Only the Senate can approve an act of war such as a lethally enforced air blockade.

This is outrageous behaviour.

Trump tells airlines Venezuelan airspace should be considered closed
The US cannot legally close another country's airspace, but Trump's comments could deter airlines from operating in Venezuela.

So many existing oil + gas licenses, pipelines, wells are sited in Marine 'Protected' Areas, as shown on our Watershed Pollution Map. The pollution risks + risks to wildlife if existing licences are expanded are likely to be huge:

Trump claims “any document” signed by Joe Biden is “hereby terminated.”

He calls out executive orders later but obviously “any document” would be much broader and include legislation.

(He can’t legally do that but, as always, we get to watch how far he can push this without repercussions)

Spending on Privatisation now makes up around 10% of the NHS budget, but they only do about 4% of the work.

More Privatisation is apparently the solution, presumably so in the end they get 100% of the money and do 40% of the work.

This would be a war crime even if there were an actual war and these people were actual combatants, which there isn't and they weren't.

It's unquestionably an unlawful homicide under any form of law you wish to apply: military or civilian, domestic or international, federal or state. ...
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing

Exactly right - a shame we don't listen to the actual experts who understand immigration and the economy.
Today's migration stats illustrate the migration doom loop in action...

Budget docs reveal that the new international student levy will be ***£925 per student per year of study*** starting in August 2028 academic year 2028-29

A win for Treasury that wanted to opt for this option (and for research universities who will see a smaller impact)
We knew it was coming, but introduction of the controversial international student levy definitely confirmed by OBR, we await more details on what this will look like...

💷 In the last 5 years, NHS trusts spent £3.1bn through PFI contracts:£1.2bn in debt + £1.8bn in interest.

That £1.8bn could fund 50,000 new doctors’ starting salaries, or cover £2.7bn in urgent NHS repairs.

💔 Every pound spent on PFI debt is a pound not spent on NHS, staff or patients.

Kristi Noem is guilty of crimes against humanity and needs to face justice.

📌 She made the final call to defy a court order to halt deportation flights, sending people into the hellscape of CECOT, a place the UN has compared to a torture chamber.

Prosecute her and everyone involved.
