While the king is already receiving expert care, his treatment will draw fresh attention to the long cancer waiting times in the state-run NHS, which is widely regarded by experts as being in crisis.

Nearly 300,000 people in the UK have paid for chemotherapy in the last five years.

Elon Musk has turned Twitter into a giant propaganda machine focused on reelecting Trump. That’s where all of this madness is headed.
Elon has only ramped up his toxic cocktail of racism and stupidity since I wrote this piece this morning.

In reality, the Biden administration deported 142,000+ immigrants last year -- a record number that Elon actually believes is a drop.

And he thinks they're all axe murderers, too.
