I’m told Labour MPs have been told by whips to *abstain* in the vote on Nigel Farage’s ten-min rule bill on leaving the ECHR, which has left some furious. Whips’ arguments seems to be to just ignore it. Labour MPs worry it leaves Lib Dems/Greens looking like only they care on this.

KERNEN: Speaking of Nvidia, I don't know if it's a shakedown, but it doesn't seem normal to say 'you can sell your chips to China, we just want 15%'
HASSETT: There's a serious national security risk if the Nvidia chips lead to Chinese getting a head start in AI
K: How does getting 15% solve that?

People say the BBC lack flexibility in the modern digital era, but the launch and roll out of their 24 hour Charlie Kirk News channel in a matter of hours was pretty impressive.

This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law.
May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.

Take a moment to appreciate Harry Truman‘s negotiating skills. He got Hitler to surrender everything, agree to Germany’s occupation and then shoot himself in the head.
JD Vance: "This is how wars ultimately get settled. If you go back to World War 2, if you go back to every major conflict in human history, they all end with some kind of negotiation."

Just repeating it because some are repeating Microsoft's lies unquestioningly about them having to cut people to save money, etc.
Their gaming division was 26 *billion* USD in the black. They had just posted record revenue. They were swimming in money.
But Microsoft wants to invest *80bn* in AI.

Kemi Badenoch said we were about to “give away our Brexit freedoms”. Presumably she means the freedom to increase red tape, reduce GDP by 4%, treble immigration, put up barriers to trade, tarnish our international reputation and remove the right to live and work abroad.

Wealth is like a black hole, the more they have the more they can buy and the more they can drag in.
There is no such thing as Trickledown Economics.
But Black Hole Economics is very real.

British Rail was 3x cheaper than privatised rail, fares were much cheaper, more trains were on time, in fact everything was better.
But to do it properly we must buy back the trains too, currently we hire trains worth £5bn for £1.3bn a year, even though they last 25 years.
