Nothing proves the Trump administration is made of mean whims based on lies better than a president who is murdering people in boats "because I am so strongly against drug trafficking" pardoning someone who trafficked more drugs than a hundred fishing boats could carry.

The FBI spent a million dollars redacting powerful men's names from the Epstein files. The victims? Twenty-eight names in one document alone unredacted, exposed, hunted down by reporters in front of their children. Privacy, it seems, is reserved for those who can afford to return the favor.

Someone is making an ad with a montage of Trump verbally attacking journalists, right? (Ideally going back to Trump 1.0.) That should basically play on repeat from now until next November. I am so sick of this

Zia Yusuf says non-UK nationals should “bear the brunt of difficult choices” in the budget. This might sound appealing to some as a slogan, but in reality, millions of those foreign nationals are spouses, parents, colleagues and friends who have EU settled status and have made their lives here.

Farage says his main takeaway from the budget is what he calls an "exodus" of wealthy and/or entrepreneurial people from the UK will increase. This is a point he makes pretty often. It seems to be his main economic message.

Nigel Farage is holding a post-budget press conference and his sidekick is Zia Yusuf. Yusuf does very much feel like the shadow (shadow) chancellor, rather than Richard Tice, who had been the party’s main voice on economics.
