Keep Palantir out of British policing.

This is bad, but on the other site people are telling me I'm bad for saying that.

"The best time to impeach the president of the United States was January 20. The second best time is now." —ancient Chinese proverb

between this and Chris Van Hollen saying he'll travel to El Salvador, congressional dems have entered the chat

It’s the evil laugh at the end for us 😕

Is the UK ready for war? In the wake of years of defence cuts and overreliance on the US, how prepared is the UK for the threat from a hostile Russia? @kentandsurreybylines.co.uk

🚨Some major errors & misleading claims from experienced presenter Nick Robinson on BBC Radio 4 Today, when discussing British Steel with Treasury Minister James Murray I hope these are corrected on tomorrow's programme, and Robinson sticks to the facts in future. Here's what he got wrong... 🧵

A helpful guide to the current state of US trade policy:

Had an international student ask whether their research papers might create problems for them with ICE. I said, I couldn't be 100% sure, but that they were welcome to submit hard copies. That's where we are.

I’m not kidding; this is DOGE at work; multiple US citizens getting notices that they just leave the country because USCIS is revoking their humanitarian parole. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

The thing is, the American way of life collapses without China. The Chinese way of life doesn’t collapse without the U.S.

And minimise your use of complicit social media. Leave Facebook, Instagram, X, right now. Delete rather than deactivate your accounts.

We need to isolate the U.S. completely until they rid themselves of this.

So far, the score appears to be Trump 0, China 34.

FWIW, I have gotten similar readings from my international clients, though it hasn't been uniform.

Brexit law - UK Supreme Court expedites appeal of NI court judgments on whether the Legacy Act is in breach of the Human Rights Act and the Windsor Framework (ie, are human rights standards reduced because of Brexit?)

Dollar slumps to 3-year low against euro. The world seems to be fleeing the U.S. dollar. Donald Trump’s mission for Putin is succeeding. www.ft.com/content/0ab1...

Authoritarian leader cult alert

It's pretty amazing that this quote from the White House press secretary could just as easily come from a sharp Trump critic: "Big Law continues to bend the knee to President Trump." They are just unabashedly speedrunning authoritarianism. talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

NEW: China increases tariffs on US imports from 84% to 125%. The dollar is slumping. US bond yields are rising, threatening a debt crisis. Stock market is set for worst week since global financial crash. Trump is in a war he should never have started. And he doesn’t have the cards.

Trump's special envoy, real estate investor Steve Witkoff's Gulfstream G650 arrives to St. Petersburg Pulkovo. Likely for a third round of talks with Vladimir Putin about Ukraine.

I have never experienced this much reticence and fear from all manner of sources

The European Union and China are now starting negotiations to abolish EU tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles. This is a major strategic failure for the United States.

Don’t lie. Of course we can do something about it !!!! I’m sick of our MSM ignoring Brexit and the benefit that rejoining the SM, CU or indeed the whole EU would bring us. It’s almost traitorous of them. news.sky.com/story/a-majo...
