We can all get things wrong, but if I had been this consistently and catastrophically wrong about such important issues I don't think I could carry on publishing my opinions every week.
I'd want to go away and think about how I'd so badly misunderstood the things I write about.

#Trump is, and always has been enabled. He’s always been, unfit for office. But rather than develop serious public policy, Congressional Republicans reached for the easy electoral solution of populism, with everyone paying the price.

That’s literally how the USA came to be….
President Trump, "We have to have Greenland.. Just because a boat went there 500 years ago doesn't give you title to property"

Another day where the media are going to discuss the strategic implications of Trump’s latest petulant outburst and not why the US, literally, has an octogenarian president with the temperament of spoilt a five year old.

I keep saying pretty much the same thing, basically - everyone needs to STOP RATIONALISING THIS BRAIN-DEAD DEGENERATE. Someone needs to initiate proceedings to stop #Trump.
Congressional Republicans, it’s over to you. For once, do your duty for your country.

In case you missed it, Nigel Farage said Reform would vote against scrapping the two-child benefit cap because some of the families who will benefit include people who are “foreign-born”.
Imagine being so racist that you would rather keep 450,000 children in poverty.
