The stupidity of Farage’s latest ‘plan’ is staggering.
Claiming they’d save British taxpayers money by ripping up international commitments and starting a trade war with Europe is the puerile foot-stamp of a party that uses prejudice as policy. Ruinous nonsense.

Putin has a picture of TACO giving oral sex to another man. The email implies Bill Clinton, but it really doesn’t matter who it is.
That’s a kind of Kompromat that would render ANYONE ineligible to hold a security clearance.

It is something brought up by the media in a question. It is likely an attempt by someone with a long memory to create a story based on a comment about jewellery from a government minister 26 years ago.

I am utterly sick of the media and their constant sniping, gossip and fear mongering about our very competent government and PM. But really I'm even more sick of the people who soak it up and spread it - those are the people who will ultimately usher in a far right party.

This is just theater for MAGA. If Trump REALLY wanted the Epstein Files released, he doesn't need Congress. He could just call Pam Bondi and order her to release them. He hasn't. And won't. He and Pam have cooked up a new "ongoing investigation" that she can use as an excuse not to release evidence.
