This town received a £96mn post-Brexit makeover. It voted Reform anyway

Hartlepool has had the most regeneration funding per head of anywhere in England

Obama’s Harsh New Takedown of Trump Points to a World After MAGA

The forty-fourth president’s library dedication speech was a powerful explication of liberal patriotism—and a much-needed repudiation of the Trump-Vance fascist variant.

The Strait of Hormuz just closed again, there's a worldwide affordability crisis, AI is either going to destroy our jobs, or destroy the economy when the bubble bursts. The world faces demographic collapse, multiple wars, and catastrophic global heating. And this is the leader of the free world.

My point is that security is plainly connected to his ”professional role”. Frankly any MP who gets given £5m would only NOT declare it, if it was dodgy.

People can't be stupid enough to NOT know, Reform UK gave us Brexit and also have a Manifesto, like the National Front, of the 1970s. They ignore this because it gives them a chance, to be racist in public. The other reason is, they don't know and are wallowing in Unenlightenment! Both are grim.
