Farage’s local refuk: Reform’s Warwickshire leader Finch wants to scrap school transport for SEND kids, forcing them to walk miles. Parents call it cruel and heartless, another example of Reform’s nasty streak, punishing the vulnerable to save a few quid. #ukpolitics

Lying fagman Farage in his relentless pursuit to feed his narcissism fabricated polling data about who’s the most trusted politician on the economy. In reality, 53% of people distrust him, worse than Badenoch, Stride, Polanski, and Davey. In net terms, both Polanski and Davey rank ahead of him.

Newsom: "It's not about rule of law anymore. It's rule of Don. He's choosing which court decisions he agrees with. He's quite literally running an extortion racket. He's doing it with some of the most powerful corporate leaders. What does everything have in common? Tariffs. They're about leverage"

This is astonishingly evil. Donald Trump wants to end the American dream of home ownership. With a 50 year mortgage, most home buyers will never pay off their homes, will remain in debt to the banks and be forced to work for the rest of their lives.

Today in the UK is Remembrance Day, when we honour and thank those who defended us against fascism in World War II.
The day also commemorates the First World War. This senseless slaughter had no such clear objective. Few came home. Wilfred Owen, himself killed in 1918, wrote of them...
