I’ve been consistently critical of @RishiSunak (and am still amazed he did so little for most vulnerable in his spring statement) but thrilled by today. The Conservative Party’s best tradition is its one nation tradition and it’s looking MUCH healthier today.

A temporary Energy Profits Levy will help pay for this support and promote investment in our economy. https://t.co/b2StuU1Gf4

The Police Timeline of the Texas School Shooting Has a Lot of Holes - Vice

“1st acknowledge the brave men and women of law enforcement,” not condolences to the family first. Also, the cops engaged the shooter before he entered the school, and they are still alive? Finally, cops went in and pulled their own kids out during the active shooter threat. WTF? pic.twitter.com/4okN01jGjq

At least one additional kid died directly because the cops were incompetent.

“When the cops came, the cop said: 'Yell if you need help!' And one of the persons in my class said 'help.' The [shooter] overheard and he came in and shot her," the boy said. https://t.co/T89PC9ljcH pic.twitter.com/YMwah3X7ar

AOC claims 'white supremacy' is to blame for 'domestic terrorism' after Uvalde shooting - Post Millenial

As we grieve the children of Uvalde today, we should take time to recognize that two years have passed since the murder of George Floyd under the knee of a police officer. His killing stays with us all to this day, especially those who loved him.
