Watching the Trump/Carney press conference in horrified fascination at the behaviour of the buffoon who is the current President of the USA.

Don't forget that 41 Tory MPs in the last government took Russian donations. That might account for media reticence to report on the Nathan Gill case.

History is totally repeating its self. After 80 years, we have learned from history, what we have not learned from history.

NEWS: DC US District Court issued an emergency motion to stop ICE from detaining unaccompanied immigrant children in adult facilities once they turn 18. This ruling enforces a permanent injunction + halts a directive to place newly โ€œaged-outโ€ youth into adult ICE detention.

Kemi Badenoch brushing aside the inevitable crashing out of the Tory negotiated Brexit deal if the U.K. leaves the ECHR?

Honestly, there is no way the EU are ever going to negotiate a return to the EU or indeed the SM and CU with these batshit extremist politicians in the U.K.

Madness!

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. Iโ€™ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

If you can't see how this will end, then you're not paying attention (not least to what's going on on the other side of the Atlantic).

And if we were independent?

The best Edinburgh decides to inflict on Shetland.

Or the Western Isles.

Or the North East.

It's just grievance to make you angry.

Rise above it.

Embrace democracy.

if you get a majority of the votes you win, if you don't you lose.

It's called democracy. It's not a great system but it's the best we've got.

Another day another Spiked Online pundit on media with no explanation of what they are. Fraser Myers writes for Spiked: a platform now funded by climate change denier & billionaire Charles Koch. Not surprising Fraser is for scrapping the Climate Change Act. #PoliticsLive

Me and my OH were discussing who could replace Badenoch.

We concluded that all the intelligent ones and with any human appeal were kicked out by Johnson.

Only obvious successor is Jenrick who is as thick as Badenoch.

Mordant seems to be promoting herself, but she's no brainbox either.

"plays down". Seriously.

Badenoch said her Removals Force was based on ICE. The threat is there and the potential is there. Why else would they want to leave the ECHR?

And why would we believe Philp's "playing down" when we know the Tories are battling with Reform on this issue?
