Our govt and the Tories say they want a deal with Trump to avoid tariffs (and to try to assert some desperate Brexit ‘benefit’)
Not sure it’s ever been quite so screamingly obvious that the deal we need is with the EU and not this vengefully deranged and dangerous MAGA outfit.

This is truly the most deranged and inept administration in history. Their evilness is only outdone by their incompetence. Let’s get this straight:

In the years since, the United States spent roughly $10 trillion on the so-called "war on terror."
Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds in climate, health care, housing, and education?

Farage did exactly the same thing as an MEP. He never put in the work he was paid for in Brussels. Back then, he said it was because he didn't respect the EU and wanted to see it collapse. So does that mean he doesn't respect Clacton or the UK now? Perhaps he wants us to be taken over by the USA?
