Contrary to what some claim, many British people do care about Nigel's Dulwich School days.
The only group shrugging it off are the Reform/Nigel Farage die-hards, and that’s because they behave like a cult.
But that’s all there is, Reform has already reached its polling ceiling.

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

It’s important to remember that Laura Ingraham went to Dartmouth. She’s not as stupid as she sounds. She’s just a shameless liar.

On Consumer Reports' latest ranking of used car reliability, Tesla came in dead last with a rating not even half of the top placed brand.

Nothing that Trump is doing to Ukraine is unexpected. Trump loves Putin and Russia. He knows little of history before WWII that led up to NATO or how the US benefitted from defense relationships.
Since Trump is dealing for Russia, should the US be put under the sanctions that were put on Russia?

Reform UK councillor slapped with a £40,000 fine for hiring an illegal worker. 🤔
So much for "taking back control", apparently the rule is: deport them… but only after we’ve squeezed some cheap labour out of them.
A masterclass in hypocrisy!
