More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.

Trump has to be impeached or voted out somehow. Come on Republicans, it's up to you now, stand up for your country or let the USA descend into fascism.

The Government is planning to send King Charles to the US to celebrate with Trump. Giving him a royal visit right now sends a terrible message that his behaviour is acceptable. We can stop this if enough of us speak up. Will you add your name to the petition? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...

People have been trying to talk London down, but the evidence tells a different story.
Last year saw:
The lowest murder rate per capita since records began

One of the lowest numbers of homicides for almost three decades

Asked why a party that says the Tories are terrible keeps hiring so many of them, the ex-Tory herself had a rock-solid response:

I would really caution anyone against implying that paywalling this feature is a legitimate response to public outcry. The paywall is an endorsement, not a restriction. Musk is saying "this thing you're all talking about is valuable. Pay me for it." The actual material effect is just monetization.
