It's sort of wild that the US president declares war and announces peace deals 3-4 times a week now and it's just...barely even news any more? Could it be unhealthy? Who can say!
Ashton PittmanUpdate: No deal, back to war, Trump says.

friend who's still on Twitter informs me that this absolute howler passed us by yesterday (yes, this was Burnham's speech on social care)
Also, an MP doesn't have to fight a by-election to talk to their constituents.
TyronKind of a mental line from Farage on why it's so good for him to be fighting the Clacton by-election. Reform shouldn't ever have needed to be seriously fighting Clacton at the next general election if they were remotely on track to be the next opposition, let alone the government?
'It's almost as if people think the rules should be different for them and their colleagues...' @mrjamesob.bsky.social believes there's now a 'two-tier approach' to acceptable language used by politicians.
Burnham: "Social care in England is as unfair as American healthcare." It's a very good line.

The Times corrects its splash story headlined "Migrant care workers bring dozens of family members." The Times got this totally wrong. It then used its own error as the basis for an editorial calling explicitly for forced expulsions of people living here legally. www.thetimes.com/comment/regi...
Thank you Alan. The sensible and thoughtful response.
Alan LesterDisgusted with @thetimes for presenting this non-story. If it has to be covered at all it should be framed as Discredited Racist Smears Black Cambridge Professor in Sustained Campaign to Undermine Him. Arday quoted & cited sources appropriately. www.thetimes.com/uk/education...
@mrjamesob.bsky.social the Full Disclosure with Russell Kane, for me, was the best one yet. Thank you!
Elon Musk, owner of X, has called the editor of the Economist "a traitor to the West, plain and simple" after her recent interview with him. He now argues that "anyone who opposes remigration is a traitor" Musk has been socialising violence since Aug25: "fight or die, that's what it comes down to"
"The decision to freeze the account of a political party has no known precedent in modern times." www.thetimes.com/article/48c9...
