In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."

The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.

A desperately sad day for UK Public Service Broadcasting. We suspect The Times wants to replace the BBC as the medium that explains the UK to itself; The Telegraph wants the UK to be linked in an ever closer union with Trump. Both are cock-a-hoop today. These are big battles for Britain.

Hello US, stop wasting everyones time. And so many lives. We all know that Putin just plays for time and strings you along, and does not even for 1 second consider any concession or ‘treaty’ or whatever.

PS Is it true that Trump is being blackmailed by Putin?

Ask him why so many air traffic controllers are retiring at once. Ask him if it has anything to do with Reagan firing 11K union strikers in 1981 and having to replace them all at once. Ask him how the mass firings this year will impact us the same way 40 years from now. Ask him, Jake.
