It should be a source of profound embarrassment that a bunch of FedSoc lifers are taking a more vocal and principled stand against the corrupt Eric Adams deal than most elected Dems.

JD Vance’s Munich Security Conference speech has gone down well…in Moscow. Komsomolskaya Pravda headline: “Humiliated Europe out for the count. Its American master flogged its old vassals.”

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy, "Does America need Europe? As a market? Yes"

"But as an ally? I don't know"

"For the answer to be yes, Europe needs a single voice, not a dozen different ones"

"We must build the closest possible relationship with America, but as Europeans, not just as separate nations"

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

And perhaps those of the BBC.
I noticed on the late news last night here in Scotland, Vance's incorrect statements about the abortion clinic buffer zone were presented, with absolutely no comment on their inaccuracy.

They failed with the Angela Rayner attack, but scored a hit with Lou Haigh and Tulip Siddiq. Now it's Rachel Reeves' turn. They think they sense blood in the water. Misogyny is exactly what it is. They are trying to pick off the women in the cabinet.

Not just “Labour sources” asking this, Times. Pretty much every decent-minded person out there wonders why the hell the right thinks these relentless misogynistic attacks on Labour politicians are acceptable. Particularly when you hand out free passes like smarties to the utterly corrupt Tory party.

I know everything feels grim right now but let's be realistic. These people are idiots. They're going to tank their economy. They're going to fuck-up every deal they sign. They're going to leave America looking shattered and deranged. And all those who supported them will look as idiotic as they are

🚨 Russia has reportedly used an ICBM in the Ukraine conflict— the first in recorded history. A chilling escalation with global implications.

Please spare a thought for James Dyson, the Brexit-voting billionaire who bought up 33,000 acres of farmland to avoid tax then moved his business to Singapore. He's the real victim here.

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up.

If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds
