Hello, median voter theorem in ageing societies, my old friend …

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

trump is rapidly becoming a lame duck President.

His name has already been removed from the Kennedy Center.

And his name will be removed from everything in due time.

He will go down as the worst President in American history with very little permanent changes he can point to.

Why should people of working age have a lower personal allowance than pensioners? Age related allowances were abolished in the 2012 Budget and - even though it provoked a row about ‘the granny tax’ - we stuck to it. They’re unfair, expensive & create additional tax complexity.

We live not only in a time of monsters, but one of deep hypocrisy

Buttigieg: We sit in a in a country that's got the wrong number of people on the Supreme Court, possibly the wrong number of representatives in the House of Representatives. And by the way, when you consider the disenfranchisement of the people of DC, we have the wrong number of states in the United States

[Acyn @Acyn]

Buttigieg: Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that there have to be nine Supreme Court justices. That one doesn't even take a constitutional amendment. It just takes a readiness to set up a court that fits this country. 

We could have 13 seats matching the district structure of the federal judiciary, but also a process that makes it less partisan. We cannot have partisan warfare every time there's an opening on the court

Reminder that Greece went through Great Depression conditions to protect French and German banks.

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

There are only 8 Reform MPs and they have a combined wealth of over £70,000,000.

They have consistently voted against every single improvement to workers rights and plan to scrap legal protections left right and centre.

They are funded by the bosses to rip up your rights.

Let's be honest with ourselves but the BBC did much of the heavy lifting to normalise Nigel Farage and his racism.

[Joseph Gellman @joseph_gellman]

POV: It’s February 2027 and you go to take a look at Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s approval ratings

One more change of PM ought to do it

[David Gauke @DavidGauke]

Of all the demands for additional public spending, this is surely one of the least deserving. If he’s caving in on this, God help us.

Vcs já pararam pra pensar que o atleta negro americano Jesse Owens entrou mais fácil na Alemanha Nazista para disputar as Olimpíadas de 1936 do que o atacante iraquiano Aymen Hussein para disputar a Copa de 2026 nos EUA?

ISIS (Rightfully) is viewed as satan's spawn for doing to historic cities what Israel considers a light weekday

[Ben Rhodes @brhodes]

Why is it controversial for Zohran to skip a parade bc of his principles but not for Democratic politicians to march with a fascist bigot like Smotrich?

[Furkan Gözükara @FurkanGozukara]

Sky News completely destroys the Zionist regime's primary excuse for bombing Lebanon. The reporter confirms there is absolutely zero evidence of military activity in the civilian homes Israel is obliterating.

Washington is funding pure state terrorism!

Insider trading is just allowed now I guess

[Robert Faturechi @RobertFaturechi]

New: A top White House aide intervened to get a $620 million Pentagon loan for a company tied to Donald Trump Jr.

“The call came from the White House: We have to get this done,” said one person involved.

Just the planning application alone for Heathrow's third runway will cost £800 million.

It cost less than half that, £330m inflation adjusted, to actually build Manchester's Runway 2, which is the most recent runway built in the UK.

We need to make it easier to build
