This requirement to verify your identity and connect it to your Companies House account is utterly kafkaesque. I received a default letter today even though I’ve done it already. Can I ring someone and clear it up? Don’t be silly.

WELKER: Why was this photo of a desk with a drawer open containing photos of Trump taken down?
BLANCHE: You can see in that photo there are photos of women. We learned there were concerns about them.
W: Are you saying those women are victims of Epstein?

Wait, what?
The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

"The truth is, these are not very bright guys"
WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer.
Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump.
Now, it’s gone.

“Russia has decided that the UK is Russia's enemy, and there's nothing we can do to change that as long as Putin is in power. The choice is whether to be an undefeated enemy or a defeated one. That's all the choice we get.”
Everything we can see tells us that Putin is never going to admit that the West is not, in fact, an existential threat to Russia, because he personally depends on the idea. And of all the parts of the West that are seen as an existential threat to Russia, the UK is hated most of all.

Following today’s sentencing of Paul Doyle, several people have understandably queried why he was not banned from driving for life.
It’s a good question, and one I attempted to grapple with in #NothingButTheTruth in the context of repeat driving offenders.

You might think that a man who drove into 100 people, using his car as a weapon, would NEVER be allowed to drive again.
It turns out he will be able to, around three years after leaving prison by taking an extended retest.
Why should he ever be able to get behind the wheel again?

It's a govt's job to do what's right, not what's popular. Reducing the limit would have reduced danger and KSIs in those roads.
