Sun says he was pressured to buy more and retaliated against when he refused—calling it a scheme to “profit through fraud.”

This is loser behavior.

Oh no — next comes free preschool, free school meals, higher wages, and tuition-free community college.

Truly terrifying stuff.

Farage urged to act against candidates with racist, misogynistic and homophobic views Exclusive: Despite the pledge to employ the best vetting system in British politics, some Reform UK candidates have been condemned for their ‘grotesque views’ posted online

“Reform plagued by vetting issues”
Candidates found to have “grotesque” views.

Come on. It’s not the vetting, is it.
It’s the party. Whatever they do, they’ll always attract the racists, homophobes, misogynists and haters. Because that’s Farage. That’s Reform.

RFK Jr, "President Trump has a different way of calculating percentages"

"If you have a $600 drug and you reduce it to $10, that's a 600% reduction"

In reality, that’s a 98.33% drop

When we say "system change not climate change," we must also talk about our voting system.

Tackling the climate crisis requires long-term thinking and consensus-building. First Past the Post promotes short-termism and risks climate commitments being ripped apart.

Yeah, pipe down, Donnie.

So extraordinarily brilliant he still doesn’t understand how counting votes work

HASSAN: I agree all should have access to healthy foods, but Trump has made it harder to afford groceries. Do high prices make it easier or harder for families to eat healthy?

RFK Jr: I would say that beef has dropped by 1% last quarter

HASSAN: No. Beef prices are up 20% since Trump took office

Kemi Badenoch at the dispatch box during Prime Minister's Questions

Have I missed something, or was that set of questions from Kemi Badenoch handled with surprising ease by Keir Starmer given that he supposedly has his back against the wall?

Starmer ‘furious’ he wasn’t told Mandelson failed vetting by Foreign Office YouTube video by Channel 4 News

Someone who HAS called Keir Starmer a liar is Kemi Badenoch. Here she is on #c4news (4 mins in), saying it was not an accusation she made lightly.

Presumably, if it's shown that Starmer hasn't lied, she will resign in accordance with her principles.

Jewish communities are living in fear amid rising antisemitism, including these appalling arson attacks. We must confront this.

At the same time, antisemitism is being weaponised to shut down criticism of the Israeli government.

Both are true. Both deeply concerning. Both Antisemitic.

Trump really is such an arrogant asshole.

Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump + Never allow the Traitor Democrats like Low IQ person Hakeem Jeffries, or Cryin' Chuck Schumer, or the totally corrupt Fake News Media such as the phony and decaying Wall Street Journal, the Failing New York Times (Subscriptions way down!), or dying "60 Minutes," to demean or criticize Operation Midnight Hammer, which totally obliterated the Nuclear Dust locations to the point where bloodthirsty Iran has been unable to get to it, or dig it out. Space Force has cameras on every inch of the 3 sites that were so brilliantly hit last June! Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT
