Not really the main point for these witnesses statements but this is unbelievably low grade stuff to be passing on.

Tugendhat did not in fact get a cabinet job and Jeremy Hunt endorsed Rishi Sunak. Did the Chinese realise how crap all this intelligence was?

It's remarkable how reluctant the Democratic Party establishment has been to get behind Mamdani's campaign. His political communication skills are really top level.

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

This is a program to resettle neo-Nazis in the US.
“Trump Considers Overhaul of Refugee System That Would Favor White People The proposals would transform a program aimed at helping the most vulnerable people in the world into one that gives preference to mostly white people who say they are being persecuted.” “The proposals also advise Mr. Trump to prioritize Europeans who have been “targeted for peaceful expression of views online such as opposition to mass migration or support for ‘populist’ political parties.” That appeared to be a reference to the European far-right political party Alternative for Germany, whose leaders have trivialized the Holocaust, revived Nazi slogans and denigrated foreigners. Vice President JD Vance has criticized Germany for trying to suppress the views of the group, which is known as the AfD.”

Aside from negating the point of elections, opinion polls can be wrong! What if a pollster, let’s call them PollingPeople, consistently showed big vote shares for Nigel Farage but Reform’s true support is actually much lower?

"Over the last year, Badenoch has asked c.200 questions, Davey around 70, Green MPs 9, and Farage just 6. If those questions had been distributed according to their share of the opinion polls, rather than the number of MPs, Farage would have asked 120 , and the others between 40 and 60 each."

"I once met a former bodyguard of one billionaire with his own "bunker", who told me his security team's first priority, if this really did happen, would be to eliminate said boss and get in the bunker themselves. And he didn't seem to be joking."

Politicians really shouldn't be allowed to present 'current affairs' or news programmes (what really is the difference these days?). It's obvious, and the public agrees.

NEW: Net migration almost halved last year. But 84% of regular GB News viewers believe it went up.

More importantly, new research revealing this also suggests the public opposes politicians presenting shows - contradicting Ofcom.

It may be hard to believe, but for the better part of 40 years, Republican presidents frequently signed legislation promoting special education. Nixon signed the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. George H.W. Bush signed the Individuals with Disabilities Educastion Act

"No amount of appeasement of Trump will work short of turning yourself into a lapdog. So news outlets have to choose. And if you go halfway, you’re basically going to lose everyone."

Trump has cancelled $18B of spending in blue states. He fired more than 4,000 federal employees the same day he sent $20B to Argentina. He is propping up the government of the guy on the left, while firing government officials working for the guy on the right. But those employees also work for us!
