This criminal complaint seems pretty thin on the statutes charged. She allowed the defendant to leave the courtroom by a different door in her courtroom. The arresting agents literally saw him in the hallway right after going to elevator 1/

Those Britons upset at European caution in taking the UK into our defence structures: where have you been the last few years?
It's up to the UK to rebuild trust, by doing things like honouring its current treaties and asking to become part of European institutions.

What's taking down Tesla's stock price?
Spoiler alert - it's not socialism, or activism, or wokeism.
It's CAPITALISM -- dropping sales numbers, failing to meet delivery deadlines and investor expectations.
The market is speaking, and it's voting NO on Tesla -- and on Musk.
