“Last show next week and we have Ed Davey and Nigel Farage , two leaders of the smaller parties “
One has 4 MPs the other 72 but both according to her are smaller parties.
Shameless.

Only problem with this is I've never been on their nonsense channel.
They lie - obsessively.

"The President is extremely frustrated with both sides of this war"
Sorry that Ukraine rudely got invaded, and now rudely are refusing to capitulate to all the invader's demands.
30 hours of talks sounds like such hardship for you.

The #trump #nationalsecurity plan completes the strategy of wanting to make Canada the 51st state and the acquisition of Greenland.
Remove their alliance with the EU and isolate Europe further. Creating chaos in Central America makes sense too. Take Venezuela oil to hit Europe economies.
Shameful.

Europe, and Ukraine, need to quickly prepare for a future without the United States. Even after Trump is gone, the US electorate has proved that it is willing to empower dangerous, anti-democratic forces at any given time. The US should never be trusted again. And I say that as an American.

The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.
The US has declared rhetorical war on the EU
The calls from America this weekend to destroy the EU are revealing. They hate the union because it's the only thing that can keep European countries from being Russian or American vassals.

The only time Article 5 of the NATO Treaty was invoked was to defend us, not for us to defend Europe. European soldiers and civilians died fighting with us and working next to us in Afghanistan. Europe was not attacked on September 11, 2001.

Helen Whately on #bbclaurak does not understand how PIP works for Motability vehicles.
People don’t get “a free car”.
Disabled people , who qualify via the very high criteria for the mobility element of PIP, can sacrifice that payment as a lease for a vehicle.
She should know this.
