He boasts about being a sexual predator, he's been accused by 25 women of rape, harassment or assault, a jury found he "forcibly and non consensually penetrated Carroll's vagina with his fingers," he supports banning abortion.
But he hates trans people and so the Times calls him "a feminist hero."

Watching every Tory/Reformite now toadying up to Trump.
Their grim sycophancy ties them to all Trump’s acts of degeneracy, to his cruelty, personal greed and ruinous prejudice.
It exposes their disloyalty to us and their readiness to undermine our country and our democracy.
Keep the receipts.

1. There have been plenty of debates about whether or not Trump and his circle are fascists. In this column, I argue that the debate solves nothing. What we’re seeing is a reversion to the default state of politics in centralised societies: autocratic tyranny. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

When asked for advice for young entrepreneurs, the previous Duke of Westminster, Gerald Grosvenor, replied: “Make sure they have an ancestor who was a very close friend of William the Conqueror.” Today, less than 1% of the population owns at least half of England. @tortoisemedia.bsky.social
