Failing to hold Farage accountable is exactly the path that led to Trump in the US. There has to be accountability *early* or there's no stopping the runaway train.

This is civilizational for Europe (and for the UK)
It's not just being able to get medical treatment without bankruptcy, paid maternity leave, or having a system that looks after citizens
It's as simple as knowing oil contains only olives and eggs don't have salmonella.

Since taking office a year ago, Trump and his family have inflated their personal wealth by nearly $2 billion.
An estimated $1.3 billion of that has come from his burgeoning crypto grifts, which could put the rest of us at severe economic risk. https://youtu.be/gpCxV-cRY4o?si=hv3qQImBGP_XgwSA

And - just like that - the West as a concept is terminated by the US president. Yes, it is because he embraces conspiracy theories, but the reason for his decision is less relevant than the decision itself.

It's so exhausting to to be constantly told by American leaders that the defining policy of the 80 odd years during which the US became the most wealthy and powerful country in the history of the world was a grossly unfair failure for them.
US trade secretary Howard Lutnick really not mincing his words here at Davos: "We are here to make a v clear point: globalisation has failed the West and the USA. It's a failed policy. It's what the WEF has stood for, which is, export, offshore, find the cheapest labour in the world."
