Labour, Tories, Lib Dems and Greens: I demand you stand down in Clacton. I will be a unity candidate and pledge to build at least one affordable house.
Nigel Farage says he wants The People versus the Establishment. So be it.
Leave him to me.
This should have been 9-0. Shame on justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch for not voting with the majority in this case.
If you are born here, you're a citizen. Plain and simple.
I don’t speak for any party, but what I can say is that demanding that the United States adhere to the rule of law, which includes following the pretty ancient rule of the sea not to kill shipwrecked people in cold blood, is not “defending narco-terrorists.”
“Even if the U.S. were at war with the traffickers, an order to kill all the boat’s occupants if they were no longer able to fight would in essence be an order to show no quarter, which would be a war crime.” https://t.co/NUsyOWRRqa
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing
"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

There is still a very strong possibility that Mr. Abrego Garcia's criminal case ends with the prosecution quashed because it was so obviously only brought to save face and to punish him for making the administration look bad through asserting his rights in court.
And now, the reality:
- Cambodia and Thailand: it was a border conflict that ended thanks to mediation by Malaysia. All Trump did was a phone call threatening tariffs.
- Kosovo and Serbia: there was no war
- DRC and Rwanda: war did not end, violence continues
- Pakistan and India: India is adamant there was no US mediation
- Israel and Iran: the US was literally a belligerent (remember the US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities?)
- Egypt and Ethiopia: there was no war
- Armenia and Azerbaijan: the "peace deal" hasn't actually been signed
- Israel and Hamas: beyond obscene for the US to take credit for ending a genocide it was the key enabler of
If you're the Qatari royal family worth $335 billion, Trump gives you an Air Force facility in Idaho.
If you're the President of Argentina, Trump gives you a $20 billion bailout.
If you're an American whose health care premiums are about to double? Tough luck.
I warned all of last year that Trump would follow Modi and Orban and use the IRS to go after his opponents. And here he is doing exactly that.
The irony is that the people who made false allegations against Obama and Biden for using the IRS politically are now actually doing it. Every accusation is a confession for the GOP.
Jack Smith: “Nothing like what we see now has ever gone on. This case in New York City where the case against the mayor was dismissed in the hopes that he would support the president’s political agenda? Just so you know, nothing like it has ever happened that I’ve ever heard of.”
Mamdani: "Andrew Cuomo is gonna say a lot of things tomorrow night on the debate stage. And frankly, I wish it was more like Nascar so New Yorkers could see the billionaires that were sponsoring him right on his suit jacket. He watches Fox News as well. So I'll just speak to him directly ... "
