Latest Commentary: Senior Tory MPs Defect to Reform -- While the Trump administration has been creating chaos from Venezuela to Greenland to Minnesota, politics elsewhere has not stopped. Over in the UK, the right-wing in-fighting continues between the Conservative Party and newly minted Reform.In the last few days, former Home Secratary Suella Braverman and shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick have quit the Tories and joined Reform. Conservative Party Leader Kemi Badenoch is saying "good riddance" rather than trying to calm the waters. If past is prologue, the split on the right will mirror the split on the left in the 1980s. The only thing certain at this point is that Labour benefits from this. [29 January] Trump Fires Bovino for Losing Minneapolis Battle -- The Trump administration has bitten off way more than it can chew by invading Minneapolis, Minnesota, with a few thousand ICE and Border Patrol agents. These untrained militiamen have been violating the constitution the way an occupying army might, with about as much respect for the civilians among whom they goosestep. They have murdered two US citizens with point-blank pistol shots to the head. The lying from the DHS does not work because the video clearly shows the lie for what it is. Mr. Trump has started surrendering by firing Greg Bovino as the commander of ICE et al. Bribe-taker Tom Homan takes over. Firing the general will not work, though, because the troops are the problem [27 January] ICE Murders Second US Citizen -- Yesterday, Alex Pretti should be alive this morning. He is not because Donald Trump has decided to put an untrained and unsupervised militia onto the streets of Minneapolis as he continues working to rig the mid-terms later this year. The Immigation and Customs Enforcement kids have no jurisdiction over US citizens, but there they are killing citizens who make them feel uncomfortable by recording the abuse the ICE agents are handing out. The ICE leadership and the Heimatschutzministerium of Kirsti Noem have rushed to the microphones to lie about what happened because that is the only hope they have of getting off scot-free. The time has come to ask whether the American Republic has died. [26 January] Jack Smith Testifies in Public -- Special Prosecutor Jack Smith investigated the January 6, 2021, insurrection and the classified documents hidden in Mar-a-Lago. He indicted the president in both cases, but those cases were withdrawn by the Trump Departmentof Justice. What he discovered is that Mr. Trump is guilty of several felonies. A few weeks ago, he testified to Congress behind closed doors. Yesterday, he did so publicly. In proper Congressional hearings, there is an attempt to find the truth. That is not what happened. Republican members engaged in grandstanding for the benefit of one person, Donald Trump. Hoping to catch Mr. Smith out on some mistake, they found nothing. Mr. Smith had the goods to put the president in prison. [23 January] Board of Peace is Nonsense -- Having caved in on his demand for sovereingty over Greenland, Donald Trump spent part of today launching a completely useless entity called the "Board of Peace." It is an ephermeral body that exists allegedly to rebuild Gaza, but the fact is that the area is not even mentioned in the charter that Mr. Trump and his minions signed today shows what nonsense it is. He is even charging a billion dollar price for a permanent seat. It seems that Mr. Trump wants a rival body to the UN that he can control. One can call into question whether the world needs the UN, but what is certain is that the world does not need a second one.
