Starmer created this crisis by sacking a qualified and competent woman.
And when he sacked career diplomat Karen Pierce to give Mandelson her job, SIX other senior women diplomats left FCDO as their careers were doomed under his government.
He's done far worse, but I'm fine if this does for him.

Maddow: "Do we think our servicemen and women are in good hands? Do we think that there is care being taken in terms of what they're risking their lives for?"

Maddow "As thousands more US service members are being sent over there now, even as we speak, & as casualty numbers rise, do we think our servicemen & women are in good hands? Do we think that there is care being taken in terms of what they're risking their lives for?

This was such an early and corrupt unconstitutional executive order. Jared is the Nepo Negotiator and Chief Grifter. Follow his money.

Imagine a California where families and workers don't just survive, they flourish. That’s the roadmap.
Better schools, housing that’s affordable, cleaner air, and a health care system that sees you as a human being first.
Let’s make it happen.
Today's winner of the Internet. Congratulations!
#Melania 1) she emailed Maxwell, and Maxwell was the one who REPLIED 2) Trivial was mispronounced by Melania (so she did not write the statement - which was not trivial - it was personal.
I hope Amanda Ungaro does testify @robertgarcia.house.gov @repstansbury.bsky.social www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...
There’s two more victims speaking out against Paulo Zampolli in addition to Amanda Ungaro, and TikTok is trying to suppress their stories.

Sarah Longwell: We are committing superpower suicide in real time. Trump is making China Great Again. Poll: People in *every single one* of the top US-allied countries now believe it’s better to depend on China than on the US. The global balance of power is clearly tilting away from the US and toward China.

Péter Magyar Calls for CPAC Funding Investigation After Ousting Viktor Orbán
open.substack.com/pub/lincolns...
Péter Magyar, who defeated Hungary's autocratic leader Viktor Orbán, vowed to shut down the country's state broadcaster, accusing it of spreading "North Korean-style" propaganda.
Peter Magyar is a legend for going up to all of Orban's corrupt officials and telling them off to their faces.
CNN International:
In his first days as Hungary's prime minister-elect, Péter Magyar has begun to dismantle the "propaganda machine" that Viktor Orbán built over his 16 years in office, which helped him crush his rivals and win four consecutive elections.

The Iranians are playing this brainsick dullard like a yo-yo.
Aaron Astor: My general tendency is to reject conspiracy theories. And yet, this keeps happening - massive trades just minutes before Trump announces something. And that something (Iran handing over uranium and opening Hormuz) often turns out not to be true at all.
Trump six weeks ago:
I demand UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER.
Trump today:
I basically surrender on regime change, the nuclear program being gone once and for all, missiles, proxies, sanctions, and paying off the Iranian regime.
But memo to my followers: Let’s pretend it’s all good!
"[Several officials] said that [Kash Patel] is known to drink to the point of obvious intoxication, in many cases at the private club Ned’s in Washington, D.C., while in the presence of White House and other administration staff."

www.rawstory.com/kash-patel-2...
Report in question detailed claims that Patel has been frequently drunk on the job, to the point FBI officials considered ordering forcible-entry SWAT equipment in case he locked himself in his office while intoxicated, that he has been impossible to reach at times…
In addition to everything else we know about FBI Director Kash Patel, it turns out that he’s so drunk so much of the time that his colleagues in law enforcement and intelligence consider him a threat to public safety national security. Gift link: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...
🤣🤣🤣
The most hypocritical, ridiculous administration in history, and it’s not even close.
