Does trump accept intelligence briefings? I thought he had rejected all that in favour of what his gut tells him

What? Like shut down the free press and independent courts and threaten the opposition? I mean, yes, I guess that reduces your "problems" as an office holder

Here they attack the centre left for not being pure enough, and let the fascists come through the middle and win elections. A lot of the left would rather be in principled opposition than in power.

Sounds refreshing coming from the left because normally in this country at least they spend more time and energy attacking the centre left than they do the fascists.

Keep trump in the ballot. I like the result.

Nigel Farage is now talking about cutting the minimum wage for young people.

Once again, instead of going after the super-rich, he attacks ordinary workers.

So much for being a man of the people.

You shouldn't be so judgy of monarchies anyway. Norway, Sweden, Holland, Denmark are all monarchies. And they are way better countries to live in than America and its dying (if it ever existed) republic.

Hope so. But will they show it at the ballot box?

That is insane. The legislature has basically decided it is just going to terminate itself.

Americans already spend a LOT of time eating saturated fats. Where does the secretary of health suggest these extra hours to eat yet more of them are going to come from?

I can't believe they then jump out of their armoured vehicle to manhandle and harass her. What are they thinking? Do that kind of work and you can expect a few people to say nasty words to you sometimes. It's like they are 12.

If the American "revolutionaries" were so against monarchy, why did they create the office of a President with powers that far exceeded those of Britain's constitutional monarchy at the time, whose powers had been confined and curtailed by the Bill of Rights 1689 and the Act of Settlement of 1701?

Congratulations to every American tax payer! You now own $20 billion in Argentinian pesos. Hang onto them for 5 years and there is a good chance they will be worth 45 cents.

At this rate they're going to start serving woke brewed coffee from Brazil after the service rather than good old freeze dried instant in a polystyrene cup, the traditional way. It's appalling.

My son is in the Royal Air force. He is sat right here and I just informed him. He is delighted. It almost matches the achievement of winning the Battle of Britain.

Good point. While it's a peacetime force there to posture then it's whites only. The moment it hots up then, well, South park the movie has it right

And he did. So it's maybe time to stop criticising and making a reform government more likely and do something constructive instead.

They were just so boring. And so average. Terrible monosyllabic interviews. Just dire

๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ we are a team. A collective. Rather than a bunch of whiney individuals. You have to pay to make the American players represent their country. Our players deliver that beating you're experiencing for free.

How's that fightback going? How much are these US players being paid to serve up this rubbish?

That's how essential it is to the right that Milei is seen as a success. He is their model around the world. Him and Orban. No expense will be spared to prop up their wretched and decaying regimes.

Definitely agree on the PR. But this demonstrates why Devon and much of the west country are different to the rest of the country. Cost of living and housing not among the top issues? That is just not representative

But they keep threatening to have people who talk about him fired. I'm confused
