Turns Out, Pete Hegseth Forgot a Crucial Step in Pausing Ukraine Aid
Guess who forgot to tell his boss what he was doing?
Last weekโs sudden pause on a weapons shipment to Ukraine was the handiwork of Defense Secretary Pete Hegsethโwho didnโt bother to inform Trump before enacting it.
The president is not in control of his own government.

Impossible for anyone to take Mr Galloway seriously as a defender of marriage, family values and fidelity.
Perhaps he's rehearsing for a new career as a comedian?

George Galloway:
โI donโt want my children to be taught that gay relationships are normal
"I want them to be taught that the normal thing in Britainโฆ is a mother, a father and a family.โ
The Lib Dems cherish diversity
The idea of instructing people to conform to a norm is anathema to Lib Dems

Will a request under FoI Act elicit an answer? It's certainly a matter of public interest.
If this is denied, can Liberty or similar organisation or individual with resources request a Judicial Review?
Anyone surprised Labour in government is behaving like this?

Why is the government keeping secret who it listened to over limits on foreign ownership of newspapers?
Government ran a consultation over the originally proposed 5% limit on foreign ownership, and following it now says it should be 15%.
But there are two odd things about the consultation...

Ten years ago, we lost Charles Kennedy.
MP for Ross, Skye and Lochaber from 1983 to 2015, he led the Liberal Democrats from 1999 to 2005, and is perhaps best remembered as one of the most prominent voices against the Iraq War.

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president.
And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict.
This should be *the* story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

I do think that a better media would be interrogating how a Leader of the Opposition has ended up arguing that we shouldn't prosecute people for calling for burning down hotels with people in whilst people are burning down hotels with people in.
