More headaches for Rupert Murdoch. The Met are asking for transcripts of the pre-trial hearings in Prince Harry’s & Lord Watson’s phone-tapping case. Their counsel says the Murdoch group’s disclosures offer grounds for a fresh police investigation into ‘perjury and cover-ups’.
Just hour before Donald Trump takes office, Donald Trump Jr. has launched an attack on Volodymyr Zelensky for not attending the inauguration as Ukraine continues to be invaded by Russia.
RETWEET if you stand with President Zelensky against Trump!
@HLTCO Who were the Palace players closest to Mateta as he buried the ball in the net? Munoz and Mitchell. This seems to be OG's signature tactical innovation, and I'm all for it.
@afneil Strictly is one of the few shared cultural moments left in this country. 30 or so years ago there would be daily water cooler conversations about the soaps and the Sunday tea-time serial. That media fragmentation feeds our niche communities with little we can all relate to.
@robpw97@Hepworthclare Not from where I sit! They were afforded respect and kid glove handling that they had not earned. And they pushed so much business in the direction of their own.
I absolutely believe politicians -of whatever stripe & particularly those in Government should be questioned, challenged & held to account.
But listening to KS being interrogated- I am struck at how hostile the media continue to be in their relentless search for a *gotcha*moment.
The Special Counsel’s 1/6 Report, made public last night, confirms the unavoidable facts of 1/6 yet again. DOJ’s exhaustive and independent investigation reached the same essential conclusions as the Select Committee. All this DOJ evidence must be preserved. But most important now, as the Senate considers confirming Trump’s Justice Department nominees: if those nominees cooperated with Trump’s deceit to overturn the 2020 election, they cannot now be entrusted with the responsibility to preserve the rule of law and protect our Republic. As our framers knew, our institutions only hold when those in office are not compromised by personal loyalty to a tyrant. So this question is now paramount for Republicans: Will you faithfully perform the duties the framers assigned to you and do what the Constitution requires? Or do you lack the courage?
@CalltoActivism Perhaps Trump will nominate her for Secretary of Defence after his first pick drops out after his appearance at the Senate Committee today? It would be as whacky as the rest of his nominees.
