In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court sided with Trump to lift a lower court’s injunction that had restricted ICE’s ability to target people based on race, ethnicity, language, and occupation.

Rayner's replacement will show which way political wind is blowing in Labour bbc.com/news/articles/c0q701…

There's been a lot of people coming out to say that the next deputy leader has got to be A) a woman and B) northern. But I feel like this analysis misses the whole point of Angela Rayner. Yes she's a woman. Yes she's from the north. Yes she has an incredible back story. But she wasn't such an effective deputy leader just because of those things. Angela Rayner has a big personality. She doesn't talk or act like a politician. She's vaping and DJing and laughing and speaking her mind. As a politician, she's a great communicator and she's also a risk taker. In other words... she was the perfect foil to Keir Starmer. And that's what you want above all from a deputy leader... someone who brings something to the team that they don't already have. So there are lots of names who on paper might have the same qualities as Angela Rayner... gender, geography, or whatever... but in reality, are nothing like her at all.

Congress, executive, scrutiny of legislation

Power of US judiciary v power of IS Executive

Y12 - this is very useful for federalism and free speech/rights. A very useful (and memorable?!) case study!

President, Supreme Court, checks and balances

Power of PM
