Trump repeatedly lies about the number of drug overdoses in the United States. He routinely says 300,000 - 350,000 Americans die from drug overdoses every year. Last year it was fewer than 80,000 according to his own CDC. It's never been near 300,000.

I foresee abstention. This is where we are as a country. Our presence on UN Security Council has become meaningless.
There’s going to be a motion of censure at the UN and Starmer is going to have a decision to make.

Trump says we need to go after drug cartels.
Meanwhile, he disbanded a DOJ task force that took them on.
And he pardoned a former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking.
Trump doesn't care about drugs — he wants to be able to declare war on anyone he labels an enemy.
It's a power grab.

not that the present economic picture is rosy, but i do think that popular culture — and specifically nostalgia bait television — is a big part of the reason that our public memory of the 1970s, 1980s and even 1990s seems to miss the real economic pain that marked each of those decades.

On jury trials, it's important to remember how we got to the point where victims and defendants are waiting years for their cases to be heard.
As to what to do now we're here, Labour has a choice.
It’s not about Magna Carta, it's about money – and trade-offs.
