The Senate adopted a resolution directing President Donald Trump to remove military forces from the conflict with Iran, a significant rebuke to the president and a strong message that the war lacks support in Congress. https://cnn.it/4agHI7N

Cutting business rates for hospitality saves money as helps them grow and so generate more wealth - so too investing in disabled people through future job subsidies and supporting those with caring responsibilities with more flexible work and childcare also pays off. Invest to save is way forward.

Still reflecting on this video. I think it implies that the average American cannot understand written satire, can’t spot internal contradictions, and doesn’t question an author’s motivations. Can that be true? Could explain a lot.
this is the most useful short-form video i've ever seen

Chatted to my great uncle yesterday – a northern, working-class guy, not that political. I told him my job involved exposing Farage.
His first question was: “who funds him?”
Investigations into Farage’s donors can have a major impact on Reform’s support – as this research has already shown 👇

There seems to be some *confusion*
among Reform supporters over Nathan Gill being one of them
“But, but, Reform didn’t exist when he took his Russian bribes”
“But, but he was in UKIP”
“But, but it has nothing to do with Farage, he barely knew the guy”
So here’s a little history lesson 👍🏼🧵

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Trump has not threatened to invade us unlike Canada which justifies Carney’s tough line. Also we still have a war in Europe in which we are hoping Trump will carry on supporting Ukraine.

This is not what he said and they know it. Something very disturbing has happened to much of the British press and a fair amount of conservative politics. The extremist Musk tail wagging the formerly mainstream dog.
