Tim Walz: "It's almost unimaginable that he's got Milei in there, giving him $20 billion, so that they can undercut us and China can buy their soybeans from them. And now China has learned they can replace our markets."

It’s the 111th anniversary today of the birth of Harry Rée, who was a teacher and conscientious objector when the Second World War broke out, and by the time it ended, when he was 31, had invented ‘blackmail sabotage’ and got a DSO, an OBE, a Croix de Guerre, and a Medaille de la Resistance

There is lots to be said about the problem of distrust in politics, but the obvious reason that Reform have been able to exploit the opportunities of anti-politics is that they - and Farage in particular - have met no meaningful challenge on the legacy of Brexit.
