15 years ago today I arrived on Downing Street in a cage.
I've seen off Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak and I'm still going strong.
Only two Prime Ministers have ever done longer stints here: William Pitt the Younger and Sir Robert Walpole.

Here we go again.
We need an “agent of change” principle in this country. They knew there was a club there but skimped on the sound proofing.
This stuff is on purpose. They shouldn’t be rewarded for it. It’s entirely their own fault.

There you have it.

It's a weapon used to brutalize Americans and stoke enough fear so that Trump can rig the elections and usher in dictatorship.

Tomorrow: The first of two reports from women speaking out for the first time about having their images manipulated explicitly without their consent.
They've suffered years of trauma, panic attacks and unsolicited messages from men.
This is why the Grok issue matters.

Deeply weird and menacing scenes in Minneapolis. ICE agents sat in masks and balaclavas in unmarked, often blacked out cars, watching local residents. They themselves being observed by a network of locals, trying to deter them from mounting raids. Profoundly abnormal.
