Farage is talking bollocks again. But now @ed-miliband.bsky.social is calling him out. There is no politician more geekishly knowledgeable about our energy system than Ed. We need geeks like him to keep the lights on, not Trumpist blowhards like Farage www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Michael Gove, editor of The Spectator has railed against Lab increasing poverty saying "If a Conservative Govt of which I was part had set out on such a course, I would have resigned." The same Gove who sat silently in the Cameron Govt for six years of Osborne's austerity. #PrivateEye

Today is the 36th anniversary of Hillsborough. Caused by fatal police decisions on the day 'The Sun' & police disgracefully blamed Liverpool fans. It took 'The Sun' 23 years to offer an apology & to this day NO ONE has been properly held to account for the deaths.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Imagine negotiating with Putin and then coming out and telling everyone what bastards the Canadians are. Imagine having a brain so broken that this sequence of events is even thinkable.
