A strong refutation of the criticism that Mamdani was just good at social media. Sure, there were TikToks, but he spent most of his time on the streets of New York meeting people.

Angela Rayner accidentally pays less tax than she should have, resigns, and the media gives her hell.

The US deal is good work. Starmer acted to save British jobs. In exchange, he gave away almost nothing. After everything, Trump accomplished precisely fuck all. Both countries are still in a slightly worse place than they were when he came to power.

They can't actually reason or understand what they output, hence why hallucinations are inevitable.
