Marco Rubio didn't mention Russia or the Ukraine war in his speech on European security. Not once in his prepared remarks.
But he did push a racial/religious supremacist version of Western civilization and chastise them for immigration.
Basically the same speech as Hegseth, less boorishly phrased.

I totally read this as incidental brushes on the street as in people brushing past one another on the street and thought well yes its called the public and its quite common in London but never with eye contact. Interdental brushes sounds like a way of rubbing cocaine into the gums.

Antonia Romeo is the wrong choice for Cabinet secretary. A government which was serious about improving its performance would not select her.

@iandunt.bsky.social podcast mic is a bit snap crackle pop this end sounds like recording on vinyl. Try using an XLR lead rather than USB lead you can also get pop filters that help. I recently did a podcast on mental health with Network Rail and they swapped to XLR. The content as per was spot on.

Outstanding. A triumph for liberty and against unrestrained state power. The government should be ashamed of having to be forced into this position.

IMPORTANT
The court has not yet formally ordered the quashing of the provision, and so it still remains in force pending an Order - see highlighted text.
So provision remains in force.
Suspect government may seek urgent appeal before Order made.
