‘Jail may be a necessary punishment,’ says the judge in Trump trial, after repeated breaches of gag order

Love this. Peak British

So Trump’s former Attorney General who accused the president of lying about the 2020 election result, of trying to subvert the peaceful transfer of power, and said he would bring chaos to the US if returned to office…..has just come out and endorsed him for November. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Just when Rishi Sunak was thinking this had been one of his better weeks……

The Mick Lynch of the RMT take on Angela Rayner ‘scandal’: she should never have bought the council house…..

RMT General Secretary Mick Lynch says European franchise owners ‘haven’t invested a penny’ into British railways. 🚂

Astonishing. A supreme court justice suggesting unless you give a president immunity he might seize power unlawfully for fear of being prosecuted if he left office - as required by the constitution - after losing an election?? What sort of moral argument is that???

“In Tennessee, Republicans don’t trust teachers to teach about race, gender, or history - but it’s fine to carry arms.”

Protestors erupted inside the state capitol as a bill passed allowing teachers to carry guns in school.

“It’s pretty playground stuff - If you’re Angela Rayner you can get away with it.”

A jab at Rishi Sunak’s height landed a big laugh in PMQs.

Angela Rayner: 'I was expecting a little bit better from him today. He seems a bit exhausted. Maybe it's the 3am calls from 'the bad men''.

Thank you His Majesty’s Passport Office for excellent service. Super efficient and first rate communications on progress. And when I had a wrinkle with application easy to get someone on the phone for advice. Good job….

This is potentially huge, and given global threats surely appropriate. But 2 questions:
1. Where do cuts fall on other govt departments? Cos this isn’t going to be done by cutting down on paper clips
2. Where does this leave abolishing NI? Another massive financial commitment

“People will be so distressed, the concern is they may physically resist and pilots refuse to take off.”

Legal problems, detention spaces and airline carriers are some of the ongoing challenges preventing a flight to Rwanda taking off.

“This incident looked like it set out to make a political point. It wasn’t organic.”

Is there more to the interaction between the Met Police and Jewish journalist Gideon Falter than meets the eye?
