I don’t think the argument that “we will follow the King’s lead on this” from HMG re Andrew is wise. Because the Palace has known and helped cover up his scandals for years. Corrupt to the core.

Every day brings fresh Andrew scandal, today’s at the tax payer’s expense for not paying rent.

Here's a version of the English nursery rhyme, "The Grand Old Duke of York" 🎶 about the man who says he isn't going to call himself it anymore ... though whether he should be taken at his word ... 🤔

At the #NoKings demonstration I attended, there was a man in a clerical collar with a large sign reading "My king is a brown carpenter not an orange monarch."

Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."

Nigel Farage's biggest policy.

Getting rid of the NHS and having Health Insurance.

In the US they now pay $14,000 a year, for that you get nothing at all, you have to pay for your treatment when you get sick on top of that as well.

During the Caerphilly byelection campaign, the BBC will restrain itself from mentioning the fact that the Reform candidate was the assistant of the former Welsh party leader Nathan Gill, soon to be sentenced for fraud after accepting Russian money.

So why bother?

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.

Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

Because he feels uncomfortable about his position on Putin, he replies to her…

In her book Wilful Blindness, Margaret Heffernan explains why lobby "journos" like Mason, Peston, Kuenssberg, etc. act as cyphers rather than proper journalists. It's because they have spent so much time getting inside the bubble they're scared to do anything that would threaten their place there /1

It is a scandal totally unprecedented in history that the Vice President has shared a video depicting the President as king. It’s an obscene violation of every founding American principle.

And nothing will come of it. It makes me physically sick.

Donald Trump hates Americans

Philip Bump @pbump.com · 2d

So the president
- wants to wear a gold crown as he
- dumps feces on mothers holding babies because they are
- protesting kings and fascists?

OK. Just clarifying.
