A great British institution and an anniversary worth celebrating unreservedly
it’s a 2 minute radio program, never repeated, broadcast 18 times a week. Bigger audience than Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, and Jimmy Fallon … combined. Millions listen, with no need for the information it gives. Just to listen. The BBC Shipping Forecast is 100 years old.

Federal overreach? Subversion of the rule of law? Barely licensed thuggery? More and more examples of this from ICE. Deeply disturbing #ICE #Trump #DemocracyUnderThreat #UVIPolitics
These men showed up in this little market and grabbed the owner for no reason and if you notice they’re dressed in plain clothes with no Identification! They threw him to the ground as a Combat Vet shopping there calls the police on them! There was no warrant and he was a Citizen

Didn't even mention Maria Corina Machado by name... Just 'The person who actually got the Nobel prize ... I've been helping her along the way'🙄
Trump: "The person who actually got the Nobel Prize called today, called me, and said 'I'm accepting this in honor of you, because you really deserved it.' A really nice thing to do. I didn't say 'Then give it to me, though.'"

Aside from the scale of this (!) highlights something else about Reform’s vote - whereas Republican’s have struggled to turn out the MAGA base in low stakes elections, Reform voters are clearly highly motivated to vote even in usually low turnout contests.

YR 12 /13 Some excellent points made by Luke recently about positioning of Conservatives if going to succeed.... Worth following the account!
