Remember after the Brexit referendum when Japan had thousands of pages of contingency plans and the U.K. had one?

Yeah, that.

U.K. is only a fraction behind Japan in days of storage, but no mention yet from Downing Street.

U.K. isn’t far behind on quota.
As always, miles behind the Japanese on planning and transparency.

Flies from Isle of Wight to Durham to complain about heat pumps and net zero and Starmer raising the price of petrol then flies back to Portsmouth to complain about HMS Dragon leaving for the gulf.
He knows his audience.
He’s a dangerous idiot.

It’s like choosing to go to the petrol station Waitrose when there’s a Tesco Extra next door. Fine if you’re cash rich but if you aren’t it makes no sense at all.

After that he used, presumably tax payer money, to fly back down to Portsmouth to whinge about how long it had taken for HMS Dragon to depart for the gulf.
Just another day of whining and grifting

Which is why we survivors are asking, among other things, that burden of proof questioning be revised. DOJ stubbornly misunderstands this.

For Mahmoud Khalll, this past year has been marked by profound hardship-and by profound courage.
A year ago, Mahmoud was walking home through our city after sharing an iftar with his wife Noor when he was detained by federal agents, flown to Louisiana, and then held in an ICE facility for months. In that time, he was forced to miss the birth of his first child. All of this for exercising his First Amendment rights in protesting the ongoing genocide in Palestine.
And yet, even in the face of that cruelty, there has also been beauty. New Yorkers raising their voices in solidarity. A city refusing to look away. Mahmoud won his freedom, and a father was finally reunited with his child.
Last night, as we marked the one year anniversary of his detention, Rama and I were honored to welcome Mahmoud, Noor, and their son Deen to Gracie Mansion to break our fast together.
Mahmoud is a New Yorker, and he belongs in New York City. In a dining room, five people eat, chat and smile around a table of food.

Iftar, Day 19

He’s now live streaming from a petrol station about how they’d ditch net zero, heat pumps don’t work and how it’s Starmer’s fault that petrol prices are going up.
