Trump is the only living entity that can ramble on for 2 hours about unrelated and useless shit. Earlier he was ranting about Biden till Carney told him to STFU and sit down.

There's no placating the Brexiters, no reasoning with them, no basic comprehension or adulthood. You can't debate papers behaving like the Sun or the Mail this morning. There's nothing to debate with. They view all trading relations with Europe as humiliation.

My mortgage tripled after the Liz Truss budget. That for me was an increase of £164 per month! It recently came down by around £15 over the past few months. The fact Truss is still free rather than locked up is just a piss take!

This thread on the Rwanda scheme….
What a disgraceful abuse of power by a viciously useless Tory ‘govt’.
A total moral collapse, an abdication of all responsibility, a legislative and financial disaster zone…
And all done with a highly dubious mandate earned from whipping up prejudice.
For shame.

The Illegal Migration Act was so wildly expensive because the govt effectively barred itself from deciding asylum claims from small boat migrants, but couldn't send them to Rwanda
It was, and remains, the most insane law I have ever seen. This is from May:
