Ed Davey: “Relieved Trump has now reversed senseless decision to suspend intelligence-sharing and security aid... no doubt it cost Ukrainian lives. The terrifying thing is... we can’t count on him not to do it again."

More or Less is going to be busy if it fact checks every number Donald Trump says! This week bit.ly/4hb5DGm it explains why claims tat the USA has given Ukraine $350bn and Europe about $100bn are wrong as are claims that Europe’s is a loan and USA’s is a gift. So a whole policy is based on untruths.

If you drag yourself into work, coughing and wheezing; and you laugh (weakly and with running eyes) at lesser mortals who use their sick leave, you are not a Big Brave Soldier. You are a vector of disease.

In 1979 around 15% of MPs had a manual worker background. That dropped to 3% by 2015. At the same time previous work in politics went from 3% to 17% over the same period. We know this has consequences for political rhetoric. 1/
