‘Absolute hell’: Irishman with valid US work permit held by Ice since September Seamus Culleton has been in a detention facility in Texas for nearly five months despite having no criminal record

This is absolutely insane. The sort of Kafka-esque nightmare you would find in a Philip K Dick book set far in the dystopian future. A window on America tumbling into autocracy.

Goodwin literally had a hissy fit when Alan Rusbridger & David Aaronovitch went for dinner after an event they all did together & chose not to ask him. He’s palpably desperate to go to fictional dinner parties that exist only in his warped imagination. Instead he gets to suck lemons with 30p Lee.

457 UK armed forces personnel died in Afghanistan during the 20-year deployment.
This is a fucking hideous thing to say. Even by his non-existent standards.

Also, this story illustrates a fundamental truth: Trump's opinions are shaped by the last person he spoke to

Once again after an hour long racist rant full of lies by the US president the Times writes another of its “ say what you like about Trump but…’ editorials. If the paper ever had a moral compass it’s lost it

🚨BOOM! Now over 90,000 signatures!

The Petition calling for by-elections to be called automatically when MPs defect to another party is getting so close to the 100,000 needed.

Let’s keep going!

And it is hugely appreciated that you came way out West. Thank you for a brilliant evening.

I don't have the stomach to watch, so will wait for the analysis. (Choosing carefully whose analysis to watch.)

This is a shameful press conference, a rambling lying Trump running down his predecessor, egged on by a clutch of craven so- called journalists from both sides of the Atlantic

Political violence and threats are not the answer.

This is a watershed moment — we can choose to stay silent and live in fear, or we can choose to be loud for peace and compassion.

We must work together to stop this crisis, and it should start from the top with the President.

Keir Starmer has an opportunity to claw back some reputation this week, by standing up to Trump. Don't be rude. Don't be aggressive, but if the orange lump starts criticising the UK then you have to show some back bone and tell him to back off and shut up. Get his own house in order!

Nine years on from the Brexit referendum, heres' a quick reminder of how it was sold to us

Baron Trump off to the podiatrist first thing this morning.

Mahmoud Khalil released from Ice detention after more than three months Columbia graduate freed from Louisiana facility after judge ruled he is ‘not a danger to the community – period’ Columbia University graduate Mahmoud Khalil was released from US immigration detention, where he had been held for more than three months over his activism against Israel’s war on Gaza. Khalil, the most high profile of the students to be arrested by the Trump administration for their pro-Palestinian activism, and the last of them still in detention, was ordered to be released by a federal judge on Friday afternoon from an Ice facility in Jena, Louisiana, where he has been held since shortly after plainclothes immigration agents detained him in early March in the lobby of his Columbia building.

Dear Canada-

YouTube video by Peter Stefanovic Nigel Farage says first thing he would do as PM if he won a GE would be to remove UK from the ECHR

Nigel Farage has told ITV News the first thing he would do as prime minister if he won a general election would be to remove the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights

That alone is good reason never to vote for Reform UK.

I think this the first time Brexit has appeared as an attack line in a major English speaking political campaign.

US protests live: Demonstrations planned across US to oppose Trump agenda More than a thousand events to be held across the country in a show of defiance against Trump’s ‘authoritarian overreach’ Good morning, Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to take to the streets of Washington DC and other major cities across the US in a show of defiance against Donald Trump’s “authoritarian overreach and billionaire-backed agenda”. This is a nationwide mobilization to stop the most brazen power grab in modern history. Trump, Musk and their billionaire cronies are orchestrating an all-out assault on our government, our economy and our basic rights – enabled by Congress every step of the way. They want to strip America for parts – shuttering social security offices, firing essential workers, eliminating consumer protections and gutting Medicaid – all to bankroll their billionaire tax scam. They’re handing over our tax dollars, our public services and our democracy to the ultra-rich. If we don’t fight now, there won’t be anything left to save. Continue reading...
