Her lips are stamped with the word โPARDONโ in bold block letters, functioning as both a gag and a symbolic label. Her earrings resemble stylized vulvas, reinforcing themes of sexual exploitation and complicity. The cartoon satirizes Trumpโs fantasy of control, suggesting he envisions pardoning Maxwellโwho was convicted for trafficking underage girls for Jeffrey Epsteinโas a way to obscure his involvement in the Epstein files.

"Trumpโs churlish speechโand his faulty finger-pointingโonly further display how isolating his presidency has been on an international level. Trumpโs constant hammering of the U.N. may cause countries that once depended on us as allies to go elsewhere, or strengthen their relationships without us."

Farage is so determined to suck up to the Trump administration that he's willing to put the nation's risk at health through dangerous insinuation. That's what is really going on here and its disgusting.

They all pay British taxes and have had little or no unexplained absences to date. Sick leave for them is extremely low. As far as I am aware, none of them is claiming benefits for dependants. These diligent people provide compassionate care for their clients, living with them for a few weeks at a time. During the pandemic they were responsible for ensuring zero transmission of the virus to people in their care. I feel utterly ashamed that many of them will be reading about Nigel Farage's plan on their various social media platforms this morning. Chrstina Sell Managing director, Arbour
Our politics and media have become viciously obsessed with immigration. Farage has made sure of it. And in that obsession, theyโve all lost sight of the people they target. Fellow human beings trying to live and belong somewhere.

Ed Davey, "It's so frustrating, so infuriating that Nigel Farage gets such an easy ride from the media"
"As he lies, as he divides, the BBC and others given Farage so much time and attention"
"But they never hold him to account for all the damage he has already done"
"The damage of Brexit"
Liberal Democrat Health Spokesperson Helen Morgan:
"Nigel Farage wants to impose Trump's dangerous anti-science agenda here in the UK. Peddling this kind of nonsense is irresponsible and wrong.
"It seems Farage would rather see pregnant women suffer in pain than stand up to his idol Donald Trump."
We canโt fix the NHS without tackling cancer waits. Supporting world-class research, and welcoming the experts who drive it, is part of that solution.

If, over the next six months, he's the media's go-to person for a response to whatever idiocy Farage is suggesting, and he's also talking about positive Lib Dem proposals, his position is safe. If not, he may face a leadership challenge.
