Surely he has to resign again to let the people of Clacton prejudge the resukt of the police investigation? It’s much more serious than the investigation he resigned over last time…

Clearing unexploded bombs from Gaza will take decades—once the work is allowed to begin. Israel isn’t allowing mine clearance groups to remove the explosives that litter the strip.

Trump offers a bribe of $5,000 in exchange for votes, the bribe is promoted as a dividend and would cost $1.2 trillion dollars. This is a felony under 18 U.S.C. § 597, bribing someone to vote a certain way is a federal crime punishable by prison.

There have been so many impeachable offenses, but lying about how you were a hero on a day that 2,753 people died in NYC in the 9/11 disaster—when you were on the other side of town, safely calling local media to brag about how you now had the tallest downtown building—is such a despicable one

"Open borders destroy trust" is just unthinking cliches The asylum chaos does not result from open borders. It results from a botched fantasy ban on asylum claims - to assert control + closed borders - leading to a 100k backlog + the hotels disaster. Visa rules tightended + numbers down loads

The Italian government cruelly performs this pantomime every time. An NGO ship carrying injured & traumatised survivors is ordered to a distant port out of pure spite. The NGO rightly ignores the order & docks in a nearby port. The NGO ship is impounded and fined. The NGO goes to court and wins.

Stripping support from people seeking safety while continuing to ban most people from working is outrageous. People seeking asylum receive £1.40 a day in hotels, or £7 a day in houses. These poverty-inducing levels of support push people into exploitation and irregular work to survive.

Untrue - the Convention provides both for the possibility that protection might cease to be necessary (ie the cessation clause: refugee status ends if there's a change in circumstances) AND the possibility it might need to be long-term (ie references to facilitating citizenship of the refuge State)

What a devastating week for refugee rights in the UK. Beyond the technical changes-which are mean-hearted & punishing-the absence of courage to reject baseless deterrent & racist rhetoric is deeply dangerous. Asylum rights are everyone's rights. Everything road tested in asylum regimes is expanded.

So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for: - Who takes over; - Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation; - How to defend US bases in the region; - Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and - How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.
