It's actually amazing to hear so many wrong takes in one 52 second clip.

So we'll be quick, too:
-Trump can't be elected again
-Every president should divest from their business interests
-Pass this congressional stock trading ban

Only on p.8 (plenty of good stuff already), and I’ve just read: β€œBritain imagined that it was different, as it always does, but it was not”, and that is a sentence for the ages

That's the decrease in the annual number of single-use plastic bags in the UK since a 5p charge started 10 years ago (it's now 10p)

Not all environmental problems are that easy to tackle, but change is possible

Epping area, unfortunately, has a long history of attracting the far right. There were BNP councillors in the 2000s and there's been trouble long before this latest round.

Are those extremists "ordinary people"? Nope.

Do they represent the majority of others in the area? Nope.
