One of the weirdest parts of the recent Brit Labour nonsense is that they were hiring a PR firm to investigate people. Did they also hire a private detective to write their ads?

Rubio is partially correct. They do not want allies.
This message from the US State Department about "not wanting allies to be shackled by guilt and shame" is a pretty direct call-out to the German far-right argument that Germany has spent too long feeling guilty about the Holocaust, and needs to move on and stop doing remembrance.

British treasures could end up in foreign museums! Oh no.

Look. I agree with what she's saying. I've reposted other people saying the same thing. But whoever thought it was a good idea to go with the red card line needs to be sat down and had a word with.
