18 pointsLatest according to Bev Stohl "Noam has not made significant progress, I’m sorry to say. I doubt he will be able to return to the public eye, as he is not communicating much if at all. At 95, his natural aging process is also a factor. His body is tired. I will continue to keep you posted as I learn more. Thank you all for caring. Bev"

2 pointsI've seen speculation that Sunak's recent insistance that planes will be taking off to Rwanda by 15th July means he'll wait until at least then to call the GE. I disagree. I'm still optimistic about the chances of a GE being called shortly after the LEs. The results of the LEs are going to be horrifying for the Tories. Penny Dreadful and Kemi Badenough and Honest Bob Jenprick and Suella Depraverman and Granty Twelvenames are all weighing up a leadership challenge after this, to which Sunak will bravely respond by calling a GE immediately. That would be timed so that the election is in early summer. 4th July, most probably. If the election is called this soon, he can still just go hell for leather on the "Vote Tory and planes will definitely definitely be going to Rwanda next week, I promise" line. It'll fail, but Dr Death cares not a fuck; he can piss clean off to Cali with Mrs Death and little junior Deaths and enjoy their billion quid in silicon valley. We won't see him again. If he threatens his MPs with an election purely in an effort to stop a leadership contest, tbh I still think at least Braverman would go ahead and challenge him. I've heard her recently on LBC; she actually sounded quite gleeful at the prospect of a heavy, heavy GE loss; she knows her seat is one of the safest, and she knows this would clear a path for her to grab the Tory leadership and mold what's left of the party to her tastes while they're in opposition. There are too many landmines for the Tories further down the road. Foreign leaders are already starting to ignore Sunak as they know he's a dead man walking, and that'll get worse and worse as the year goes on. They won't want to be about for the Hallet report, either. And if the Rwanda planes inevitably don't take off on 15th July and they still haven't called an election, that'll fuck goodbye the very last shred of credibility he has with that awful, heartless contigent who wants to see the scheme happen. Calling the election so it happens just before all this would frankly be damage limitation.

1 pointSilas Soule died on this day 159 years ago, aged 26. - Soule was a direct descendant of Mayflower passenger George Soule; his 5x-great-grandfather. - Soule would move to Kansas in 1855; his family (particularly his father Amasa) were abolitionists who came to assist Underground Railroad efforts in Bleeding Kansas. Silas himself would help bring escaped slaves from Missouri to the north (possibly towards Iowa). - Following John Brown's arrest in 1859 following the Harper's Ferry raid, Soule would plan to break him out of jail- Brown refused due to wanting to be a martyr for the antislavery cause, and remained in his cell when Soule did manage to convince the jailer to let him out of his cell for a bit. - Soule would move to Colorado in 1860, and would join the Colorado Cavalry upon the outbreak of the Civil War. He would remain within the group after the Confederates retreated from New Mexico (where he fought). - Soule was one of the American soldiers who participated in the Sand Creek massacre of 1864- but refused his superior's orders to kill any Native Americans and told his unit to hold their fire. Soule would whistleblow details of the attack, and testified against said superior in the federal investigation of the event. - Soule was killed by a gunman a few months after his testimony (while working as a provost marshal), and his death is believed to have been an assassination.

1 pointBaroness Doreen Massey (wiki), Labour Member of the House of Lords (since 1999), dead at 85. Not a good time to be a member of the Lords, particularly a Labour one (8 of their peers dead in 6 months). Luckily for Starmer, he's about to win an election so he'll be able to stuff the House full of more bootlickers seeing as Tony's cronies are really starting to drop like flies.

1 pointAnthony Williams, prominent campaigner and victim of the Windrush scandal, reportedly dead: https://www.gofundme.com/f/bm3vvs-anthony-williams?attribution_id=sl:e7434f48-018b-4506-9e18-d3c6045bc6a7 A former soldier who served this country, he was left destitute, eating sardines from a can and keeping warm by visiting his local library. He had to pull his own teeth after being barred from NHS treatment. He returned to Jamaica where he died on 29 March. Despicable legacy of this Government.

1 pointI've been advised against it my entire childhood but I'd be willing to get a train down to London to meet a bunch of strangers I've met over the internet, who are more than likely triple my age.
