Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

We’re clearly at a moment where if Labour had a leader of the quality of Ardern they’d surge in the polls. Instead they’ve got Hipkins, who you can see processing everything through a focus group in his brain before he opens his mouth.

It seems entirely possible that Trump’s politics merely reflect whoever he’s surrounded by at any time and if you could just corral him with enough socialists he’d be signing executive orders to nationalise industries and create a welfare state by the end of the week.

The House of Representatives voted 285–98 in favor of a resolution condemning socialism.
86 Dems joined Republicans in supporting the measure, incl. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

As media analyst, I absolutely despise headlines like this because it creates a false association. The reason why this car failed had nothing to do with it being an electric car. But, by adding that word into the headline, it creates anti-electric sentiment.
