JD Vance took time this week to explain to the British that the murder of 18-year-old student Henry Nowak was actually about immigration.

Justice Secretary David Lammy apparently rang Vance to set the record straight. “You’re wrong about this,” Lammy told him. Which must have been an uncomfortable conversation for a vice-president who has built an entire political career on being confidently incorrect about things happening in other people’s countries.

Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, England’s football squad was busy preparing for the World Cup in Kansas City, Missouri. Nine people were shot near England’s planned training facility and hotel on Troost Avenue at four in the morning. Police arrived to find a large crowd scattering. A second shooting the same evening, just miles away on Troost Avenue, left two people dead. 

The Kansas City Police were quick to reassure everyone that the incident “did not occur near a World Cup venue or anything else World Cup-related.”  Which is technically true, in the same way that a house fire next door isn’t technically in your living room.

The Americans are hosting a World Cup. They have strong opinions about immigration and British crime statistics. They would just like everyone to ignore the bit where nine people get shot near the visiting team’s hotel before breakfast.

So thrilled and moved to have won the Emmy for Outstanding Historical Documentary last night - deeply grateful to @PBS and @BBC , (Simon Young, history commisooner); WNET and Oxford Films and Television and our brilliant creative team @hugo_macgregor Richard Wilkinson; Jyoti Mehta; Charlotte Sacher, for making this happen - at a time when the truth about the Holocaust in all its enormity, needed more than ever

.@SBarrettBar tends to block lawyers as they are well placed to call out his legal illiteracy. But for those interested in why there is no further retrial in the Manchester Airport case, it has nothing to do with the government, as Barrett alleges, but simply the application of clear legal principle.

@ShakeLS Yes that’s absolutely right. Idiot.

No matter what deal they do, the war has effectively given control of the Strait to Iran.

What a masterclass in incompetence by Trump and his team.

@LordWalney Oh do stop being a prat! 🙄 The risk here is from sex deception. Sex is real & matters. Pandering to gender cult beliefs & men wearing fetish as identity has done enormous harms already 🤬.

Kyiv is under a massive ballistic attack. It is not fun…. My house is shaking all the time.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

The Strait of Hormuz was open and not controlled by Iran before Trump launched his war against Iran.

Can I suggest you start a campaign aimed at men to stop that from happening in men’s toilets. Seems to me that’s a you problem (men) not an us problem (women)

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

If trans women use men’s toilets, they will be subjected to humiliation, abuse and violence.

Anyone with any sense knows this.

Which is why in practice trans women will not use men’s toilets, and will just increasingly be driven out of society.

Data from the Office for National Statistics confirms that Government borrowing was 15% lower (£22.8bn) in FY2025-26 than in FY2024-25, and £3.7bn less than the OBR had forecasted.

Under the leadership of Rachel Reeves and Sir Keir Starmer, Labour are fixing the public finances.

@DeborahMeaden @John8taylor @Ed_Miliband Growth in every quarter and the fastest growing in Q1.

[Richard Sefton @richardosefton]

This isn’t even debatable. Sadly the main reason people hate Starmer is because they’ve been told to.
He hasn’t been perfect but he hasn’t killed thousands of people, or taken us into an illegal war, or wiped billions off our economy etc etc etc

[❤️ Dr Raheela Khalid | Global Affairs @drrkhalid1]

To @Keir_Starmer This is the moment to hold the line, not surrender it. Britain cannot afford political paralysis, manufactured instability, or the slow erosion of public confidence at a time when the world is entering one of the most dangerous and competitive geopolitical crises

This ET decision is quite widely misunderstood, so let's try and clear it up. Short 🧵

There are 4m Muslims in the UK and 66m people who aren’t. We are told that those 4m have overwhelmed the 66 million without the 66 million noticing. Fakest news.

Has anyone in the press picked up what happened in 2019. As @BylineTimes reported, Farage and Johnson colluding with US based Bannon to topple May.

According to Ben Habib, Thailand based Harborne paying Johnson and Farage to stitch up 2019 elections
