El Partido Laborista calificó de ‘descarado’ al ministro principal del SNP, John Swinney, por atribuirse el mérito cuando fue el resultado de la visita del rey a EE. UU.

• Un tribunal estatal de Pensilvania ordenó a los funcionarios electorales que tracen un nuevo mapa del Congreso antes de junio de 2026, al dictaminar que el actual mapa respaldado por los republicanos diluía ilegalmente la fuerza electoral de las comunidades negras y latinas en Filadelfia y Pittsburgh.
• El juez determinó que los distritos existentes concentraban a los votantes de minorías en un puñado de escaños demócratas “seguros”, limitando su influencia en los distritos competitivos vecinos y violando las protecciones constitucionales estatales para una representación igualitaria.
• La decisión amenaza las esperanzas republicanas de mantener una estrecha mayoría en la Cámara de Representantes en 2026 y podría obligar a la legislatura a un proceso de redistribución de distritos supervisado por el tribunal si los legisladores no logran acordar un mapa de reemplazo.
El gobernador y el Attorney General del estado se movilizan para posponer las primarias de mitad de mandato de 2026 apenas un día después de que el fallo de la Supreme Court desmantelara la Voting Rights Act
Louisiana pospone las primarias mientras los estados se apresuran a rediseñar los distritos tras el fallo de la Supreme Court
Aquí hay más de esa declaración de la Attorney General de Louisiana, Liz Murrill, y del gobernador republicano Jeff Landry:
La histórica victoria de ayer en la Supreme Court para Louisiana tiene una consecuencia inmediata para el Estado. La Supreme Court suspendió anteriormente una injunction contra la aplicación por parte del Estado del Congressional map actual. Por orden de la Court, sin embargo, esa stay terminó automáticamente con la decisión de ayer. En consecuencia, el Estado tiene prohibido actualmente llevar a cabo elecciones al Congreso bajo el Congressional map actual. Estamos trabajando junto con la Legislatura y la oficina del Secretary of State para desarrollar un camino a seguir.

HAYI se ha responsabilizado de una serie de incidentes contra sitios judíos, pero los investigadores afirman que la última reivindicación podría ser oportunista en lugar de estar respaldada por el Estado
La policía trata el apuñalamiento de dos hombres en Golders Green como terrorismo
Pasó poco más de una hora después del horrible ataque con cuchillo contra dos personas judías británicas en Golders Green, al norte de Londres, para que un grupo terrorista vinculado a Irán, Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia (HAYI), reivindicara la autoría en un canal de Telegram.

La disputa se hizo pública esta semana cuando el presidente Volodymyr Zelenskyy dijo que “otro buque” que transportaba grano “robado por Rusia” había llegado a un puerto en Israel y se disponía a descargar.

El fallo supone un revés para la Office for Students tras haber emitido una multa por la gestión de las protestas por las opiniones de una profesora sobre los derechos trans. Sussex University ha anulado una multa de £585,000 impuesta por el organismo de control de la educación superior de England después de que el High Court rechazara las alegaciones de que la universidad había infringido las normativas de libertad de expresión relacionadas con su exprofesora Kathleen Stock. El fallo es un golpe perjudicial para la credibilidad y la gestión de la Office for Students, después de que el tribunal rechazara la prolongada investigación del regulador sobre la gestión de Sussex de las protestas dirigidas a Stock por sus opiniones sobre los derechos de las personas transgénero y su posterior dimisión en 2021.

Alan Johnson and David Blunkett say Tory proposal for a privileges committee inquiry is a ‘nakedly political stunt’Good morning. Kemi Badenoch is trying to get Lindsay Hoyle, the speaker, to give MPs a vote on a proposal to get the Commons privileges committee to investigate allegations that Keir Starmer lied to MPs in statements he made to them about the vetting of Peter Mandelson. Other opposition parties may be backing her, but we don’t know for sure because the process is relatively secret; MPs have to write a private letter to the speaker, who then decides whether this is a serious request that should be decided by the Commons as a whole, or a frivolous complaint that should be ignored. (We do know that Karl Turner has written to the speaker about this too, but only because he was daft enough to post his letter on social media last week.) Today we are likely to find out whether or not Hoyle is agreeing to a Commons vote.Boris Johnson was referred to the privileges committee over allegations that he lied to MPs about Partygate (allegations the committee concluded were justified). Badenoch wants to make the case that Starmer is just as dishonest as Johnson. He isn’t, by any stretch, and the claims that Starmer lied to MPs about Mandelson are spurious; they relate to contest intepretations of political language of the kind that are commonplace in parliamentary debate. But the fact that this has even become a live consideration for the speaker is a big win for the Tories.The fact that Kemi Badenoch has changed the accusations she is levelling against the PM on an almost daily basis as her claims have failed to stand up to scrutiny shows what this is really about. This is a nakedly political stunt with no substance ahead of the May elections.Any comparison with Boris Johnson is absurd. When parliament referred that matter to the privileges committee, a police investigation had directly disproved his categoric statements that he knew nothing about the breach of lockdown rules.I suppose our constituents might ask [if a privileges committee goes ahead], have we got the balance right between holding the government to account and seemingly squabbling amongst ourselves when there is so much else going on that perhaps parliament ought to be focusing on as well.I have to say, a really truthful position is, why the rush at the moment? Has it got anything to do with local elections? Continue reading...

Downing Street takes unusual step of releasing document ahead of PM’s Commons showdown over Mandelson scandalJudgment day for PM over Mandelson scandalGood morning. There are occasions when a prime minister wakes up knowing that how they perform in the Commons that day will decide whether or not they keep their job – but they are very, very rare. The best example in modern times is Margaret Thatcher on the day of the Westland debate, when she told staff she would still be in post that evening. Boris Johnson had multiple tricky encounters with MPs, but the most difficult – and the most important for his reputation- was the one before the privileges committee about claims that he lied about Partygate, and that came after he had resigned as PM. For James Callaghan, the confidence debate in 1979 was a terminal moment for his premiership, but that vote was not decided by what he said.There seems to be little chance that Keir Starmer may be finished off by what happens in the Commons today. Since the revelations in the Guardian last week about Peter Mandelson in effect failing security vetting for his appointment as ambassador to the US, despite Starmer repeatedly everyone that he was cleared, Labour MPs have not been calling his resignation. It seems unlikely that by 6pm tonight that will have changed. But many or most of them were already of the view that he is not the right person to lead them into the next general election, and the events of the past few days have firmed up that view.The Constitutional Reform and Governance Act 2010 (CRAG) does not prevent civil servants from informing ministers of UK Security Vetting recommendations. What CRAG says is that civil servants make decisions on vetting and clearance. But no law stops civil servants sensibly flagging UK security vetting recommendations, while rightly protecting detailed sensitive vetting information, to allow ministers to make judgments on appointments or on explaining matters to parliament. Continue reading...
