Trump: "Emmanuel said to me, 'Donald uhhhhhhhhh you have a deal. I would love to increase my prescription drug prices by 200%. It would be such an honor. Whatever you want Donald, please. Please Donald! I beg you!' Every country said the same thing."

On January 6, 2021, Thomas Webster, an ex-NYPD officer, attacked a cop at the Capitol. He went to prison—then was pardoned. Jamie Thompson spoke with Webster and with officers who were attacked about the enduring effects of that day—and Trump’s mission to make Americans forget it.

Not the most important thing. But this contract was - probably unlawfully - awarded without competition. But the Court of Appeal, under pressure from the Tories over our VIP lane judicial reviews, said there was no public interest in who Government awards contracts to so there can be no challenge.
Yet another huge contract, awarded without any competitive bidding process, to Wes Streeting's favourite NHS supplier, the Hard Right US surveillance tech specialists Palantir, for military decision making capability.
Palantir lands biggest ever UK defense deal
The £240 million contract with the Ministry of Defence has renewed a debate about Britain’s dependence on American technology.

Failure to condemn US intervention risks encouraging others to take similar action, warns senior Labour MP
The lack of western condemnation of the US military intervention in Venezuela could embolden China and Russia to take similar action against other countries, a senior Labour MP has warned.
Emily Thornberry, who chairs the Commons foreign affairs committee, said that without a coherent and strong response to Donald Trump’s move at the weekend to remove the Venezuelan president, Nicolás Maduro, and bring him to the US, the norms of international law could break down.

They Say They’re Protesters. The DOJ Says They’re Terrorists.
The federal government rounded up 18 activists tied to an anti-ICE protest in Texas, claiming they were part of an antifa cell. The case is the first big test of Trump’s crackdown on left-wing groups and free speech.
