🚨 BREAKING: The official U.S. government website has quietly removed Sections 9 and 10 of Article I from the Constitution.
Let me say that again:
They didn’t amend the Constitution.
They didn’t debate it in Congress.
They just erased two of the most protective sections; the ones that deal with habeas corpus, limits on federal power, and Congress’s sole authority to set tariffs.

Former head of the army, Lord Dannatt, urged ministers to crack down on Palestine Action at the request of a US arms manufacturer that paid him as an advisor. In 2022, he wrote to two Home Office ministers after PA activists attacked a Teledyne factory — reports The Guardian.

Brexit isn’t working, and the British people know it. They're fed up with the damage caused by the deal forced on us by Conservative party.
Keir Starmer must show some courage and set Britain on a clear path to a new customs union with the EU by 2030.
ALT The Guardian opinion headline reads: “Brexit has been a resounding disaster. Starmer must find the courage to change course” by Ed Davey.

After 10 weeks of being in Europe I learned everyone…Italians, Germans, Danes, French etc are all afraid to even visit the States. They all really think they’re going to be deported the minute they land.

Help Identify This Scumbag.
The guy in the pink shorts watched as his two young sons chased a mother sheep over a cliff near Porth Joke today. When a couple of passers-by objected, he threatened to throw them over the cliff too.
Nice chap, bears the legend "Made in England 1989" on the back of his neck. He was seen later outside Trevornick Holiday Park.
It was reported to the farmer, local community FB group and police.

The Liberal Democrats welcome this first step but urge Keir Starmer to go further and recognise Palestine immediately.
Far greater action is needed to address the humanitarian disaster in Gaza, including fully ceasing arms sales and imposing sanctions on the Israeli cabinet.
ALT Statement from Ed Davey: Recognition of the state of Palestine should not be used as a bargaining chip. It should have happened months ago. We also need far greater action to stop the humanitarian disaster in Gaza, including fully ceasing arms sales and implementing sanctions against the Israeli cabinet.

For the love of God, @BBCr4today , the EU will NOT pay a 15% tax. US consumers will.

Thatcher literally sold off as many public assets she could to pay for tax cuts for the rich. All those assets are now in the hands of foreign owned companies and foreign governments while British taxpayers keep bailing them out.

Today I relinquish my role as leader of @LibDems in the #HouseofLords. Challenging but rewarding work especially at times when we had limited numbers of MP's . Delighted that Jeremy Purvis @PurvisTweed will now pick up the baton. @LibDemLords @EdwardJDavey

Today Ofsted has judged TWO children's homes run by the same company inadequate, with serious and widespread failures that mean children and young people are not protected. Take a bow, Dimensions Care Limited

"£104bn of water industry investment will come from bill payers, environment secretary concedes."
And there we finally have it, there is no "£104 billion of private sector investment". Question is how long has the SoS known this and why has he kept repeating that myth?
Well done @SamCoatesSky for getting to the truth.

The UK needs to stop all arms exports to the Israeli Government - today.
ALT Mass starvation in Gaza and over 1,000 Palestinians killed while seeking aid since May. The government says the situation is intolerable yet they continue to tolerate it. The UK needs to stop all arms exports to the Israeli Government - today.

We need to make sure that persistent sewage dumpers can be held criminally responsible and introduce a new regulatory with real powers.

David Lammy must realise that we’re past the point of threatening sanctions.
Every day the Government sits on its hands, more innocent civilians are being killed in Gaza while over a million are at risk of starvation.
Sanctions are needed now, including against Netanyahu.
Frances Kneller💛 retweeted
The world is looking on in horror as Netanyahu's Government plots to lock Gaza's entire population into effectively a giant prison.
The Prime Minister should make it clear that the UK won't stand idly by, starting by sanctioning Netanyahu himself.

If the only way you'll ever hear someone call out Nigel Farage's destructive, divisive politics on the BBC is for me to do it, then so be it.

Violent crime in Baltimore has PLUMMETED to historic lows
How did the city do it?
Baltimore adopted a comprehensive set of "woke" policies, treating violence as a public health issue

Spot on. And not just the Beeb - @Nigel_Farage gets a very easy ride because he is treated as fellow commentator and fellow mainstream media critic of main parties. Never gets challenged on his Brexit role. Rarely on actual policy. Well said @EdwardJDavey

I am impressed (and touched) by the how many are speaking out in defense of my work. Standing united against abuse is critical, and even more critical is to stop the genocide.
TOGETHER WE CAN.
