Trump is sueing the BBC. I really, really hope the BBC do not settle. Drag him through court and let everything he has said come out.
And then make him fund the BBC for decades.

Reform UK Party Ltd spent £700,000 on a 2-page spread — one page being just an image of Farage and the other a letter, meaning he spent £350,000 on pictures of himself.
The average UK house price is £272,000.
Also, the ‘full English’ is badly photoshopped on — it's tiny!
