed out. People learn to perform adequacy rather than offer real care."

And again, the law is making an ass of itself. And this law is the work Yvette Cooper, who abused her role as Home Secretary to terrorise protest and is now promoted to Foreign Secretary. No doubt she will continue to ardently & dangerously support Israel from that new position.

Just Trump declaring war on a US city, a normal Saturday

"Trump’s swipe at EU digital laws is a threat to the very foundations of democratic governance: the rule of law, freedom from foreign interference, and the protection of our children in the digital age"

Understand what you would lose!!! 😡

Delighted to be speaking on this on Tuesday!

Trump & Hegseth promise “maximum lethality” that’s MAGA speak for they plan to murder a lot of civilians around the world. This is the sort of thing we imprison* people at the Hague for. Hegseth doesn’t have immunity. “Maximum lethality. Not tepid legality. Violent effect, not politically correct.”

The pace and audacity are staggering.. and frankly sickening, but we won’t stop tracking their actions

Ucha Mamatsashvili, Ivanishvili’s cousin, manages offshore networks that shield the oligarch’s wealth. Ukraine has already flagged him for sanctions. He is a textbook Magnitsky case. Why has Brussels and the UK not followed? 8/16

A United States Senate investigation has identified more than 500 credible reports of human rights abuses in US immigration detention since January, including alarming allegations of mistreatment of pregnant women and children.

A protest against the visit of US vice-president J.D. Vance has been staged in Charlbury, the Oxfordshire town closest to his holiday venue of Dean. The demonstration, organised by the Stop Trump Coalition and local residents, featured placards such as “Cotswold childless cat ladies say go home”.

Every word. Feels like the Starmer government is really losing the plot now.

This.

The village of Dean has entered a lockdown for the imminent arrival of US vice-president JD Vance. All entrances to the village (between Chipping Norton and Charlbury) are closed to non-residents, with police stationed at every road and even footpath.

The Stop Trump Coalition is planning a protest at 4pm on Tuesday at the Mill Field, Charlbury, close to the railway station. The group has already demonstrated at Chevening, where Foreign Secretary David Lammy hosted Vance.

Residents of Dean have erected placards protesting against the arrival of American vice-president J.D. Vance in the tiny West Oxfordshire village. They say that they are “extremely angry”, but that the police presence which has sealed off the village has made a “proper protest” impossible.
