Meiselas: This guy's a con artist. He's a fraud. He's quite literally a criminal. A felon. He lies. He destroys people's lives. He's a rug puller. 'Look, $23 trillion! Dividend checks are right around the corner! I'm gonna make you so rich!'
It is demented and it is manipulative and it is abusive.

I will never vote for Labour or any other political party that has such immigrant policies as those announced yesterday. I don't know the Lib Dem stance or that of Polansky's Greens, but I am hopeful they have maintained their moral compass. @zackpolanski.bsky.social @eddavey.libdems.org.uk
