Does he have the power to make up new laws and determine the punishment- all on his own? I thought USA (but not UK as a whole or its 4 nations) has written constitution which is intended to prevent arbitrary legislation?

Republicans control the White House, Senate, and House.

This government shutdown is on them.

Iโ€™m a naive Scot. How can a government shut down? It doesnโ€™t mean Trump shutting up, I think?

Born 1952 I remember life (and too often death/disability) before immunisations. Why isnโ€™t smallpox around anymore? The wee scar on my left arm. TB not prevalent in UK? The wee scar on my right arm.

Have you seen these Guardian reports of Farage's obscene racist language in the late 1990s? Most people are unaware of them, so please share them. The public, politicians, and new media must be made aware of Farage's racism.

Great moments in Conservative Party History.

Literally everyone I know with indefinite leave to remain is either in the NHS or education - so Iโ€™m not sure how they can prove theyโ€™ve contributed more to society than theyโ€™ve always done. Theyโ€™ve certainly done more than any no mark Labour politician whose sat on their lazy arse their entire life

What has Yvette Cooperโ€™s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country?

Beyond absurd. Itโ€™s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide.

It undermines police and the law.

Two criminals (one already convicted) one awaiting trial by ICC come up with a peace plan (with a sting in the tail). Doesnโ€™t merit a Nobel Prize.
