This is the first part of Character Limit that made me laugh so hard I had to put my phone down

Let's be clear: the idea that breakfast clubs would adequately mitigate the impact of the two-child limit is absolute bollocks. The average household hit by the two-child limit loses out on roughly £3,800 a year. They're not currently spending that on coco pops.

Hope everyone in the UK remembers what Elon Musk is doing to the US government the next time Domminic Cummings writes a 30,000 word blog post on his plan to replace all the "NPCs" in Whitehall with 19 year old Nazi superforecasters.

General Charles Q. Brown Jr., Faithfully and Honorably served the Constitution and The People of the US for 41-years in the USAF. His last posting was as the 21st Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was unjustly fired by the dangerously unqualified SECDEF. I proudly stand with Gen. Brown.

It was reported this week that British special forces officers vetoed asylum for their Afghan colleagues, because those soldiers had seen them commit war crimes against civilians and might be called to testify against them in court. As far as I can see, nobody who matters even blinked.

I was set to launch my book at the Carter Library next month. This week, we were told all events now need approval from the National Archives. The next day, my event was forced to relocate. A book about the working homeless. A book about civil rights. Apparently these topics are now off limits.

The mainstreaming of white ethnonationalism (aka racism) in the UK was, of course, wholly unrelated to the racist bilge Fraser Nelson published in the Spectator during his 15 years as editor.

In every single interview I’ve done with international media since Trump took power I’ve been asked: Why are there no mass protests? There are many reasons, of course, but the utter refusal of the self-proclaimed “fourth estate” to communicate clearly what is happening has to be high on the list.

I'm not having Fraser Nelson playing dumb on the rise of racism on the right after years spent printing Murray, Liddle, Taki and Shriver. I literally had a DM row with him years ago where I said this would happen.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...
