The Sun hasn’t made a profit for years. The Telegraph just had to be flogged off. And so on.
The ability to pour hundreds of millions of pounds into a loss-making TV channel, bent on wrenching British politics sharply to the right, is yet another of the ways in which extreme wealth is trying to remake UK democracy.
It needs to be part of any serious conversation about political funding.

Trump fell asleep at a oval office meeting with the cameras, rolling again today. Reports Tracking this say that this has happened between 22 and 28 times in his second term alone. This is not normal even for an 80 year-old. Seriously what’s wrong with this guy?
