KARL: The president claims that Thanksgiving costs are down 25%. Does he know that's not true?

HASSETT: Well if you look at Walmart--

KARL: Wait a minute. I've gotta stop you. The Walmart package this year contains much less than the one last year. That's why the price is less.

I’m still struggling with the fact that ICE “brown shirts” went to a taco shop and thought they would get served.

F that!

Blowing up boats & murdering the occupants is highly illegal.

Standard practice is Stop, Search & Seize, not murder without legal representation.

I hope every Labour MP considering whether to support Shabana Mahmood's asylum plans remembers Nigel Farage's assessment that the “Home Secretary sounds like a Reform supporter.”

If they support them they will too.

NOT DISCUSSED NEARLY ENOUGH THIS WEEK:

Trump’s all over the Epstein files so he’s having Venezuelans killed as a distraction. Because of these crimes against humanity, a 4-star Admiral resigned and the British, the Dutch, and the Colombians are no longer sharing intel with the USA.

Labour policy is being celebrated by Tommy Robinson.

That's it.

That's all you ever need to say to explain who Labour are.

People on the 'far' Left want Healthcare, Housing and good wages for all.

People on the Far Right want to deport or exterminate all the groups they don't like.

Not the same.

These are now straight down the line Reform policies. No pretence at them being anything else and now supported by Tommy Robinson.

I don’t support Reform and so now, after 50 years, I cannot support Labour.

For Shabana Mahmood to attack some of the most cruelly treated people in the world as having won a "golden ticket" because they manage to get to and claim asylum in Britain is unforgiveable.

A new, far right, low for which I can think of no precedent, by any UK Government.

Reform UK performed a huge policy U-turn by ditching most of the 90 billion in tax cuts they promised voters.

You can’t trust a Reformer.

I do hope Labour back benchers give Mahmood the slow hand clap tomorrow and then tell the whips to sit down and shut up
Dear Mahmood/Labour,

Once the strutting fascist, Yaxley Lennon, is taking credit for your policies, you must know you’ve completely lost your way. You need to get your head out of your arse and your account off X.

Yours
The real silent (fair-minded and ignored) majority of the UK
Tommy Robinson is claiming credit for the language/policy being used by the Labour government (about deporting people found to be refugees once their home country is deemed safe)
