JUST IN: Mike Johnson plans to swear in Rep.-elect Matt Van Epps on Thursday β€” less than two days after he won the TN-07 special election.

As a reminder, it took Johnson 50 days to swear in Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva.

Hey America, if you were a Christian nation, you’d be feeding the poor, not yelling at them for using food stamps.

Update: Apologies I was due to be on Have I got News for You this week. We've now postponed until 2026.

To go on Question Time and speak up for migrants right now feels vital.

and therein lies the crux. Donny’s out of touch with reality, and he’s surrounded himself with equally out-of-touch cronies who tell him that everything is amazing β€” and why not? for Donny and his cronies, everything is amazing. not one of these obscenely wealthy fuckfaces ever worries about the price of anything. they don’t have to.

Reform accepted Β£9 million from a former Boris Johnson backer & crypto-multimillionaire.

Today, Nigel Farage postures as a righteous defender of the same democracy he actively undermines.

Democracy should never be for sale. It's time for a cap on politicalΒ donations.

Rachel Reeves says on Laura Kuenssberg that she's asking working people to pay a little bit more.

This was all under the cover of a made up "black hole" whilst refusing to tax the super rich.

This Labour Government showing again exactly who they are and who they serve.

Earlier this year I revealed that my investigators had uncovered a massive Epstein file at the Treasury Department containing bank records. They found over 4700 wire transfers totaling $1.1 BILLION in and out of his JP Morgan Chase accounts alone.

New developments in my 3 year Epstein investigation, this time regarding JP Morgan Chase and its CEO, Jamie Dimon. This is a long thread, but worth sticking around for.

β€œBrexit was hugely divisive both politically and socially”

BBC Verify examines its impact including
4% reduction of UK economy and large increases in migration..

And the people who said that #Brexit would help UK prosper and fix our borders are still lying to you

Mark Thatcher is a convicted criminal who took huge bungs from the Saudis to grease the wheels of arms deals & tried to arrange a mercenary coup in Equatorial Guinea aimed at seizing control of its oil resources. So yes, of course he likes Farage & Reform.

The curse of Thatcherism was not just greed. It was short-termism disguised as freedom. Privatisation made millionaires from share prices and dividends, while leaving millions in cold, costly poverty. A quarter of every bill now feeds profit, not service.

As a former federal prosecutor who worked for DOJ for 25 years, I concur.

This is a red line moment of political abuse that cements the United States as a banana republic with better window dressing.
