Trump says he just really likes their philosophy and will only send the $20 Billion if his pal Milei wins.

It’s been one of the largest funders but now has cut its financial support.

I’m pretty sure this is so misinformation can run rife.

Nigel Farage wasn’t telling the truth on Laura Kuenssberg

Reform claim they were obstructed. There’s only one problem: they never made any inquiries.

Brexit is Farage and his fellow Brexiters' shitstorm to own. He/they can't be allowed to just pivot from heckle to heckle and bad idea to worse - while blaming everyone else - without consequences.

So the suggestion that Labour are going to amplify that truth is to be welcomed.
