Massie: "The president has been saying this is a hoax. Well, he's just now decided to investigate a hoax, if it's a hoax. And I have another concern about these investigations he's announced. If they have ongoing investigations, those documents can't be released. So this might be a big smokescreen."

Has the Budget rumour-mill gone too far?
Excessive 'kite-flying' - leaking rumoured tax policies to test their reaction with the public - risks exacerbating market uncertainty.

A Labour Party has jettisoned plans to increase taxes on unearned income - disproportionately enjoyed by the wealthy - and is increasing them instead on the earned income of normal people. What a shocking indictment.

I think people are missing the point with this Epstein thing.
The question is not did he have sex with underaged girls. He did.
The question is not did he have illegal financial transactions with Epstein. He did.
The question is not did he serve as an asset and agent of Putin. He did.

One of the most maddening aspects of Trump’s deranged personality is what an abject coward he is & has always been. No public events today; hops on AF1 & flies down to Mar-a-Lago to hang out w/his fellow trash. He’s is in trouble and he will hide, that’s not a POTUS it’s a PAB.

"The reason why this is of concern, is—he's the president of the United States, he's been found in another case by a civil jury to have been liable for sexually abusing a woman in a department store, he's a convicted felon, and he's had dozens of women accuse him of sexual abuse."

Why all the talk about leadership challenges misses the point that the biggest problem facing this Government is not just a lack of leadership but a lack of clear ideas about what a Labour Government is actually for
Until that changes, the question of who sits in No 10 will remain a hollow one.

Of course, the press and TV are anti Labour but many of the government's problems are real and of their own making.

I love Wag the Dog, it’s one of my favorite movies, not least because it was made as a Clinton joke and works even better as a Bush joke. The “We are the World” dig holds up, as does Dustin Hoffman’s Robert Evans impression.
But it’s about faking a war as a distraction, not a real diversionary war.
