I have always said that the prediction that Farage would be the next PM to be way off the mark. Not only is a week a long time in politics, but three years plus is a lifetime. By then, the consequences of Trump's policies will have been known. People will be fed up of it all by then, I'm sure.

Of course it was politically motivated. You and I know that. However, it's worth pointing out that Bolton is a nasty piece of work, so I'll try not to lose too much sleep over it.

I'm a hybrid. Got Yorkshire blood in me as my mum comes from Leeds. Does that mean I get a pass? :D

This does sound like a power-play, where someone uses knowledge to bully, belittle and humiliate. He isn't a very nice man, to be honest.

I haven’t actually seen any of this. It’s because it’s so unbearably grim. TBH I need things that uplift me right now. I might watch it after Trump has gone.
