Is the BBC not embarrassed to run a lead item criticising Rachel Reeves for “lying to the British people about the state of the public finances” on the Weekend News, followed by an item where Marco Rubio is praised for his “positioning” of the US/Russia-led Ukrainian peace deal?!

One man is standing up for the rule of law in Britain. His reward is to be savagely attacked by right wing think tanks, newspapers & politicians. They understand where the battle against populism is taking place. And they've marshalled their forces accordingly.

Trump can’t handle the faintest criticism so, when he hears that Zelensky should have been invited, he lashes out saying “He started it”. When Zelensky mentions the disinformation that feeds Trump, Trump lashes out again.
A monstrous spoiled brat wrecking the world with his dull-witted vengefulness.

To the right-wing pundits crowing over Vance's speech: if you are really "less worried" about a dictator-state that's invaded its neighbour, killed tens of thousands of people, reduced cities to rubble & engaged in mass rape and child abduction, than you are about "wokery", then you are truly lost.

Sobering discussion on Today of the tech billionaires jostling to buy influence with Trump, so they can gut the regulation of their industries.
It's plutocratic feudalism, with tech-barons fighting to control the court.
The long project to bring economic power under democratic control is in ruins.
