Trump promised to scrap climate laws if US oil bosses donated $1bn Trump promised to 20 executives at Mar-a-Lago dinner to increase oil drilling and reverse pollution rules among other pitches. History doesn't always repeat itself, but it can instruct. *calls Godwin's Law on self* |

It was frustrating watching a labour politician this morning doing their best to avoid answering the questions posed. I had hoped we might see better following a change of government, but accept that’s pretty naive on my part. It is very upsetting to read that hamas killed six hostages and really illustrates how there is unlikely to ever be a good outcome. Both sides need to play their part in a solution, neither are willing to, as their solution is to eliminate the other. |

Well Israeli trade unions have just called for a general strike because of the mismanagement of the hostage situation... General strikes can collapse governments if successful.

Trump ridiculed after accusing Kamala Harris of mistreating Mike Pence. Donald Trump has drawn ridicule and accusations of hypocrisy after accusing Kamala Harris of mistreating Mike Pence, the former vice-president who his supporters said should be hanged during the January 6 insurrection that he incited. "They say she has many deficiencies, but she’s a nasty person,” Trump told the interviewer, Mark Levin. “The way she treated Mike Pence was horrible. The way she treats people is horrible." Irony overload... And in rebuttal.. From Harris's campaign.. “In a stunning senile moment, Donald Trump just suggested it was Kamala Harris who treated Mike Pence poorly,” the campaign posted on X, linking to video footage of Trump’s comments. Posting on social media, David Corn, a journalist with Mother Jones, wrote: “What? Did she call him the p-word and incite the violent mob that chanted ‘Hang Mike Pence’? Because if she did, she probably should drop out of the race.” |

It's telling that Labour kicked out a genuine local left-wing trade unionist candidate in favour of a slumlord as their candidate for that seat. That's Labour values for you.

[from the council definitely, as an MP probably but I suspect his chips are well and truly urine-soaked now anyway]
