Everything is fine. Your only power is if you vote, and the vote result is respect by the January 6th architects. Everything is fine. Carry on as normal. Vote in three years. That's your only option.

Only problem with this is I've never been on their nonsense channel.

This is why Leveson 2, social media responsibility legislation & reform of Ofcom & BBC should have been #1 priorities in July 24 and, given that didn’t happen, should be now.

“This is not America having priorities that don’t involve Europe. It is not isolationism. It is America taking sides with Russia against Europe, because one of America’s two political parties now sees Russian autocracy as preferable to European democracy.”

King Donald the Mad says the US will offer Ukraine legally-binding NATO Article 5-style security guarantees.
Yeah. He's famous for abiding by legally-binding deals, except on days with a "Y" in them.

It's almost word for word the briefing that Johnson's team were putting out in spring 2022.
This sounds like defensive briefing straight from a Morgan McSweeney Whatsapp group in denial about how an ineffective leader unwilling to face the breakdown of US-Europe relations might not be the best figure to lead the UK into a post-American order

If McSweeney thinks this kind of Whatsapp briefing can save him or Starmer rather than enrage even more MPs who will resent being accused of being unpatriotic then the current Labour leadership will have lost its grip on reality in ways that mean it needs to go

Yes. The catch is that the only 2 younger Tesla models selling nowadays are .. even worse
Even the German built ones are now dead last, in all annual TÜV testing, of the 123 most frequently tested cars ..
Which is why the largest US & EU car rentals stopped renting Teslas. Not EVs, just Tesla

Tesla ranks dead last in used car reliability study, but there’s a catch
Tesla ranks dead last in used car reliability study, but there’s a catch
Consumer Reports is out with its latest study on used car reliability, and the headlines are already circulating: Tesla has landed at the very bottom of the list.
The study, which examines 5-to-10-year-old vehicles, ranks Tesla 26th out of 26 brands, placing it behind Chrysler, Dodge, and even Jeep – brands known for decades for their reliability issues.
While critics will undoubtedly use this as ammo to attack the brand, a closer look at the data reveals a much more nuanced picture, one that highlights just how recent an automaker Tesla still is.

What is also beyond parody is that the place @dailymail.co.uk chooses to highlight the gulf between booming Poland and failing Britain is Sunderland - a city famous for being the first to declare for Brexit. Shouldn’t it be thriving by now?

Oh, and wait till you hear that the same team behind the Press Gazette hit job and Wikipedia rewrite - at the same time - reported us to HMRC. Once again, in their eagerness to tarnish Byline Times, they got their facts wrong.

This also explains why some troll rewrote Byline Times’ Wikipedia entry to include endless erroneous paragraphs about how Hacked Off and anti media activists created it. Pure BS. Just gratifying to know Dacre’s minions wasted so much money and time on us

It is very difficult to think of anything Trump has done this year that does not denigrate the USA’s staunchest allies and delight their once shared enemies, most obviously Vladimir Putin. And apart perhaps from Mark Carney, Western politicians are not rising to the unprecedented challenge he poses.
