Virginia’s Democratic controlled legislature has officially passed legislation prohibiting schools in the state from teaching lies about the January 6 insurrection.
Love this, all blue states should follow their lead and do the same.
A huge over-simplification of an extremely complex situation. V easy to do if you're nowhere near being in government.
Spain has got the security of being part of the EU. We don't.

“Kristi Noem tried to upstage the President. And Trump would never stand for that. You can run an agency into the ground, and trample all over Americans’ constitutional rights, and use government funding like it’s your own personal slush fund. But you absolutely cannot steal Trump’s spotlight."
In Congressional hearing, Pam Bondi told members of Congress that they should not question Trump about his Epstein ties because the DOW was above 50,000.
It is far below that now. So, will she now agree to answer honest, pertinent questions about Trump's involvement in a child sex trafficking ring?
Hegseth keeps saying we are untouchable and invincible and we have total dominance so I don’t know how this could happen.
We can throw another $500,000,000,000 at the Pentagon this year and spend $1,000,000,000/day on a wholly useless war, but we can't afford to hire doctors and nurses to take care of our veterans? The United States is such an irresponsible, messed up country right now.
Given the unanimous reporting of our media wanting us to join an illegal war the citizens of this country are not buying it.
Have the media barons pushed the public too far? I do hope so. I think their anti Starmer rhetoric has worn very thin.
The Justice Department released FBI interviews with a woman who accused Donald Trump of beating her after he sexually assaulted her when she was a child. trib.al/FRCmhds
I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.
This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.
Thank you ever so much Ellie. I'll pass the information on.
Do you mind me asking whereabouts your endo clinic is? My daughter has it and the care seems v patchy on the Wirral.
Thank you for sharing this x
I remember when ‘Brexit Means Brexit’ became a way for silly people to insist that they supported something they could neither justify nor explain. Obviously the context is very different, but something similar is already happening with the ‘war’ in Iran. And it’s mostly the same people doing it.
Justice Department publishes documents with sexual assault allegations against Trump
Zelensky has done everything he possibly can to satisfy this admin while he fights a war of survival for his people. And the Trump admin has done nothing but repeatedly treat him with disrespect, scorn & ridicule. 2 days ago, Trump called him “PT Barnum.” This is how Z responds.
And still, so-called patriots queue up to condemn their own Prime Minister for refusing to join in with all this…
WAR CRIME BY THE US.
An unarmed Iranian ship was takIng part in an Indian naval exercise, alongside the US.
The US withdrew and torpedoed the Iranian ship.
THEN the US refused to rescue the sailors, letting them drown.
This is treachery, cowardice, cruelty and a war crime of the highest order.
In the theatre, you should always leave them wanting more.
Unless it's an operating theatre.
And you're the anaesthetist.

This is fantastic. I just wish they had courage before they announced retirement

Sir, For the first time I totally disagree with one of your editorials, which states that the UK should join the war alongside the Americans. To keep the UK out of this conflict is the bravest, strongest act by Sir Keir Starmer in this parliament. The Iranian regime without doubt is odious but this war is doomed to fail, just like the ones in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is not supported by the majority of Americans and will cost billions of dollars and many lives. At least the prime minister has learnt the lessons of history - unlike his counterpart in the White House. Dr Susan Kempson Haddington, East Lothian
PM is right to be cautious on Iran I read James Ball's balanced column "Trump's Iran gamble could unravel his presidency" (The i Paper, 3 March) with interest and, yes, his all-guns-blazing action might indeed come back to haunt him. He and his gung-ho colleagues may have read the room wrong and the American people will be furious if many of their young people die as a result of this war. Seemingly diplomacy is at an end and his presidential call of "America First" rings eerily empty. There is no doubt that the Iranian regime which targeted its own people had to be stopped, but is this the best way to do it? JUDITH A DANIELS REAT YARMOUTH My son was sent to the Gulf when Blair involved the UK in the last American-led fiasco. He still bears the mental scars. Consequently, Starmer's reluctance to get involved now is good news to me. L DGODDARD ASHFORD Those who criticise Sir Keir Starmer for not supporting Donald Trump might consider the possible consequences. Has it occurred to them that the Prime Minister is trying to minimise the risk of Iranian retaliatory action, either militarily or by individuals, by refusing to participate in this conflict? His duty to protect UK citizens is a priority. S LAWTON KIRTLINGTON
Letters in The Times and iPaper that reflect the views of British people far better than the deeply partisan, stupid and disloyal headlines of the rightwing press. Showing there is simply no issue on which they will just calm down and support a Labour govt. Not one. Not even in a war no one wants.
“He’s no Churchill”
No but thank god he isn’t, we don’t need to follow US around and get involved in their wars.
“He’s trashed the special relationship”
I’m pretty sure the guy who degraded our war dead, enforced punitive tariffs, belittled our greatest city and law. He did that. Not Starmer
