It's false to claim that the protocol is temporary. Johnson's version removed all the references to it being temporary. It can be amended by mutual consent, or a majority of the Northern Ireland assembly can partly refuse consent unilaterally. But Jenrick doesn't care what the NI majority think.
Tesla is enough of a meme stock that it may not matter but it is genuinely incredible that a company that built its customer base on selling to affluent liberals is basically mailing them a bag of dogshit on a daily basis at this point
Brooks Brothers Riot: Republican operatives from DC posed as Florida voters in order to stop votes for Gore from being counted. Many are still in politics and media, acting all shocked (incl. MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace, who was Bush II's comms director) Charlatans then and charlatans now.
Jack Smith's filing on Trump's election crimes contains an important reference to the Brooks Brothers Riot, the moment in 2000 that birthed our current political nightmare. I explain here: paulwaldman.substack.com/p/the-distur...

That Johnson has put in writing in his book that his Ā£350m to the EU was a lie and he knew it despite travelling the length of the country to lie to the electorate should be Exhibit 1 at his trial.
Mark Zuckerberg wants you to think heās a new man because he wears baggy clothes and gold chains. But the reality is that heās embracing right-wing politics and spurning critics while presenting himself as a great future builder to distract from the ongoing harms of his platforms.
Metaās platforms are still causing harm, but the CEO has convinced the media to look at the future instead of the present
"Starmerās rhetoric is deliberately divisive and the substance of his argument for CCS is wafer thin, based on the exceedingly flimsy promises of an oil and gas industry that is, day by day, actively diminishing its already weak commitments to the zero-carbon transition" @davidrvetter.bsky.social->
In a poorly conceived political stunt, the UK Prime Minister wrote an op-ed in The Sun attacking climate protesters and making the case for the fossil fuel industry's favourite decarbonisation tech.
