It appears that the Rwanda claim against UK is not based on a badly drafted termination clause, but...
...because the current government did not formally terminate the contract in time, hence the payments still due and owing.
If true, whoopsie.

I really, really need, as an actual gay human being and not a policy abstraction, people to understand that whilst you have a right to your religious views, I am not obliged to give you a special pass for believing I should not be treated equally to you just because you claim religious justification
Gordon Brown was “appalled” by the treatment of Kate Forbes over her socially conservative religious views during the SNP leadership election in 2023, a new biography says:

look, Fico is not exactly a reliable narrator here, but
Slovak PM Robert Fico — an ally of Donald Trump — was left shocked at the U.S. president's state of mind after a meeting at Mar-a-Lago, five European diplomats told us.
Fico was concerned about Trump's "psychological state," two of them said.

To say aloud that the vice president is friends with Nazis and to point out that his Holocaust tweet is crafted so as not to offend them is to sound crazy to everyone who doesn’t know both are stone cold facts. Frustrating thing.
Legitimately a feat of carefully calculated writing to issue a Holocaust Remembrance Day statement of this length without mentioning either (1) the people who perpetrated the Holocaust or (2) the people against whom they perpetrated it

"On June 8 and 9 Jupiter and Venus will be “within a little more than 1 degree of each other in the sky, about the width of a thumb held at arm’s length”, according to non-profit organisation The Planetary Society. A few days later, Mercury will also align diagonally with the two planets."

EXCLSUVIE: The Trump administration has secretly rewritten nuclear safety rules and shared them with the companies they're meant to regulate, without making the new rules publicly available.
We've obtained a copy of the new rules and here's what we found.
