Kamala Harris: Don't vote for that guy, he's going to impose massive tariffs. They'll crash the markets and kill the economy.
Trump: I think massive tariffs are great so I'm doing it.

Bill Ackman: Nobody could foresee massive tariffs.

Here's a 🎶 twist on Coldplay's thumping #VivaLaVida we're calling "Puppets on a Kremlin String?"

It reflects on the grotesque media spectacle hosted by #Trump & #Vance yesterday at the White House. In solidarity with Zelensky & Ukraine.

They really, really need to pin this on Farage. When you think of the 'big beasts' of Brexit bollocks, there's not really anyone else left in the game so it should be quite easy.
YouGov find just 30% of people think we were right to leave the EU. The lowest number yet.

Just 10% of 18-24 year olds think it was the right decision.
