Let me get this right. A known con man is saying he's going to build hospitals that will keep people alive forever, but he's not going to let them be purely for the elite. Out of the goodness of his heart, anyone (with enough money) will be able to use them.

What could go wrong?

This is good (for once). Farage has to stay front & centre for almost 4 more years & I don’t see how he can without edging ever closer to the National Front credo that’s always animated him. For now, Starmer must wait until he’s *blatantly* racist before using the term. Otherwise it loses power 1/2

Why Keir Starmer can no longer cling to the 'fiction' of a special UK/US relationship European leaders, including from the UK, have swiftly condemned Donald Trump’s claims Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky is a β€œdictator”, but what does this mean for the region, and future relations...

"At what point does Starmer no longer cling to the fiction that the interests of Britain and the US are always aligned?"

For the first time in history, could the US become a "strategic adversary" to the UK?

Politicians who deliberately lie could be forced from office in Wales Proposals designed to restore trust in politics would also criminalise the making of false statements to win votes

I've often felt that politicians who deliberately lie and mislead voters should face stiff sanctions. Wales is leading the way.

One look at the impact involving the private sector has had on the NHS will make any sane person realise it is the private sector that is doing the bloodsucking rather than the public. But, hey, the torygraph never lets facts get in the way of promoting its agenda.

The rockets at SpaceX are exploding.

The equipment from Starlink is making its way to Russia to be used against our ally.

The stock at Tesla is tanking. Cybertruck is a joke.

Twitter is going out of business.

And yet . . . Elon Musk thinks he has the time/talent to run the entire US government.

So many traditional news sources and financial consultants reporting on events in the US as if things were basically still normal. Or maybe they fear what would happen if they became outspoken. Whatever, things are far from normal.

NO Nigel Farage - the vaccine rollout was not helped by Brexit
YouTube video by Peter Stefanovic NO Nigel Farage - the vaccine rollout was not helped by Brexit

If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it

We cannot allow them to rewrite history.

If you agree share this FACT CHECK widely

It's classic scapegoating and deflection. Get folks to hate drag queens, migrants, lgbt folks, single mothers, the disabled. They can be blamed for the working folks' troubles. Neatly deflecting attention away from the most wealthy as they rape the country of its remaining middle class wealth.
