US Justice Dept and Reform donor Ben Delo. Pled guilty to violating the Bank Secrecy Act. Built a company designed to flout US law; willfully failed to implement and maintain even basic anti-money laundering policies. $10 million criminal fine. 30 months of probation, waived by Trump.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

For all the other disgraceful things about Reform’s leadership I still find this shocking. A man hurls abuse at a politician. Rather than defending her right to speak, Farage offered to buy him a pint and Yusuf to make him a peer. The descent is accelerating. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

What Starmer doesn't get is you don't get to take a day off when it comes to fighting back against the hard right - or weeks/months in his case. Today No 10 should be saying 'we don't revoke citizenship for being vile online'. Instead, silence. Waiting to see how the wind blows. It's cowardice

Protest is sometimes the only way we can be heard – especially when speaking out on what's happening in Gaza and the West Bank. If passed, this decision would have serious consequences for protest everywhere. It must be stopped.

There are two groups of people in Britain. 1: Those who think Labour is racist. 2: Those who think Labour isn't racist ENOUGH. The Goldilocks demographic who think Starmer's got it just right is vanishingly small. Aside from the morality of his rhetoric, even as a *strategy* that looks catastrophic.

Keir Starmer denies pushing anti-migrant policies in order to chase Reform, saying that "I'm doing this because it is right, because it is fair and because it is what I believe". A reminder of what he said he believed when he was running for Labour leader.

Incredibly depressing day. I've spent my entire life being told by British governments how dreadful immigration is. New Labour did it. The Coalition. The Brexiters. Now Starmer. All of them accusing the ones who came before them of failing to clamp down. The same old vacant mean-spirited bollocks.

The Prime Minister imitating Enoch Powell’s ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech is sickening. That speech fuelled decades of racism and division. Echoing it today is a disgrace. It adds to anti-migrant rhetoric that puts lives at risk. Shame on you, Keir Starmer.

I prefer my version, Elon.
A tweet by Elon Musk with the trolleycar Meme. Zelensky (spelled wrong) is depicted as holding a lever that could stop the tram from killing people. 

The caption reads, "You can stop the tram at any moment, but you refuse because you need guarantees that it won't start moving again in a few years". A remake of the same meme, except not it's Putin at the Lever and the caption reads, "It's your tram and you can stop it at any time, but you refuse because you're confident the US government is coming to help push."
