How quickly can we forget Farage admitting (I'm not a supporter of Reform either) that his election pledge would have to be broken. And yet, the clamour is for Reeves to do exactly that, and then faux outrage that she's done that. The media has already forgotten Farage's comment yesterday

Bannon is a popularist selling attention. Saying outrageous comments get that attention. The majority of the public don't want Trump to get a third term

Half the food aid and no fuel into Gaza. One of Trumps redlines he agreed? Art of the Deal? #Gaza

Israeli defence minister Israel Katz issued a stark warning to Hamas where he said on X that β€œany delay or deliberate avoidance will be considered a gross violation of the agreement and will be responded to accordingly.” Hold your horses

Please stop Trump from waffling at the Knesset. Nurse the screens! It's a love in with Netanyahu - one, at least, of which is scheduled to go to the Hague and the International Criminal Court

Didn't Trump say he would resolve the sale of Tiktok in a matter of days/weeks/fortnights even?

We seriously have Marie Antoinette Trump.

Higher food prices, higher energy prices, higher medical costs, and the Queen builds a golden ballroom on the White House.

"If this LAST CHANCE agreement is not reached, all HELL, like no one has ever seen before, will break out against Hamas,” he wrote in a post on his Truth Social platform on Friday.
It's like he wants to rebuild Gaza...

Do you think that using the term Failocrats makes your argument stronger? Should that word really be in capitals to be 'on brand'?

Got told by a MAGA convert today that "inflation is zero" doesn't mean it is zero but unchanged. OK. This non-MAGA and independent article suggests to differ aje.io/rgs29g MAGA afficionadoes won't read it of course
