Biden's broken promise on pardoning his son Hunter is raising new questions about his legacy
President Joe Biden’s decision to go back on his word and pardon his son Hunter wasn't all that surprising to those who are familiar with the president's devotion to his family.

I would add that Labour’s relaunch reads as a list of policies they would like to enact if the plan works. But I don’t see a plan. In 2025 (in my view) they will have to either set the country on trajectory to rejoin SM and CU or align more closely with US. Rudderless mid-Atlantic is unsustainable.
All of this and more. Not only does the government not 'speak human' or have a good story about what it wants to achieve, it also doesn't have a particularly convincing account of the country or the world as it is. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Labour’s big relaunch won’t solve its biggest problem: this government doesn’t speak human | John Harris
Farage and Trump are winning because they understand the politics of emotion, while Labour is lost in numbers and statistics, says Guardian columnist John Harris

Another day, another profoundly unserious piece on immigration. "At times, this will cost money". If you are "serious" about "tackling" this issue, have to start by acknowledging it will cost a huge amount of money or show any sign at all of having done any scoping of what it would involve.
I think @joshglancy.bsky.social misses a couple of foundational points of context in this piece
If net migration at 700-900k is unsustainable, but is already sbout *half that level now* (year to Dec 2024, figures in May 2025) are further tight changes needed?
