Farage looks very uncomfortable here but it won’t damage him in any way with his supporters who I suspect would mostly cheer on the very behaviour he is being accused of.

Whooping cough outbreaks surge, fueled by waning immunity and falling vaccination rates
New details from health officials suggest the whooping cough surge may be part of a national pattern driven by slipping vaccine coverage and waning immunity, with infants bearing the brunt.

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business.
The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay.
It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders.
Textbook corporate greed.

Trump wrongly indicted me. I’ll rightly impeach him.
Impeachment isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent — but is it working?

In a dramatic legal turn, a federal court in the Eastern District of Virginia dismissed the indictment against former FBI Director James Comey.
👉 Because the statute of limitations in Comey’s case has expired, this prevents any future charging.

What if democracies could not go to war without consulting their citizens? Modern states often wage war without giving the public any formal right to weigh in.
How democratic can a system be when citizens are excluded, and what would it mean to give the people a voice?

Absolutely doing the HARD work of govt - earning those taxpayer paid for perks they so RICHLY partake of
Did Kristi and Kash get to Vegas in one of Kristi's Gulfstream G700 private jets taxpayers paid $200,000,000 for or did they use a $60,000,000 FBI private jet that taxpayers also paid for? These are incompetent fools only on the job for the attention and theft.
