Exactly one year ago I went to Copenhagen. I wrote about the fallout from Trump's first phone call with the Danish prime minister. Danes have been preparing for this crisis for a year.

Nadim Zahawi arrived in the UK from Iraq as a child refugee. His family claimed asylum once they were here. Today he has joined Reform who will stop all in country asylum applications. Under his new party, his own family fleeing persecution would be immediately deported.

Very unlikely that the UK would ban X, given its weak response so far. But this simping for tech bros is just embarrassing. Musk has been joking about the nudification, and if he's so brilliant, why isn't it fixed yet?
