The one thing authoritarian leaders usually have going for them is the general apathy of the majority when they make a move solely against a marginal group in society.
But when they occupy an entire city with clumsy, brutal force, that just forces everyone out of that apathy.

"There's always a tweet"
Given all the other recent Conservative defections he's accepted, "I've always thought Robert Jenrick was a fraud" reads more like a recommendation than a criticism

It is utterly ridiculous that the Home Secretary wants to reintroduce the power to sack chief constables.
Isn't she busy enough?
No other country is as centralised as Britain - this is just a small example of the utter parochialism of people like Mahmood.

We are becoming numb to the delusional thinking that defines this administration and its policies.
Rep. Randy Fine on his bill to make Greenland the 51st state: "We need to make sure we assert our dominance over the Western Hemisphere ... the last thing we need is Greenland to become another Venezuela where we have huge problems we have to deal with in the future."

Analysis | Joe Biden would not have invaded NATO allies, cut off child welfare, or sent armed forces to kill Americans. But he would have given very few press conferences and spoken in a halting voice. The voters got it right.
