Trump let Musk rob all our citizens data and now he is handing over all our top military secrets — probably in exchange for rigging the elections. Trump doesn’t care what it cost Americans as long as he stays out of prison. They both need to be in jail.

There’s something deeply repellent about Reform’s vengeful and racist obsession to take money from the most vulnerable when they’re under multiple investigations for breaking rules, dodging tax and gorging on £millions for themselves. (And trashing our EU agreement is just so thick it hurts) iPaper
EU'would retaliate on welfare plan'
By Arj Singh
The EU could launch a trade war against the UK and would probably strip British expats of benefits in retaliation to Reform's plan to ban foreign nationals from nearly all welfare payments.
Nigel Farage was warned that Brussels was likely to react with fury to his party's plan to bar foreign nationals, including EU citizens with settled status, from claiming most benefits in Britain.
Under the terms of Brexit, the EU could also launch economic retaliation, for exampleby suspending parts of the trade deal between the two sides including putting up tariffs that would hit the economy. Anand Menon, the director of the think-tank UK in a Changing Europe told The i Paper: "The proposals would breach the terms of the withdrawal agreement and the EU will doubtless retaliate, whether that be by making life harder for Britons in the EU or by triggering retaliatory trade measures.
"Either way, it will impact severely on UK-EU relations."
Reform's Treasury spokesman, Robert Jenrick, insisted that the ban was necessary because
"forcing British workers to pay for the benefits of foreigners is not just economically illiterate but plain immoral".
