Why are folks taking this $5000 bribe as a serious policy? First off, it would be illegal. He is literally buying votes. And secondly, Trump has plainly just made it up on the spot. There is zero thought behind this. No costing or analysis. Nothing. It’s the mind fart of a deranged tosser. #r4today

Evan Davis canvassing views of other parties about Starmer. Tories first. Then Farage. Then ‘have we got time for Lib Dems?’ They had. Good. Lib Dems have 71 MPs. Reform have 8 and only 6 of them were voted in as Reform. It’s no wonder our politics is fucked with a media like #BBCnews #R4PM
