Trump a un paso de ser destituido ‼️
Mark Kelly acaba de mostrarle a Tulsi Gabbard un correo electrónico de Trump a donantes prometiendo que los dejaría entrar en informes de seguridad nacional a cambio de dinero.
¿Crees que sea correcto que los partidarios que donaron dinero tengan ahora el privilegio de recibir informes privados de seguridad nacional de EEUU?

We will be launching an all-party parliamentary group on postal services in the near future. Alongside this we are talking to a significant number of politicians who have already shown their full support in developing an alternative vision on the future of Royal Mail.
At last week’s meeting with the Government and Royal Mail's owners, we made clear it was time to review the agreements EP reached following their takeover of Royal Mail. We also set out our views on the need for an entirely new vision and business model for the future of Royal Mail, and we will be campaigning for this.

Today I have tabled a new Parliamentary Motion calling for urgent Government action to get aid into Gaza and for sanctions against Israeli officials and others who block it.
The world cannot stand by while this crime continues.

Cressida Dick working for Palantir raises the same concerns I’ve expressed about Tom Watson.
What does a company gain when it recruits a former Labour deputy leader or a former Metropolitan Police commissioner? Their experience, yes. But also their contacts, influence and the authority associated with the offices they held.
This ‘revolving door’ corrodes confidence in politics, public service generally and in institutions such as the police.
