To see how American journalists can survive Trump's autocratic onslaught, I collected advice from people with extensive, first-hand expertise: reporters in India.

The OBR is run independently from Government. It literally was somebody else's fault.

You'd think Kemi Badenoch would know that given her own party created it in Government, but apparently not

This play. This passage. Simply the best ever – or at lesst most succinct – defence and justification for the very idea of Civilisation ever written.

This is why we’re here. Because of what this means. And because someone can put it into words like this.

It was only the #WASPI legal action which brought the correct evidence to the DWP Secretary of State’s attention and forced him to reconsider the decision not to award compensation. Thank you to everyone who contributed to our legal fund to enable this to happen. #NotGoingAway

Not only did Brexit not provide any extra money for the NHS - as liar-in-chief Boris Johnson promised - but Brexit is impoverishing the UK each year by an amount of money not far off the annual NHS budget.

Thanks Farage.

This is Turnip's plan! His Reichstag fire - flood the country with his personal army; create a horrifying diversion; invoke the Insurrection Act - and voila: a dictator for life. 1932 = last election in Germany for 12+ years.

God he's Jimmy from the MST3k "I Accuse My Parents":

"So I said to Roosevelt and Churchill, what about some sort of lend-lease deal?"
Trump during his Thanksgiving call with service members: "We're ordered a lot of Coast Guard cutters. Brand new, beautiful, the best machines in the world. I'm a looks person. I wanted the hull to be perfect. You know, I sort of redesigned the hull a little bit. The hulls. But we ordered a lot."

Continually amazed that someone who's been in public life as long as Trump has lacks the capacity to say anything appropriate when someone has died.
Q: Do you plan to attend Sarah's funeral?

TRUMP: I haven't thought about it yet, but it's certainly something I can conceive of. I love West Virginia. You know, I won West Virginia by one of the biggest margins of any president anywhere.

Trump's speech about the shooting in DC veered into him attacking the Somali community in Minnesota, which of course had nothing to do with the shooting. Gives away his bigoted game.

With DC shooter now identified as an Afghan national not the antifa secret agent White House hoped for a good time to remember the Trump admin has gutted domestic anti-terrorism capacity and reassigned many to finding grandmothers to arrest at immigration hearings.

Yes.

And then also fired a ton of senior agents with a ton of counterterrorism experience, including the Acting Director.
Didn’t the FBi pull a lot of personnel from anti terrorism to put them on deportations?

Actually the whole security establishment pivoted
