The most generous interpretation of the evidence would seem to be that when ICE agents heard he had a gun they panicked and overreacted, not realising he’d already been safely disarmed. Even given that most generous interpretation it is obvious the Trump Administration is lying about what happened.

Labour’s NEC have voted 8:1 against the possibility of winning future elections.
It’s time for @zackpolanski.bsky.social and the Green Party to fill the void.

You know how the other day Trump made sure everyone knew that “whole” in “whole milk” had a “w” at the start?
I’m wondering if there’s been a similar homonym slip up with “Trump’s Board of Peace”.

@herring1967.bsky.social - I may be completely misremembering, but I remember you interviewing someone on RHLSTP (RHLSTP) Book Club about a book about a functional crime writer. Someone who invented an alias for themselves as a crime writer. They sounded pompous (the character). Something like that?

Are these Wes Streeting rumours being spread simply to scare people out of challenging Starmer’s leadership because it could end up with someone even worse?
I’m mean, seriously, Labour have a big problem, but Wes Streeting is about as far from the solution as you can get.
