Oh excellent. Another think tank grifting for foreign money to buy our democracy and put Farage in No. 10 - via a pact with the unelectable Tory party, a manifesto modelled on Trump’s Project 2025 and the strong hope that - with helpful media cover - voters will be stupid enough to fall for it.

My unoriginal comment is that this will not end well. Easier to start wars than end them, let alone on your terms. (As Hamas found out). Unforeseen consequences. What’s the Israel/US strategy for the day after? Do they even have one? I have zero confidence in Trump’s national security team.

AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.

We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.

Yes. Stephen Miller literally overrode the Secretary of Agriculture on worksite raids. She convinced Trump to back her, he publicly announced a new policy, and Miller got that entire thing overturned in a matter of days and made Trump publicly back his vision instead.

just saw a group of masked men stuffing masked ICE agents into an unmarked car, who were saying "we're ICE we're ICE!" but the abductors shouted to the crowd "no we're ICE!" no one knew who was ICE, so no one in the crowd said anything.

As an illustration, I just debated a young "thinktank researcher" who said the fall in white British % was concerning, not for racist reasons, because we wanted to think that people we passed in the street had a "familial connection" to the country. Seriously, who the fuck thinks like this???

Actually, Bomber Command faced a lot of scrutiny over Dresden at the time and for decades after the war ended. Despite ordering the attack on Dresden, Winston Churchill would distance himself from it and Bomber Command as the 1945 election was approaching. For decades after, Dresden was scrutinized.

Hmmm, wonder if BBC News got the message, given this morning's radio bulletins included an item on the heinous murder by Israeli troops of Palestians trying to get to food aid - which is ongoing - that, for the first time, was scripted sympathetically and was mildly critical of Israel...🤔 👀

Somewhat strange to hear @bbcnickrobinson haranguing an NHS Consultant for being on “over £100,000” and claiming to channel the feelings of ordinary people. His salary in 2024 was between £345,000 - £349,000. For presenting radio programs. Which never saved anyone’s life?

I cannot emphasize enough how needlessly cruel the UK immigration system is to ordinary people who want a family life together and aren't well-off already, and anyone wanting to make it worse should be shunned.
