After President Biden assailed the Supreme Court's affirmative action decision on Thursday, a reporter asked if he thought the high court was now "rogue." Biden took a long pause before responding. "This is not a normal court," he said. Watch his remarks. https://t.co/nG2wJVu5pa

Johnson wasn't a popular leader in 2019. He was less popular at every point of his triumphant campaign than Theresa May was at the equivalent point during her 2017 humiliation

Boris Johnson won’t be back, writes @AndrewMarr9.

Breaking News: Boris Johnson resigned his parliamentary seat in Britain after receiving a confidential report on whether he had lied about lockdown-breaking parties during the Covid-19 pandemic. https://t.co/EmZhg0BhAy

PS earlier today, I was told by well-placed MP that the privileges committee was going to recommend Johnson be suspended for more than 10 days. So there would have been a by-election in Johnson’s seat in any case. As he admits, he jumped before being pushed by parliament

If Labour does win the next general election, then mayors such as Andy Burnham could act as a ballast to a tightly run Westminster operation, writes @freddiejh8. https://t.co/TWqn9j6lqV

When we frame jobs as passions or callings, it obscures the fact that jobs are, first and foremost, economic contracts.

it's key to remember that this was *actually built*. there is a link from the channel tunnel to the west coast mainline. British Rail invested £140m before it was privatised. the trains were built! but services never ran because operators didn't consider them commercially viable

So far @UKLabour have pledged to:

- End all new oil & gas drilling
- Bring in a Scottish-style right to roam
- Invest £28bn/ year in climate jobs
- Let councils buy land cheaply to tackle housing crisis
- Bring in a Community Right to Buy

Sounds pretty transformational to me...
