Aged British centrist. Ex engineer, but not wholly philistine. Would be nice to think that the World will survive despite our constant attempts to beef up entropy.

No other president I can remember ever needed to announce a mass pardon for his cabinet & staff. Because they didn't need it.

Even if Magyar is no liberal, this is why it is still a huge defeat for illiberalism. For it shows that a powerful illiberal political machine and methodology can be defeated.

Yes, an incoming illiberal and radical UK government would have absolute constitutional power
Only good fortune has prevented previous governments from misusing our constitutional arrangements more than they did

The Palestine Action judgment does not yet have legal effect, as no Order has been made and it looks like an appeal will be made. That said, there is no barrier to the police dropping the charges already made after the mass arrests. That is a separate and distinct decision.

Labour fluked the last election, its prospects for the next one are dire. If the bright young things at Labour HQ don't wake up and explore a pact with non Reform parties Farage will be PM in 2029.

Should Gibb be sacked? yes, obviously. He's an abomination of basic journalistic standards. His GB News channel spreads conspiracy theory & disinformation. His Jewish Chronicle newspaper spreads invented stories. He is plainly trying to undermine the BBC so it's as bad as everything else he touches.
