The lack of interest from the media in Fromage's murky finances and spivvy evasions (and before that in Boris Johnson's ever-iffy financial arrangements) contrasts rather strongly with their beady-eyed obsession with the finances of Labour politicians - especially female ones like Rayner and Reeves.

Still, must be some comfort to know that their defeat was down to the media, and not their shite policies.

Sadly for Farage, being a decent orator isn't quite enough - you also need to say something worth listening to.

Interesting that even the far right sometimes apologise for racist remarks. But if this is what they really believe surely their racism is something they should be proud of.

All a surprise to those of us in Europe who thought the White House would be some sort of national monument and protected. But the president can just change it however they like? Is this possible?

Of course it is. But people are willing to accept a lower standard of living if it means being out of the EU.
