So who is on the shortlist for the vacant role of "Leader of the Free World"?

Quite something when the American people elected a "President" that makes Putin look sane.
Great job "Team USA".

The president is falling asleep durring a White House cabinet meeting with each member praising him for his resilience. What are we doing America? This is so embarrassing.

Feels increasingly like a Reeves budget, that didn’t crash the markets, is facing more criticism from BBC journalists than a Liz Truss budget that did

It's all bad but hadn't seen the bit where Farage says:

That is a seriously, deeply problematic term that taps into Illuminati and antisemitic conspiracy theories.
How the fuck did this man direct the course of our politics?

Trump saying all of Biden's pardons are revoked is the sort of thing that could bring down the whole house. There's clearly no legal basis for it, yet he may try to use armed force to re-arrest pardoned individuals. A total breakdown of law and order.

here's Trump's full racist rant about MN's Somali community: "Somalians ripped off that state for billions. And they contribute nothing... Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage. These aren't people that work... They come from hell & do nothing but bitch. We don't want them"

Brexit was exactly that. A petulant door-slamming. A rejection of cooperation, protection and opportunity for all of us because the wealthy rightwing elites didn’t want to play by shared rules. And knew they could exploit ignorance/prejudice to achieve that.

One of my abiding impressions of Brexit is the way it slammed doors of opportunity in the faces of young people several rungs below Boris Johnson’s countless children on the ladders of privilege & advantage.

What we're seeing is exactly what we saw in the late 1940s, the late 1960s and the mid- to late 1970s: a concerted and hysterical campaign to delegitimise a Labour government, and indeed the very idea of Labour governments at all.
