Thank God there’s some Republican pushback
Rep. Bacon on Trump's aggression toward Greenland: "I feel like it's incumbent on folks like me to step up and say these threats and bullying of an ally are wrong. And on the weird chance he's serious about invading Greenland, I want to let him know it will probably be the end of his presidency."

#RHOBH has become housewives-slop and the ratings it’s still getting are very telling about the world we live in

You’re going to make things more expensive for Americans…?
Oh. No. Stop.
Oh. No. Stop.
Trump:
"I may put a tariff on countries if they don't go along with Greenland."

Political pundit class in the United Kingdom yearns for the days when every story could be a no-facts-only-vibes "what does <latest thing> mean for the political fortunes of Boris Johnson?" blag, and actively resents the way complicated events in the outside world keep pushing them to do real work.
This intro to David Frost's Telegraph column sums up so much that is wrong with British politics.

This is even more infuriating when you remember how hard Frost lobbied to become National Security Adviser…

is this about Greenland or Minneapolis?
How about we not get into a fight with Scandinavian soldiers in a frozen landscape. Foreign invaders trying that while going "we're bigger than you, back down" has a bad record.

Opportunity to do a little thread on the time I tried to do some freelance diplomacy between the MP I worked for and the local party – and it blowing up disastrously…
Obviously secrets can come to light via leaks, enemy action etc. but never underestimate the potential for simple cock-up. I once provided an extremely sensitive briefing document to a Shadow Minister who within hours (genuinely) accidentally dropped it out of a window.
UK Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has sacked her rival Robert Jenrick from the Shadow Cabinet and suspended his party membership after receiving evidence he was about to defect to Reform.

One thing to say is any competent government with a massive majority, unified message and a no-holds barred approach to genuine meaningful reform, should walk all over this bunch of charlatans, traitors and racists.

A brilliant day for the Conservative party. It no longer has Robert Jenrick in it. My initial thoughts on Robert Jenrick's sacking:
Jenrick’s sacking is both threat and opportunity for Badenoch
The surprise departure deprives Farage of some Westminster theatre and gives the Tories a chance to reclaim ground

I was idly thinking yesterday about how a rules-based international order has as much protected Putin’s regime as hindered it, and he’ll regret installing the epitome of “might is right” as leader of the most powerful country on Earth…

BREAKING Kemi Badenoch has sacked Robert Jenrick from the shadow cabinet, removed the whip and suspended his party membership.
She says she was "presented with clear, irrefutable evidence that he was plotting in secret to defect" to Reform
