First: the decision to livestream the execution wasn't Trump's idea; it was Hegseth's. Second: livestreaming his execution is not holding him accountable.

Easily explained: he's only 'personally against the death penalty' in the abstract.

I don't blame them either. But I don't think that mocking MAGA women is the right response. Michelle Obama's broader point was 'don't chase them into the gutter.'

'Some liberals' need to check themselves then. 'When they go low, we go high.'

I know what's happened here. Melania only communicates with him via text messages, and he misread the word 'cur'.

I'd understand if this oil deal were going to massively reduce the price of diesel in the US - throw principles out of the window to win in the midterms. But - the initial 300k tonnes equals less than 2% of US diesel consumption. In other words, the deal will have no effect on diesel prices.

I'd agree with you if this were an attack on extreme cosmetic surgery.

Is it 'politically liberal' to shame women for their appearance?

Susan Dell. This public shaming of a newly discovered female victim should be seen for what it is: yet another dreary example of misogyny.

Herr Hitler wants peace. Churchill, Stalin and Roosevelt should have stopped this war in 1941.

This public shaming of a newly discovered victim - Susan Dell - should be seen for what it is: yet another dreary example of misogyny.

Can you point me to an instance where the BBC has called for Polanski to resign, as distinct from reporting that some members of his own party want him to resign?

'Burnham's Britain'? He's been prime minister for less than three months.

It's an obvious response - but how would Trump react if another world leader said publicly that it was time for him to resign?

So, by actual definition, not giving Trump a Nobel is equivalent to being an enemy of civilisation.

It's a little known fact, but Adolf Hitler desperately wanted to win the Nobel Peace Prize, and thought he should because he ended the wars against Poland, Ukraine, France, Belgium, the Netherlands and the Baltic states.

He's really pinning his aspirations on his record in the Gaza conflict and in the Russia-Ukraine war? Really?

Just a thought, but was this the hand that used to grab women by the pussy?

When he talks about a three-day workweek - he means three days' pay for three days' work. When he talks about a one-income family, he means that families should be in poverty.

The only party aping Corbyn's Labour party is Polanski's Greens. Hardly surprising; it's where most Corbynistas have relocated.

Violence as spectacle. The only practical effect of this appalling decision will be to encourage more performative violence from people who already live in a death cult. It certainly won't deter them.

Hegseth's decision to return to mediaeval execution methods will ensure that Hasan becomes an instant worldwide martyr for the Islamist cause. Far from deterring other Islamist killers, it will encourage more violence from people who already live in a death cult.

Authoritarians control the language people speak. This fact was explained George Orwell.

Progressives like to forget the fact that at the beginning of the twentieth century the Palestinians were implacably hostile to Jews settling anywhere in the region. In origin, their objection was partly an anti-immigration stance.

This - word for word - could have been a statement from the Corbyn leadership.

He could have salvaged something from this self-inflicted wound if he had come out straightaway and declared his opposition.

Student politics. In fact, even when I was a student I would have seen the obvious downside to this piece of idiocy.

I'd forgotten what a brilliant writer Foot was. Thank you for posting this Keith.
