On reflection, it’s probably safest if Trump doesn’t find out what Habeas corpus is.

Can't wait for the tense identification parade scene where a terrified witness has to point at the culprit.

"Antifa has been around in various iterations for almost 100 years in some instances, going back to the Weimar Republic in Germany."

Habeas Corpus, another brave Hungarian peasant girl like her cousin Magna Carta…

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

Great (and funny) speech on freedom and personal liberty by Jack Rankin MP springs to mind

Amid many speeches, the best speech I heard this week - indeed one of the best I’ve ever heard - was by a Ukrainian former university professor, now an officer in the Ukrainian army’s Azov Corps. They are opposing barbarism with mind, body and heart. A remarkable nation. #cpc25

That’s very kind of you to say - I very much enjoyed taking part in it

Farewell, Manchester - my favourite party conference venue - after another hectic, rewarding week. Dozens of top notch Total Politics fringe events, great reporting from @politicshome.bsky.social + ConservativeHome, and networking with politicians, activists and clients. See you again soon! #CPC25

Ludlow Castle is a classic - and Ludlow itself is a lovely place overall. Stokesay Castle is good too (though a fortified Manor House rather than a castle castle).

Mere days after a fatal terrorist attack, this is being paraded in Trafalgar Square today. For shame.

Yet oddly you won’t answer the question.

Mark Wallace @wallaceme.bsky.social · 5d

I know the answers, Lucy. I've been to both Israel and the West Bank, and met people of various communities in each. I'm interested to see if you know the facts, and to discover how your dogma sits when compared with them.

You appear to be saying you support the universal right to self-determination, except for Israelis whom you exempt on vague grounds of "colonialism".

Tell me, how many Arab Muslims are there in peaceful co-existence in Israel? And how many Jews are allowed to live in the West Bank and Gaza?

Oh sod off

Mark Wallace @wallaceme.bsky.social · 5d

So you support Israel’s right to exist and are therefore a Zionist? Make your mind up…

1

Mark Wallace @wallaceme.bsky.social · 5d

If you are “anti-Zionist” then you oppose Israel’s right to exist, and thereby the application of the universal human right of self-determination for its people. As you’ve said, cutting one group of people out of a right is explicitly racist. Look in the mirror.

Oregon, 1939. “Unemployed lumber worker goes with his wife to the bean harvest. Note Social Security nr. tattooed on arm.”
Nr. 535-07-5248 belonged to one Thomas Cave, born July 1912, died in 1980 in Portland, OR. Which would make him 27 years old when this picture was taken.
