trump once again praising Putin, but not a nice word for Zalenski, trying to make it look like it was half Ukraines fault for being attacked by Russia! Also take note, no red carpet for Zalenski, but one for Putin in Alaska? Trump is a Russian asset, there is little doubt at this point!

Voting for Reform, Labour or Tory is like a turkey voting for Christmas, popping out to buy a basting brush, bookmarking a recipe, shoving a lemon up its arse, peeling potatoes, opening the oven, hopping onto the top shelf & believing it when you promise not to turn the heat on as you slam the door.
