Time has proved Trump's Tapeworms....Farage, Truss, Hannan, Tice etc 100% wrong on the US
Time proved them 100% wrong on Brexit.
And 100% wrong on Putin too.
How anyone gives these sycophantic rectal parasites any credibility at all is totally beyond me

Some Tories, after 14 years in power…
…are saying nothing now works in the UK.
So they’re joining Reform, so they can complain about the Tory record - and you can vote them right back in, in a few years’ time, under new anti-Tory branding.

Completely inept.
The sooner Amorim sods off back to Portugal the better.
Team plays well with 4 at back so he changes it back to his useless system that hasn't worked from day one. Not a fan of continually changing managers but enough is enough.
