I suspect most people would struggle to define what a Nazi is. I think Trump is more an imperialist - emperors lived by being popular and having enough people behind them, or the right people. I think he sees a system which re-elects the incumbent as very acceptable. - He'll certainly choose...

I think one of his other direct targets will be the electoral system. Gerrymandering has already proved difficult to undo, and it'll just get worse. It might turn into how competently they manage to do it.

I think this is a given. He pulled out last time, so he'll do this immediately. SCOTUS have rescinded the agreement that agencies could pursue breaches, so they all now have to go through slow and expensive court processes. It's a policy to help the rich now - the future problems it causes are...

Thanks - that's what I expected. It sounded like the sniper got his target almost immediately, and Trump was on the ground for quite a while.

While I accept that it looks very bad, I do wonder how the Secret Service could hustle a 250+ lb old man down stairs if he refuses to bend down and move. It looks like he's as big or bigger than most of them. Trump stopping before leaving the stage made it difficult - it looked to me that they...

He mostly blamed the media, and especially majored on the BBC, and on Jo Brand 5 years ago. It felt a bit like someone shouting in an empty hall, as it really didn't make a general point by being me, me, me.

As in the BBC were showing it, but the Twitter links were aftermath not incident. Surely the time of the shooting was more significant?

Curious that the BBC have the footage at the time, not just the bit on Twitter in the aftermath. Some belief that the shots came from outside the (outdoor) venue.

Shots fired at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania while he was on stage. Trump definitely puts a hand to his ear (as if being nicked?) before ducking and the Secret Service piling in. Also reported that he was seen being hustled to a car afterwards.

She almost certainly was targetting her comments for those who elect Conservative leaders.

It seems that Snopes made a change to their own factcheck to go from Unproven to True, based on the letter - the letter does not appear to reference any content or excerpt. Not hard to see why media doesn't want to look far into a private diary written for rehab purposes and then sold for...

That was pretty much my impression from comments made - I haven't and have no intention of going to read the extract.

I had the impression that: the diary itself was confirmed. The contents are not important to that fact. The stuff put on the internet were not confirmed by Ashley Biden as being taken from the diary.

As far as I know, the diary was sold to a right-wing organisation. It was then leaked to a different right-wing organisation and images purporting to be of the diary were put online. Ashley Biden has acknowledged the diary is hers, but does not appear to have confirmed that the specific images...

Ta, I heard them say they weren't going to comment, but not deny it. Hadn't heard that it had come from Fox.

The latest Biden theory seems to be that he's got Parkinson's. First the press conference was asked about repeated visits from a doctor in that field; this evening, a UK politician (Baroness Kennedy) said she thought it looked like it from the way he walks, whether this was suggested in her mind...

It's certainly easy to draw a dotted line from running down NHS to encouraging private healthcare. Perception of how far it went that way is going to depend on the individual. Some will think it was significantly the plan. I don't think anyone thinks that Barclay (and whoever else has been...

Isn't it fairly immaterial as to whether it's 26% or 35%? They're clearly well down, and want it significantly closer to what it might be. They have to make a starting pitch somewhere, and have done. Fixating on the % claim is pointless. I don't believe for one second that they expect to get a...

yes. Of the names I can put a face to: the two above, Geoffrey Cox, Roger Gale, Danny Kruger, Francois, Ed Leigh, McVey, Sunak, Hunt, Gavin Williamson, Holden - that's 12 of them, are many of them going to be in a shadow role? Assuming none of them, that leaves 83 who were MPs in the last...

Hadn't realised that Badenoch has been put in as shadow Levelling Up. I bet she'll get on really well jousting with Rayner.
