Reform is “Poundland MAGA”!
I think more Brits are starting to realise that what Farage & Reform are offering is a kind of Poundland version of what Trump & the MAGA extremists are doing in the US. Most of us abhor the lies, the violence & the cruelty.

It didnt trickle down. The Kuznets Curve was speculative baloney after all.
Good morning. If you are waking today and wondering how a self-proclaimed Socialist was just elected to govern the largest city in America, this is your answer. Have a great day.

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

Zelenskyy has the only conscience in this camera shot. The other two hate him because he's the kind of man they could never be.
