Sen Bernie Sanders (I-VA) just now on CNN: "We have a President moving this country rapidly into authoritarianism. He's suing media who criticize him. He's going after law firms that have clients who were against him. He's suing universities who teach courses he doesn't like"

Off to Montreal today - Canada has always been my preferred part of North America but for “some reason” it is especially a better option at the moment!

Got round to reading Farage two page “manifesto” in yesterday’s Mail. Populist slogans/unfunded promises strung together in a piece designed to portray 🇬🇧 as third world. But how about this for nerve from Mr Brexit? “The casual lies and careless attitudes of our political class have let people down”.

What is Keir Starmer uses the terrible tariff situation from Trump as a vehicle to “force” him to consider rejoining the EU single market out of necessity? Might give him enough of an excuse to bat aside any hard line Brexitiers?

Breaking: RFK Jr. has forced out PETER MARKS, the nation’s top vaccine regulator. In his resignation letter, obtained by the Post, Marks said he was willing to work with RFK Jr on his vaccine concerns — but said Kennedy wishes “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”

Watched Mrs Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children yesterday and I was pleasantly surprised. I’m not sure why this films gets so much bad press but perhaps because it’s so different from the books? Regardless, it was a pleasant watch but perhaps a bit too dark for very young children.

Watched It Ends With Us last night - despite the controversy - it was a surprisingly real exploration of domestic abuse for a Hollywood film. More ambiguous than the book, if nothing else, leaves you as the viewer unsure how it will end.

Watched Infinity Loop last night and while I can appreciate what the director was going for in terms of identity, overall it wasn’t worth two hours of trauma to get there!

I know it’s early days for a lot of us on Bluesky having moved over from X but it’ll feel a lot more natural once the posts about how much better it is here than on X because we’ve “let go” of X altogether!

Your regular reminder that the vast, vast majority of migrants to the UK do not, in fact, have access to benefits and this is very clearly stated on BRPs as “no recourse to public funds”.
Kemi Badenoch: Tories could strip migrants of access to benefits
The new leader also suggested the party would review Britain's membership of the
ECHR and look at a migrant cap

In 2023 BBC News reported that Brexit is the reason why the Vauxhall plant may close down costing 1,500 jobs In 2024, there's little mention of Brexit being the reason why it's closing down. Why?
