If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

XLook at the words. supporting the government is consistent with the belief that the best way to do so is to be the PM. 'Supporting SKS as PM' are the words that have not been said.

Anyone who believes this shouldn’t be trusted with a spoon, let alone anything else.
(Burnham’s mere presence in the Commons destabilises the government. That’s why he wants to be in the Commons!)

Will this promise from Andy Burnham be enough for Starmer loyalists on Labour’s ruling NEC to let him stand in the Gorton and Denton by-election?
Burnham: “I would be there to support the work of the Government, not undermine it, and I have passed on this assurance to the Prime Minister”

PB is going to be offline for the next hour or so as I delete every thread I've written saying Andy Burnham won't succeed Sir Keir Starmer.At least you had the prescience to include the question in the PB Competition: 9. Will Andy Burnham will be an MP on 31st December 2026?
As a recap for those who missed it, to enter the competition this year: post your answers the the following questions with the tag #competition or PM me you answers before the end of January 2026:

3. Number of MSPs won by the SNP at the Holyrood election?
4. Number of AMs won by Plaid Cymru at the Senedd election?

How does shooting a non-immigrant US citizen on the ground help enforce immigration law?There’s a second video of the new shooting, again clearly showing the man had both hands on the ground when shot. But @Sandpit says it’s Tim Walz’s fault.So why do 49 states enforce immigration law, while Minnesota encourages a civil war?
Why are you so incapable of pulling yourself away from Trump after everything he has done?

The government's stated rationale for this killing is that the victim was carrying a legal firearm.Yeah what is their argument here?
The very people that told us we need to accept mass child slaughter for the right to protect ourselves from scary Obama, now say the govt can kill you if you possess a weapon.

In the videos he was never threatening. He never reached for his gun. He had already been pepper sprayed and tackled to the ground by several ICE agents for being in their general vicinity before they decided to murder him.
By the logic of him being killed, the police could justly kill any person in American carrying a firearm legally. Which, for better or for worse, is a lot of people.
