Morals aside, how is it remotely possible that Shadow Attorney General — and a serving member of the UK legislature, of any political affiliation — can lawfully take on work representing a Russian oligarch sanctioned by the UK government?
The Tories’ Shadow Attorney General, Lord Wolfson, is representing Roman Abramovich in a legal case that is delaying the transfer of £2.5bn of assets to benefit the people of Ukraine.

A nice thread in which an actual expert patiently explains why the Secretary of Health and Human Service is not simply a liar, but an especially stupid one.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy

MAGA like to say there's no evidence implicating Trump in sexual crimes with Epstein. That's a lie. There is direct evidence, like this affidavit from a civil case that was dismissed when the girl got death threats against her.
Trump can attack the credibility of the accusations, but they exist.

The really dumb thing about the immigration debate is that the post-2022 surge was mostly explicable by post-Covid demand (eg overseas students), need to ensure health and care functioned as we came out of the pandemic and global factors, Russia/China. It needed careful management. Instead, panic.

The UK will celebrate net emigration and depopulation come 2027.
And by 2028 it will start to realise, with an ageing society and low growth, what a really silly thing it has done.
The right will go "pro-natalist", the centre-left will be completely stuck.
