Trump Announces Pardon for Honduran Ex-President Convicted in Drug Case
Juan Orlando HernΓ‘ndez was accused of receiving millions in bribes and partnering with cocaine traffickers. He was convicted in Manhattan in 2024 and sentenced to 45 years in prison.

Trump Announces Pardon for Honduran Ex-President Convicted in Drug Case Juan Orlando HernΓ‘ndez was accused of receiving millions in bribes and partnering with cocaine traffickers. He was convicted in Manhattan in 2024 and sentenced to 45 years in prison.

Trump is illegally blowing up boats in the Caribbeanβ€”supposedly to stop drugs coming into the US. Yet he pardons the former president of Honduras who was convicted of sending cocaine to the US. It doesn’t make any sense. Whatever Trump is doing in Venezuela, it’s not about drugs.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

A tweet by Jamie Bonkiewicz reads, β€œThis photo is the reason women cover their drinks.” Below it is a photo of three men in suits standing in a room with military personnel behind them. The man in the center gestures with both hands, while the other two stand with serious expressions.

Multi-million-pound investment in legal aid to boost access to justice for victims Criminal legal aid solicitors will receive up to Β£92 million more a year to help address the ongoing challenges in the criminal justice system.

Legal aid was decimated under the Tories.

In the last year, Labour have supported the system with small pots of funding in specific areas.

But following a major review and consultation on funding, they have today announced an increase of Β£92m more funding to rebuilt after years of neglect!

The UK and US have struck a deal on pharmaceutical trade.

In means:

1) the UK gets 0% tarrifs on medicines, medicial equipment exported to the US, helping UK pharmaceutical businesses.

I can't help thinking that the UK media are angry they don't get to be copied in to every decision the Govt make ahead of time.

Honestly the completely weird Budget coverage is mostly a sign of how pretty much any attack can stick when you’re unpopular enough.

Of course Rachel Reeves didn’t brief the full Cabinet on Budget details weeks in advance! No chancellor ever does! It would immediately leak!

This story is starting to make me feel I’m going slightly mad - maybe RR overdid the gloom, but the tax rises are paying for a) the welfare U-turns b) the Β£10bn-plus increase in headroom c) scrapping the two child limit d) bits of other spending eg higher local gov costs πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Remember: Farage wants a 2027 general election as their best chance of being in government.

Best route to that is to undermine the current government and get Starmer out - the call for a GE.

The more ministers he loses the higher that chance.
