Let’s get this straight, this is to protect their own necks. They’re going to try and slowly steer the tanker of public opinion because the calls for wealth and asset taxation are *very* loud right now.

Through his life and extraordinary talent, the immigrant and refugee child Tomáš Sträussler who became known to us all as Tom Stoppard made British theatre and this country a better place to be.
You might even argue that he helped redefine Englishness through his astonishing legacy of work.

He's clocked the fact that he may be charged with murder, or similar, in 3 years time, unless Trump issues him a pardon. He'd better not fall out with Trump in the meantime. So he really is Trump's bitch now, even if he wasn't before.

Am I getting this right: Glasman wants to close half of universities & turn them into army training colleges so he can build a massive army to ally with Ukraine against the EU?! Why is anyone taking this maniac seriously? How the hell does he have any influence on Labour at all?
Not sure - 14 years into project - Blue Labour ever previously set out actual proposals before, so this is new
1. Abolish Treasury
2. Leave ECHR
3. Closr/refound half of unis
4. Double army size for anti-EU alliance with Ukraine
5. PM to lead grooming inquiry with arrest powers + televised trials

Sorry, but you don’t get to drone strike vessels and double tap the survivors in international waters and then pretend you care about military law.
The Pentagon announced Monday it is investigating Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona over possible breaches of military law after the former Navy pilot joined a handful of other lawmakers in a video that called for troops to defy "illegal orders."
