Schiff: "Part of this is a consequence I think frankly of Chief Justice Roberts giving the president absolute immunity when it comes to his instructions to the DOJ. He can pretty much order them to do what he wants and know that he will never be held criminally liable."

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Perhaps Keir Starmer should have a chat with Carole Cadwalla. I think she'll have all the info he needs.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Every time Trump vindictively criticises someone's personality or actions he might as well be describing himself. It's just pure projection.
He's an absolute nasty, disgusting specimen of a human being.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social AI suggests that as from 2008 an F1 resident doctor would be on £57,000- 60,000 as opposed to the £38, 000 that they get now.

OBR accepts full responsibility for posting budget details early.

Nothing to do with Rachel Reeves or the government but the Tories will drone on endlessly for the next 50 years about it being the fault of a "shambolic" Chancellor / Labour Party. 🫩

Except : what did Gill actually say that Farage has not?
Reform UK desperately tried to distance Farage from the traitor Nathan Gill.

But here is Conor Gogarty reading Farage's own quotes about bribe-taker Gill back to him:

"I have worked closely with Nathan Gill as leader of Ukip Wales. I have always found him to be hard-working, honest, and loyal."

Meanwhile, in Reform's Lancashire CC, the councillor in charge of care homes, owns a private care home, and is closing council care homes. 👀

A resident’s son, a Reform party member, said any move would “kill” his mother. ~AA
