Except ofc Pogrund. DPP explained to C’tee tonight what happened. They asked DNSA to go further than confines of Tory view of China at relevant time. He refused. They asked him again. He emphasised it’s still no. Gabriel added 2+2 and got 12 - and instead of apologising now insists his sums add up.

If PM had intervened Badenoch would be complaining that the independence of the DPP had been compromised. PM did absolutely the right thing. Case collapsed precisely as he explained - on the Tories watch, because of their failure to update legislation. LoTO should be apologising. Not doubling down.

She should be resigning.

I notice all those brave journalists, Guido alumni, and Tory hacks, who manufactured a scandal - a dangerous one to national security, at that - out of gossip, supposition, and sticky tape, have gone ALL QUIET now the witness statements have been released and are exactly as the PM detailed at PMQs.

So @newsagents.bsky.social who penned this post?
Or do we have to just guess?

Grumpy @grumpybb.bsky.social · 5h

It’s becoming an almost regular occurrence.

It’s pathetic, but there’s history of this recently.

Grumpy @grumpybb.bsky.social · 5h

Let’s take a guess who’s written this little clickbait post??

Grumpy @grumpybb.bsky.social · 5h

It definitely has a hint of nervous/panic smirking to me. And yes, I bloody well hope the clock is ticking for him and the rest.

Hakeem Jeffries posted pictures of two Rep. Members posing with “Young Republicans” who were part of a racist text thread (as reported by Politico).

In response, Mike Davis (well-connected in Trump World & on the Hill) called Jeffries a “house slave” for George Soros - proving Jeffries’ point.
