We have to be clear about what the Trump Administration is doing: They are taking basic American virtues and freedoms — the ability to speak truth to power and freely — and turning them into crimes. We must see through this.
For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies
This is the judgment on the PPE/Medpro claim. A cracking £122m win for the Government Legal Service And is wonderful to see the government bringing a claim in contract against a shoddy supplier. This does not happen often, and it should happen far more. www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/u...

Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins? He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions. So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?

Today in 1805: Napoleon's greatest triumph. He humbled two emperors, Hapsburg and Romanov, at Austerlitz. He then wrote what was his greatest letter to his wife Josephine: "I have beaten the Russian and Austrian army commanded by two emperors. I am a little tired."

Sigh - classic fact free nonsense. ‘news’ story here totally fails to mention that Tory plans were for fines of £5k (later reduced to £3k) for each missed heat pump sale. What @Ed_Miliband has done is to reduce that to £500. Headline should read “Miliband slashes Tory boiler tax”

1. Richard Scott (Duke of Buccleuch and Queensberry) One of Scotland’s richest aristocrats. Previously faced a farmers’ revolt after doubling the rent for land on one of his estates.
Actually reminds me of the broader paranoia about "inheritance tax" which has been promoted by the likes of Mail and DT. Loads of totally unaffected people have been conned into believing they'll pay when they die.
You know who hasn't had this degree of media support for their financial interests? Disabled people, poor people with more than two kids, public sector workers (after all that clapping for the NHS). I'm not usually a 'blame the media' person but seriously - this is mad
