Speaking outside his chateau in France, former Brexit Party and UKIP MEP Coburn answered "no" when a BBC journalist asked him whether he had ever been paid to give a speech to promote pro-Russian campaigners.

"His chateau in France" - Is everything you ever needed to know about anybody involved in UKIP or Brexit.
Russian puppet if ever there was.
I remember not throwing anything at him when he was campaigning on the high street around Indy time.

A female reporter asks Trump about Epstein. He says, β€œQuiet, piggy.”

When Khashoggi’s murder is brought up in his meeting with the Saudi Prince who had him killed (according to the CIA), Trump says, β€œThings happen.”

You have a monster at the helm, America. You are in terrible danger.

To all of the Labour MPs who aren’t opposing the obscene changes that their leaders have made to the UK’s asylum policy, who aren’t hammering Starmer’s door or resigning from the party in protest… shame on you. When you tolerate Labour having more in common with the Nazis or Reform, shame. On. You.
