Tice talking about the abuse of women MPs, but I don't recall him condemning the appalling physical abuse of a female protester at ReformUK's party conference. 'Robust debate' is not calling someone a 'traitor' in my book. ReformUK milking this for sympathy and trying to have their cake and eat it.

Xi Jinping invoked the “Thucydides Trap” right to Trump’s face, a reference to the clash between a rising power and a declining one. The message Xi was sending was unmistakable: China is the ascending power. America is declining. This is at least the second time Xi has raised this in front of Trump.

Screenshot of page 8 of a September 24, 2026 federal court order signed by U.S. District Judge Timothy J. Kelly. The order grants the plaintiffs’ motion for a temporary restraining order and directs White House officials, excluding President Trump, to immediately restore the “hard pass” press credentials of employees of CNN, MS NOW, and POLITICO that were revoked around September 18, 2026. The temporary restraining order remains in effect for 14 days. The plaintiffs are also ordered to post a $1 bond by October 1, 2026. The page ends with “SO ORDERED,” Judge Kelly’s signature, title, and the date September 24, 2026.
