Healthcare in Greenland is publicly funded, free at the point of use, and despite geographical challenges considered very good.
Healthcare costs in the USA are extortionate and responsible for 60% of all US bankruptcies.
So maybe Denmark should be sending hospital ships the other way.
Has Nigel Farage considered that instead of doing daft publicity stunts in the Chagos islands he could go to Clacton and DO SOME ACTUAL WORK for a change?!!!
Dominic Cummings was always an absolute arsehole.
The Conservative right loves to talk up imagined genius among their ranks when in truth there's nothing there but attitude, flex, and pose. Mogg, Johnson, Gove, Cummings. All tiresome little nobodies trotting out rehashed nonsense. Often nasty.
Nigel Farage went to Dulwich College which when he attended was more expensive than Eton
He earns £1.5m a year, 92% of which comes from dodgy donations
His girlfriend pays £885,000 in cash to buy houses but she's a waitress.
He's not a 'working man' he's very rich and corrupt
The thing I'm "stunned" about is why this isn't the biggest domestic news item on every flipping platform

Zack Polanski, "The four wealthiest people in this country have more wealth than 20 million people"
"Inequality in our society is absolutely huge"
"We need to be taxing the super rich"
What could have been.

Polanski expertly dismantling the "rich people will move if we tax them" narrative, while Denham nimbly demonstrates how very patriotic such people are.
I called this out on #BBCQT last night and I'm calling it out again now.
He is gaslighting a nation.
Ten percent of Gazans have been killed or wounded — mostly women, children, & the elderly.
The U.S. has sent $22 billion taxpayer dollars to facilitate Netanyahu's slaughter.
This ceasefire must hold, the hostages must be freed, aid must flow and this horrific war must end.
It is embarassing not to see the BBC pulling up Reform leaders claiming that Nathan Gill was just some fan who got photos taken with Farage - he was an MEP for them & their leader in Wales while taking cash from Russia to act against the UK! Literally the very basics of your job to point this out
EXCLUSIVE: The BBC has drawn up plans to win over Reform voters by changing its news and drama output.
BBC Director General Tim Davie and other execs discussed altering "story selection" in order to win the "trust" of supporters of Nigel Farage

Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer. In his first teaching document Thursday, Leo confirms that he is in perfect lockstep with Pope Francis on matters of social injustice.

I sometimes worry I exaggerate the collective madness of our media but the people who cheered Brexit, Boris Johnson & Liz Truss's mini-budget are now applauding Kemi Badenoch's speech. 'Parallell universe' doesn't come close. I suppose her not falling over is a win of sorts for them at the moment.
“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”
“Because that’s what they are”
@vicderbyshire.bsky.social asks Lord Heseltine about remarks he made at Conservative Party Conference.
#Newsnight
For the first time since April, Nigel Farage has declared his income from second jobs. I've not entered it into our system yet, but this will definitely take him over £1million in additional earnings since the election
"15 years ago, Polish workers came here to find opportunity. Now Poland is growing twice as fast as we are," says Kemi Badenoch.
Any ideas what may have happened in the interim?
Public Services don't work, because then you have to pay for Private ones that do.
People really need to understand that this isn't an error, the Private owners pay the politicians to make sure the Public Services don't work.
The reality of post-Brexit sovereignty.
