'Executive orders' are a foreign concept to the British constitution because the prime minister is not a president. Perhaps Farage is intent on usurping the throne?

David Lammy is sharpening the axe...

Andrew remains 8th in line to the throne. He is the first senior royal to be arrested since 1647

Anas Sarwar's political operation appears to be more incompetent than Keir Starmer's, which is a genuinely impressive achievement.

Britain has dethroned a prince, forced Mandelson to resign, & lost confidence in Starmer because @RepThomasMassie & I forced the release of the Epstein files.
What is America doing to hold the Epstein class accountable?
We need to haul these powerful men before Congress.

@carto_graph Explains why Starmer avoids the Commons lobby as much as he can...

Labour's Ming Vase strategy has very rapidly become a Ming Emperor strategy, hasn't it? Behold the Chongzhen Prime Minister, who has lost the Mandate of Heaven, forced to retreat to the Palace Gardens whilst he contemplates the advance of the rebels on the Capital

I'm sure Hugh Despenser appreciated Edward II's continued confidence in him too...

Starmer defends McSweeney, his chief of staff, at PMQs: "Morgan McSweeney is an essential part of my team. He helped me change the Labour Party & win the election. Of course I have confidence in him"

@ThatchGer1 @GraemeCallister @mcribbHistory @AstorJacob1 @AndNapoleon @LandOfHistory @NRWGCharity @Napoleonic_Imp If you want to make a case for Valutina then that's not so unreasonable. But getting lost and marching in circles during a night retreat could have happened without a battle at Smolensk.
English
@JSC1812 @GraemeCallister @mcribbHistory @AstorJacob1 @AndNapoleon @LandOfHistory @NRWGCharity @Napoleonic_Imp It's more the consequences and full out afterwards than the Battle itself
English
@ThatchGer1 @GraemeCallister @mcribbHistory @AstorJacob1 @AndNapoleon @LandOfHistory @NRWGCharity @Napoleonic_Imp If Barclay had his way, there wouldn't have even been a battle at Smolensk.
The whole concept of ranking battles by significance is a bit silly but Smolensk doesn't really figure in the top 5 of the whole Russian campaign.
English
@GraemeCallister @JSC1812 @mcribbHistory @AstorJacob1 @AndNapoleon @LandOfHistory @NRWGCharity @Napoleonic_Imp True but It's easier to scream never when you've got an Army still going. If the Russian Army had been smashed he'd be in a far more difficult position.
Certainly The Russian Regime 2 big worries were Napoleon give Poland back its country and offering liberation to the Serfs

@ThatchGer1 @mcribbHistory @AstorJacob1 @GraemeCallister @AndNapoleon @LandOfHistory @NRWGCharity @Napoleonic_Imp No it wasn't. (Valutina Gora afterwards could have been.)

@mcribbHistory @AstorJacob1 @GraemeCallister @AndNapoleon @LandOfHistory @NRWGCharity @Napoleonic_Imp Smolensk was more significant than Oporto Marcus

Mark Carney has been a politician for just over a year and he has 10x the political skills Keir Starmer has acquired in 10 years.

Canada PM Mark Carney spoke at the World Economic Forum, calling on "middle powers" to stop mourning the old-world order. He asked them to create new alliances to oppose pressure tactics and intimidation bloom.bg/3LOEAXs

@Artemisapphire Even if the mid-terms do go ahead, and even if the Democrats win a House majority, he's just going to continue to rule by executive fiat and the Supreme Court will uphold pretty much everything he does.

My not a date, reassuringly anti-Trump, is still, as are most other Americans, convinced that Trump would never step over the line of cancelling mid-terms, citing it would "cause a constitutional crisis" and I'm like, mate...

BREAKING: The US is considering paying Greenlanders $10,000 to $100,000 each to support secession from Denmark. We may soon witness the largest acquisition in world history.

@Artemisapphire Because English is three languages in a trenchcoat. It is a running joke in our household to refer to a singular sheep as 'shoop.'

Random community Thoughts. If it's spelled siege, why is it seege and not sij, and sieve is siv and not seev? And yet you move the "i" for receive for it to be ceev

@Artemisapphire The only former colleague from my previous job that I've kept in touch with beyond the first year is my dad, does that count? 🤣
English
Um
Quite a few
Actually
I'm still besties with a few former colleagues
I mean Simon, you sad bastard if no one kept in touch!
Simons@Simon_Ingari
After quitting/Losing a job, how many colleagues actually call to check on you? Zero. That’s the hard truth most of Us learn late. Work relationships are often role-based, not life-based. Your value is tied to your position, not your presence.

Merry Barclaymas to everyone who celebrates.
