Yeah, the US system doesn’t really have the government as Westminster does, it has appointed cabinet and agency officials instead.
If these were government ministers instead of backbenchers on a private trip it would be taken a lot further than a “please don’t” message from the foreign secretary.
It’s still a hell of a telling statement though.
Not the same thing. MPs are classed as frontbench and backbench. The Prime Minister can employ up to 140 MPs and Lords as ministers. This is the government, and forms the frontbench of the governing party. Non-government MPs of the governing party are backbenchers.
Both these MPs are backbenchers. They hold no office in the government, have little more influence on policy than any other member of the Labour Party.
There are strict separations between government and Parliament, a principle known as dual sovereignty. In some areas Parliament is sovereign, and in others (such as treaties, wars, most foreign policy) the King is sovereign, delegating his power to the Cabinet. So parliamentary powers are not government powers.
They are not government officials.
A judge explains themselves in the judgement.
The moment someone “gets jesus” it’s time to alert the authorities.
Do people who make good choices decide to join the violence industry in the first place?
It’s a (small) purchase by the UK taxpayer, buying European. Seems the right place.
When Europe decided it wanted to create its own convention on human rights, they enlisted the English to write it, so respected is the English legal system among the other members.
The EU has always been clear that it prefers Britain on the inside, and has left the door wide open for its potential return. The special sweeteners Britain once had may be more hotly discussed.
He blatantly used AI to find trade with the US. Due to sanctions there’s almost none.
They should, if they are unsuited to the job.
Ubuntu had a general crackling issue introduced last year, an issue around a buffer size which I fixed by copying
/usr/share/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf
To ~/.config/pipewire
Uncomment
pulse.min.quantum = 128/48000
And increase to 512/48000. Restart.
systemctl --user restart wireplumber pipewire pipewire-pulse
Increase buffer until stuttering ends. Note this also introduces delay to audio.
Perhaps your issue is something similar? I wouldn’t blindly make these changes on your end, but maybe it’s something to search up on.
Didn’t hurt Reddit or OnlyFans.
Daily Mail would rather be racist, sexist and xenophobic rather than either of those things.
More like political ambition. I’ll never understand a country that elects its prosecutors. Madness.
Pretty sure it was unlearned 1804-1870, and again 1940-1944.
Local government still has a legal obligation to ensure that every town and village has a functioning bakery, so no-one has a revolutionary urge.
We have already seen this administration, and state and local agencies, discard the concept of due process - legal, natural born US citizens have been caught up in the net already just because they look “foreign”. Indeed, the military itself disregarded due process habitually in Iraq and Afghanistan as they were unquestioned.
So who is a US Citizen? A person requires due process to prove their citizenship. Can you trust Trumpworld to ask questions before they shoot? How do you mount a defense without due process?
We have seen before how mission creep hands ever greater powers to the state. Originally, searches of property were conducted at border crossings. Then searches included devices such as smartphones and the content of those phones including social media apps. Then the definition of “border” search areas was increased to anywhere within 190 miles of a border or port of entry (eg airports), meaning without a warrant your phone is subject to seizure and data retrieval with zero probable cause if you live near any major city, if the authorities so choose.
So today, the military patrol the border. Tomorrow, the border region, next week any state with a land or sea border, next month any state with an international airport…
That’s very valid. But the general culture in the US has been to be uncritical about the actions and policies of their military, to always focus on the individuals so they can be thanked for their “service” without realising how weird and dangerous that is. Now the lessons learned overseas are being applied in the homeland.
About time Americans got a taste of the havoc their military has been inflicting on the rest of the world for decades. Dumbasses. Maybe they’ll actually wake up but I won’t hold out hope.
Build a dominant military, get put to the sword by that same military. History is littered with precedent on this. My empathy has worn down to the level of “thoughts and prayers”.
Not sure actually. One of the MPs is on the Foreign Affairs Committee, but the other is on no committees so it would be odd. But yeah, MPs can gang together on “fact-finding trips” without it being official business.
