The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

Chris Coons: "He's not listening to concerns about lowering costs. Instead he's worried about decorating his new Marie Antoinette ballroom or engaging in trying to figure out how to get his name on more statues and stadiums, or he's sitting across the table in the Oval Office with authoritarians."

It’s as if they think we’ve all been in a coma for the last 15 years, rather than watching the Tories smash it all up in front of us.
Very good on our ‘let’s-not-bother-with-right-wing-racism-or-Farage’s-corruption-and-let’s-blame-Labour-for-everything’ media.

The 'Great Noticing' Era
Ever since Labour came to power, the British media has started to notice a whole series of problems they spent the previous 14 years completely ignoring

USDA just released a statement saying they will issue full SNAP benefits tonight for everyone.
Meanwhile, the orange monster sent his lawyers to court today to file an appeal and request a stay of the judge’s ruling.
He was fine giving Argentina $40 billion, but wants Americans to starve.

Can we please not have Farage wriggle out of this one. His denial is not where this should end. He’s up to his grubby neck in dodgy shite. Beyond time our media stopped handing him free passes and started to properly scrutinise him.

Who better to complain about wasting money than the MP who claimed £30,000 from taxpayers for renting a flat while her husband owned one just a few minutes away?

A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK...
78% are murdered by a partner/ex
Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this
Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety
In fact, they voted against them...

The path from abusing foreigners to abusing the disabled is well-trodden. I I hope this nugget is bright enough to reflect on who else has walked it.
Reform UK’s Lee Anderson wants to bring back the ‘invalid carriage’.
The Invacar was banned from English roads in 2003 over safety fears after some overturned and others caught fire.

It's a local council by-law, letting agent should have known about it but any ordinary resident would be totally unaware of (why would they if not a habitual landlord?). It smacks of a degree of desperation from the Mail in scavenging for something to attack Reeves about.

Grooming gang survivor Ellie Reynolds encouraged by Farage to answer general Reform press questions (this one about Pochin's comments).
It is profoundly irresponsible by Farage to expose her to this risk - and destroys his claim that "this is not a Reform or political proposal".
Also NB "Sarah".

Everything about his body language whenever a question is asked about the Russian bribes speaks of panic. Farage is vulnerable on this.
Farage is asked about another two of his MEPs, who made the same pro-Russia statements that Nathan Gill has now pled guilty to being bribed to make.
"Opinions are opinions."
Farage's defence seems to be that they arrived at those views independently and it has nowt to do with him.
Hmm. 🤔 ~AA

“Deeply shocked” he ain’t.
Deeply uncomfortable - almost certainly.
Robust scrutiny and not letting up on it - that’s what every credible journalist should be doing. If you’re not getting the tetchy Farage, you’re not doing your job properly.
