Trump delivers a lesson to the whole world: That lesson is that any country, no matter how impressive its history, can lose its claim to moral authority in the matter of a few short years. It’s horrible to witness and, if Farage and Putin get their way, it’ll happen over here too. It’s a heads-up.

I hope the farmers blame the Tories who gave us Brexit and Liz Truss who ‘negotiated’ the trade deal, (despite everyone saying this would happen) not Labour who are saddled with the mess.

Liz Truss, who served 44 days as UK prime minister, goes full Curtis Yarvin.
Interviewing Yarvin on her new podcast, she calls for overhauling UK government to fit his vision.
“I agree with you, having spent 10 years in the system, you need to start from scratch,” Truss tells Yarvin.
