Centrist. London. Pro EU. Rejoiner. Democracy is under threat, not only from the dictators & authoritarians that occupy the planet, but also from within existing democracies. Private power + wealth is being used to overturn & threaten our democracy.
Plenty of support roles for keen, mature men. It will help release more frontline troops, where they are needed.

The slogan on the lecturn says it all. Used by the nazis in WW2, it indicates there will be reprisals if one one them was killed. DHS Kristi Noem, is threatening the public with the same and that is now Homeland Security policy.

Underpinning the training will be a new expectation set out in the SEND Code of Practice, confirming that all staff in every nursery, school and college should receive training on SEND and inclusion.
As someone who went through teacher training 20 years ago, this is a HUGELY welcome decision.

I think the Greenland saga is a deliberate 'dead cat' strategy to cover up & distract from the ongoing problems, eg Epstein in the US, which Trump has. Whenever he wants a distraction, Greenland pops up & the media focus on that. Same tactic with ICE deployments, using up news time, away from him.

One of the tricks the facsists use to fuck up your rights, is calling fascist stuff they do with positives, like "patriot act" or "moms for liberty", only to do the direct opposite of what it is named after.
That's why I call "Truth Social" always (!) "Lie Asocial". Because that's what it is.

Toby Young’s outfit went to court to hide its donors. Today we reveal that funders include US anti-abortion groups, Brexit politicians and Tufton Street insiders.

It would be hard to prove their influence on the election results, although there is proof of Tory bias in the past. I think it will be obvious for everyone to see, what they are up to at that time.
