Trump says FBI ‘may have to’ get involved after Texas Democrats flee state to forestall gerrymandering vote – live updates US senator John Cornyn asked agency director Kash Patel to help law enforcement locate and arrest lawmakers

Only Texas authorities can force Texas representatives back into the house to vote

There is absolutely no way that the federal government can get involved

This is absolutely completely awful overreach by this terrible president

It's very unfair for you to blame the 48% on what the 52% voted for.

If you self-declare your ethnicity as Jedi to the police, then if they are compelled to release your ethnicity on an announcement in press release then they must say Jedi?

Cooper's announcement is performative cruelty - they know it can't be implemented

Says @eddavey.libdems.org.uk: “We could free British businesses to get on with their work, create jobs and grow our economy. That is the real change people across the country are crying out for. The opportunity is there and the rewards are great.”

US Coast Guard releases report calling Titan disaster a ‘preventable tragedy’ Poor safety practices, lack of oversight and toxic workplace blamed for implosion in which five people died

Titan submarine disaster:

Canadian inspectors had reasonable grounds to believe the craft posed a “clear and immediate danger to life” for those boarding from Canadian soil

It should have been impounded by the Canadian authorities

Thanks. That's the cut and paste error. I will delete and repost

It is more important to get 2/3 of the public in agreement on better relationships with Europe rather than argue about points of detail that will put people off and we're back into 48/52 again

Ethnicity is completely impossible to define.

And as for religion, people from the zone so-called faith have been fighting each other about tiny points of detail for many centuries.

OK. I totally identify as Jedi.

Trump talks like Grampa Simpson

I have Type IV skin (southern European/tans easily)

And yet I fill in forms saying I am white English.

What's the police going to do if they arrest me?

There are no standard classifications for race

It is all completely made up

I was asked to fill in a form once that classified Ethiopians and Rastafarians together under religion

If you talk to an Orthodox Christian Ethiopian you will see how ridiculous that is to them

It was not abstaining on a simple motion on Palestine action

There were several far-right organisations that were listed in that particular bill. Lib dem's put an amendment through to remove Palestine action and that amendment was not called for vote

Therefore they abstained on the whole thing

And what if the person who's been arrested refuses to self-declare their ethnicity?

What do the police do if someone 'looks a bit foreign'?

This is completely disgusting and unforgivable from this Labour 🥀 government

I don't know what this means but please click on where it says follow Ed Davey in the guardian 👇

Guidance on police disclosing suspects’ ethnicity should change, Cooper says Home secretary says Law Commission is looking into change amid row over case of alleged rape in Warwickshire

Does Cooper mean that if a Jewish person is arrested, then their ethnicity will be stated?
Irish white?
Travellers?

Will only brown skin?

This would open a horrible Pandora's box - it will put the police in an impossible position

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

This strategy of pandering to the fascists assuming that they will eventually be satisfied has been failing since 2016 and this bloody government are incapable of learning that lesson.

Totally

Exactly this. Nobody wants to know the ethnicity or immigration status of white suspects or defendants, but plenty of people with malign intent want to know about “others” - even though they are innocent unless proved guilty (by a court, not by the racist gangs). Starmer needs to find his spine.
