As usual BBC News, and especially Zurcher, is trying to find upsides for Trump (just as it does in the UK where everything is an "opportunity" for Farage and "a challenge" for Starmer). While, of course, neglecting to mention Homan's penchant for paper bags stuffed with $50k.

It's pretty f-ing rich of 2 tory MPs to whine about SEND provision when the previous tory administration in Leicestershire did as little as it could get away with. Now, suddenly, these guys are noticing?

No mention of the huge risks to Reform and Farage. No assessment of the toxic content of Braverman's speech or the cynicism of the move. No acknowledgment that Reform hit a poll ceiling and bounced down. Just gossip.

The scariest thing is, they know it's a lie and they don't care.
The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

Half the battle with this guy is just reiterating government can and already does good things that are so ubiquitous they’ve become invisible. He’s able to remind you in a way that you understand that good government can exist outside of a 24/7 vengeance operation, and in NYC already does.
