RAF fighters scrambled twice to intercept Russian planes last week

Last year I reported on this case for @bylinetimes.bsky.social . Now the MoJ has been found guilty of racial discrimination, harassment, and constructive unfair dismissal, in a landmark case we helped first exposed. bylinetimes.com/2025/04/11/m...

I'd add to this excellent @dsmitheconomics.bsky.social piece that the way to hit Trump where it hurts (psychologically/politically) isn't a tariff war we can't win, but showing we/other advanced economies can globalise *without* the US. www.thetimes.com/business-mon...

Fury among families after senior Hillsborough officers absolved by police watchdog

Wow who could’ve guessed that this would happen It’s almost as if USAID was a pillar of American soft power and influence in the world It’s almost as if it was entirely predictable that America’s adversaries would work to fill the void left by USAID’s destruction

Also appointed to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court by John Roberts. Obviously they don't care that what they're saying is plainly false, it's just their reflex whine when judges rule appropriately.

Trump has shut the Inter-American Fdn, a US fed agency doing development in LatAm. IAF was the top-scorer on the Grantee Perception Report for some years on how helpful grantees found its monitoring process. We investigated *why* grantees found it so helpful... giving-evidence.com/2016/01/27/i...

Breaking news: The Department of Health and Human Services has granted associates of the U.S. DOGE Service access to a sensitive child support database with troves of income data, overriding the objections of career employees.

“Georgescu has been indicted on 6 serious charges. His phone was tapped so Romania authorities have plenty of evidence against him, especially their calls to the Russian ambassador for help, furthermore his extremist paramilitary unit is linked to Wagner & Chechnya’s Ramzan Kadyrov.” Cache of arms

This is stunning. The Secretary of State, acting as director of USAID, authorized specific grant payments--with the president's support--only to have them halted by Musk associates. This is beyond a president exceeding his power, "DOGE" is operating outside and against the US Constitution.

You first.

Such a distinctive image

The US just voted alongside Russia, Belarus and North Korea against a UN resolution to support Ukraine. This is a wake-up call for all those cheerleading Trump in our country.
