All you need to know about where we stand with Trump in a little over five minutes. I can't explain how impressed I am by Simon Marks's analysis.Just excellent! Pitch perfect

Goodness me, only just noticed this.How many u-turns is that now? Has he managed to get anything through? Other than abortion up to delivery day, the abolition of trans, and possibly the annihilation of the Labour party.

Eh? If it wasn't for the King Trump would already have declared himself head of state of Canada. If it wasn't for the British in the War of 1812 Canada would now be part of the REPUBLIC of the USA.@PTylerLordsI am hoping Charles himself will see this - or that the younger generation will and will advise him accordingly. There is currently a small majority infavour of retaining teh Crown in Canada. But if the King is seen to be acting against Canada's interests by visiting Trump then I can see that changing rapidly. And if Canada leads the way I think Australia will rapidly follow.
Liberal Democrats have urged cancelling the King’s state visit to Trump’s USA: as head of our armed services Charles CANNOT be associated with such ignorant insults to British troops!
If Starmer pushes the King to continue with his State visit to the US then he will be responsible for doing huge damage to the monarchy and to Britain.
In any case both Carney and Poilievre are monarchists and welcomed the King on his opening of the Canadian parliament last year. Only the irrelevant NDP and BQ back a Republic.
In Australia Albanese has had to cancel a Republic referendum as Trump demonstrates the type of head of state republics produce and Aussies are back for constitutional monarchy in polls

AG Bondi tells Judge Cannon she has determined Jack Smith's report on the classified documents case is "an internal deliberative communication" that should never be released outside DOJ.

If the Democrats ever retake the presidency, Smith should be AG.

I think there is opportunity for a new social media platform, where dicks can be dicks to one another and we don't have to have our main timelines populated with it.

I saw that earlier today and had a good laugh. All the "ignore intl law" types will now be sticklers for following it.
Surely Mr Process will have to trash the deal, if it really is barred by treaty ?

I repeat myself but Starmer needs to call a Rejoin referendum while Trump is still in office. There's no way Trump is going to be able to STFU for the duration of the campaign and when he opens his mouth he'll win it for Rejoin.
