I'm not sure why the news media - LBC - Sheila Fogarty - gave any airtime to Farage on his fantasies. The latest one is the Noble peace price for Trump.

I might be in an entirely different country (ie. London) but seems that the only thing at boiling point is the heads of the people who keep telling each other the country is at boiling point.

Just catching up on this: "After a judge blocked a Trump exec order, Elon Musk shared a post with his more than 200 million followers on X that included the judge’s daughter’s name, photo & job, allegedly at the Dept of Education." Now he's also backing calls to impeach judges that rule against him.

My husband, as a disabled person, is a Medicaid recipient.
The number on the left is how much his upcoming surgery (which he needs to BREATHE NORMALLY) would cost w/o Medicaid. The number on the right is what it’s costing us.
The end of Medicaid would kill disabled folks.

Let's be clear about what happened today: Donald Trump tried to cut a giant chunk of government funding — hurting preschoolers, seniors, and veterans.
Trump's illegal shutdown is blocked for now — but don't forget that he tried to cut programs supporting working families.

not to dismiss the whole thing, but if I wanted to grow my own food I'd have become a farmer, the literal point of civilisation was that everyone didnt have to grow their own food
For the love of God, if I see one more ',grow your own food' hot take.
Sure, for occasional fresh herbs or a few veggies.
Nobody is growing to their entire caloric intake in an apartment or on a balcony.
