If they repealed the Equality Act would we revert to previous anti discrimination laws, ie the Sex Discrimination Act? Or would we just be without any protected characteristics altogether?
Braverman is now lambasting equalities policies, saying Reform would scrap the equalities brief and repeal the Equality Act. Giving her this role - any role, in fact - does feel like quite a risk for Reform.

Had fun at the "F**k Trump!! rally today outside Trump Tower. The joy of the protesters was inspiring! And there were NO counter protesters like last year because Trump has lost the passion of his base!

The reason the FBI won't share evidence in the Alex Pretti shooting case is obvious:
The FBI is NOT investigating the shooting; they are covering it up.

"If Europe’s leaders had a say in the next US presidential election, Gavin Newsom would be the frontrunner."
That's encouraging, but it's not his foreign policy cred that worries me. He's too close to the wrong people, and ultimately he will always disappoint.

“History might look back on the Trump years as the moment Silicon Valley’s broligarchs took control of our future. Newsom is uncomfortably close to the tech billionaires. Middle America on the other hand seems to be ripe for AI populism.” Me on the Dem early front runner. as.ft.com/r/60533d91-8...

Was Epstein an Israeli weapon of mass extortion?
Many of the staunchest Zionists and other Israel-First supporters who have enabled Israel’s regime, including by striving to repress the BDS movement on Israel’s behalf, are now exposed for their intimate relationships with Epstein.
