It's a fantastic book - download it - buy it - or just borrow it and read it. The Dust Bowl Triolgy are worth the effort.

An event which is quite literally put on by the Mayor of London.

This year Sadiq said: "The Passion of Jesus welcomes thousands of Londoners of all backgrounds to Trafalgar Square to enjoy a live reenactment of the story of Jesus’s final days and resurrection."

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge?

This is hideous. And close to inexplicable unless Trump is doing what Putin tells him to.

£14.9bn was spent on unusable or fraudulent PPE deals.

Nearly £10bn of this was profit.

Not a penny has been recovered.
