Another argument for a European Alternative !
Trump's executive order sanctioning Albanese prohibited any American person or entity from providing her with “funds, goods or services” – a description so broad it has been compared to a “civil death”. Her apartment in Washington, bought when she and her family were living in the US capital, has been seized. She can no longer use a credit card anywhere in the world, as almost all such transactions are processed by US-based services. “I go around with cash or I have to borrow from friends or from family members,” she says.

On making an argument, a distinction from down-thread -

" Litigation is a largely value-free exercise which can be won on technical, legal points. Politics is not "
Plus my solicitor friend -- " We dont do Justice, we do the Law", but unlike Starmer she does have her Values

Re: Tuesday 14th April 2026
Leeds doesn't have the most impressive skyline but here's the view from my new bedroom nevertheless.
I've never dealt with British Gas before, are they a real company or some surrealist comedy piss take? I only ask because the bloke who was meant to be swapping the account into my name was laughing at his own incompetence over the phone, and then when I tried to rectify his idiocy over a webchat (after getting past the bot) it still didn't help. All they have to do is send me an email so I can verify my own email and sign into the account. After three days I'm still waiting. It's baffling.

Your Party failure shows Scots’ wishes never truly respected

Well worth a read. Lip-service paid to regional autonomy, democratic votes overridden, gross London-centric incompetence leaving Scottish candidates unable to stand in parliamentary elections, the party is dead North of the border.
