I’m so fed up with the media stirring up the political temperature. The bottled up excitement in the reporters’ voices, predicting doom and disaster is infuriating.

I’m no sympathiser of the former prince or mandelson, BUT- how come that so far the only people paying for being friends of Epstein are Brits?

Farage lied when he said he was too ill to appear for the BBC interview on Sunday.
The Heartland Institute, whose party he attended instead, doesn't believe in tobacco harms, climate change and seeks the dismantling of the NHS.
Be warned. If you care

So the idiot is on stage now at Davos drivellling on about how great he is and whining on about how rare earths are not rare and how he had a landslide victory (false) and how America won WW2 - big- and of course Greenland. How can America let this demented Buffon carry on representing them?

Wow, I bet the Greenlanders can’t wait for the American lifestyle, they’ll really enjoy being made bankrupt by medical bills.

The worker who called Trump a “pedophile protector” has been suspended.
He says he has “definitely no regrets whatsoever,” adding: “I don’t feel as though fate looks upon you often, and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity. And today I think I did that.” wapo.st/4sG38CD

Get the EPSTEIN FILES OUT TO STOP ALL THIS VIOLENCE. When Trump's videos of having sex with children, no one will support him! He is a sick pedophile.

The Nobel committee have said that the peace prize as not be transferred. He can certainly have the book/certificate or whatever, but it will always be in her name.
Last week in the UK, a bloke who kept turning up at military events in a bogus admiral’s uniform wearing a bunch of other people’s medals was convicted of an actual crime. And rightly so.
unspeakably pathetic stuff from Trump here as he says he'd be honored to accept María Corina Machado's Nobel Prize if she wants to give it up to him

Many Americans believe they are the most free people in the world. When challenged by one guy what freedom I had that Americans didn’t, I immediately responded “freedom over my own body”.
“Trumpism on the right in the UK is growing and festering”.
“The American right think Britain is run by Muslims and communists”.

It’s about time we stopped hearing about what Führage thinks. He’s bought a political party (PLC) and has a loud braying voice. He’s given up on attending parliament because he’s upset he can’t spout his views when he wants, but has to follow the rules. Just another over entitled playground bully.
Nigel Farage is still in denial about Brexit - and is out of step with the public.
Our polling shows that 62% of Brits now think Brexit has been a failure.
A new Deltapoll Survey for the Mirror shows that 58% would vote to rejoin.

He has no morals, so he’s going to carry on like a Roman demagogue. Until something stops him.

What cowards- don’t resign, FIGHT for what is RIGHT.
Record-breaking retirements in Congress. That’s not “frustration,” that’s people seeing the building on fire and heading for the exits.
Expect more retirements in January.

I totally agree with that MP.
One MP said "Parliament has nothing to learn from a serial liar, cheat, womaniser and bankrupt. We don’t need Trump to lecture and dictate his unilateral terms to our elected representatives." 👇
