As with all the daily dramas that play out in our media, the PM’s damned if does, he’s damned if he doesn’t. Also, having so-called print journalists and pundits on studio news discussions is just more guaranteed drama-making instead of expert, fact-based discussion. It’s exhausting and unhealthy.

Javier Milei had to beg a bail-out and already needs another. Argentina's economy is in a tailspin. Gov't bonds and peso in freefall. People starving, throwing rocks at him.
Farage last year: "He's amazing. It's Thatcherism on steroids. Cutting and slashing expenditure. That's leadership."
