There is a budget hole in the UK of about £20bn over 5 years. Brexit has cost around £90bn a year. I wonder what the solution to our financial woes could be?
I assume that Reeves won't announce that we are rejoining the single market, however. So, more obfuscation and tinkering to appease Farage.

With Measles and Whooping Cough cases increasing in the US, how long should we wait before introducing vaccination-status checks at our borders?

A little reminder to the likes of RFK jnr: we are but the third generation of humans where infectious disease has not been the main cause of mortality.

So the US "peace" plan which favours Russia was, it seems, drafted in...Russia, by the Russians. Then the US agreed it.
So, again, what would Trump do differently if he were a Russian agent?

Labour can royally f*ck off at this point. When Tiny Tommy Ten Names approves of your asylum policy you have gone badly wrong. When will Labour stop pandering to the worst in our society and stand up to the traitorous leader of Reform Ltd?

Watched Weapoms last night. On the whole, a very good take on what a fairytale would actually be like to live in. But, my god, it was dark. Why do modern films all have to be shot in a mine?

In any other western country the emails that have just been released would spell the end of Trump's career and open the way to prison.
In the US now? Not a chance.

Trump is over time to sue the BBC for defamation in the UK.
Panorama was never broadcast in the US.
If he tries to go ahead EVERYTHING he said in relation to Jan 6th will come out.
There was no harm to his reputation from the broadcast.
The BBC should apologise for the edit and then sit tight.

Farage has a history of misusing public money. He was a close associate of a man guilty of taking bribes from Russia. He has been paid over £500k by Russia Today. He lied about buying a house in Clacton. He then said that his partner bought it. His partner is not in a position to buy that house.
