Rob Reiner was a genius. He brought joy to this world, and in decades to come, people will still be laughing, crying, and quoting along to his incredible oeuvre.
Donald Trump is a nobody. History will remember him as a villain and a nasty, dim-witted, unloved one at that.
There's your difference

So now the Express are 1000% behind Farage and his cult of failed Tories as the only ones that can save us....
If you learn one thing from the last 15 years - learn how wrong they always are

Here I am with Reform councillor Andrew Harrison, who was one of a group of people fined over £1m for employing illegal workers. Like all good patriots, he hates immigrants, apart from the ones he can exploit for profit.

Failure on everything. And somehow the Shadow Justice Secretary tried to claim all the problems started just 14 months ago!

Only Russian soldiers can "go home."
The Ukrainian Defense Forces are at home. They fight to defend their homes, families, land.
When the "Both sides just need to stop the war" statement sounds, this is, in fact, a legitimization of annexation, when an aggressor is made equal with a victim.

1 month to go until Reform UK Welsh Leader Nathan Gill is sentenced on 8 charges of accepting Russian Bribes.
Nigel Farage thinks he can distance himself from his ‘loyal’ colleague of 20 years.
Let’s not forget that Farage was pushing the same Pro-Russian agenda.
