Trump's Red Tie Is No Lie

The three-way battle rages for the slightly largest quarter of the votes cast among one of the parties with five MPs, an almost unpublicised party with no policies, and the party that is in government. The first two support Donald Trump, but he himself supports the third one, even to the point of having accepted Peter Mandelson as the British Ambassador to Washington. Trump has not declassified the files on Jeffrey Epstein. There is no other country, including the United States, where Trump is politically as dominant as he is in Britain. There is no evidence that he is remotely aware of his dominance here.

This afternoon, the House of Commons passed an SNP Ten Minute Rule Motion to compensate the WASPI women, by 105 to nil. Only a Ten Minute Rule Motion, but in that case, then note that Labour and the Conservatives were whipped to abstain. And note that, although a lot of people do not like voting for anything that had been tabled by the SNP, it was joined today, not only by Plaid Cymru, but also by the Liberal Democrats, by the Greens, by Reform UK, by all six MPs who had been elected as Independents, and by all eight MPs from four tribes of Ulster Unionist; there is a crossover of one between those last two categories. Even Rosie Duffield turned up. But not five of the seven MPs from whom the Labour Whip was presently suspended, not even Rebecca Long-Bailey, who co-chairs the All-Party Parliamentary Group on WASPI. Everyone except Apsana Begum and Zarah Sultana must want the Whip back. Why? Do they really love Trump that much?
