European leaders are uniting against Vance’s “weird” speech to them where he attacked Europe and said “There’s a new sheriff in town.”

These little MAGATS don’t realise that outside America’s borders everybody laughs at their embarrassing swaggering and strutting.

when writing about the rise of British populism it’s worth bearing in mind that voters still prefer Starmer to Farage…

Broadcasters who repeated this obvious bollocks are not required to make any correction or apologise to their listeners/viewers. And I saw at least two columnists making hay with it. They too will retract nothing.
The @Telegraph, @thetimes, @MailOnline & @TheSun publish corrections to their scaremongering on undocumented migrants in London.

Imagine between them the reach & power of these papers.
The fact is they are using that power to instil Trumpist hate & we are ill-equipped to resist.

- a quarter of all England’s farmland belongs to just 2,500 owners

"Some 56% of farmland bought in 2023 was sold to landowners who were not working farmers.

The revenue per acre is too low to warrant the purchase, unless you are extremely wealthy and are avoiding inheritance tax."

Noise in the billionaire press about inheritance tax changes hides a basic fact: the non-farming rich own too much land
