With all respect to the BBC, the reason this story "matters" is not about whether it distracts from Reform's conference. It "matters" because it is important our leaders are not conspiring to break the law.

I am confused. I thought when Josh Simons quit as an MP to call an unnecessary by-election it was a huge waste of taxpayer funds and an insult to voters?

The cold light of day thought on UK election results is the near impossibility of sensible democratic politics in the social media age. A global phenomenon which is systematically under played by nearly everyone but because every more obvious.

The Trump/Musk/Rubio gutting of USAID is the defining moral atrocity of this regime (so far)
Dr. Binyam Gebru, Save the Children’s director in Somalia, and his colleagues had to make agonizing choices after the U.S.A.I.D. grant they had received for the past eight years, which averaged about $15 million a year, was not renewed. In Baidoa the organization ran a feeding program that delivered fortified food to all the children and pregnant and breastfeeding women in the vast camps of displaced people that surround the town. Either the community feeding program or the emergency centers would have to shut down.
