'We have historically high welfare spending.' No we don't.

'We have a historically high proportion of working-age people not actually working.' No we don't.

'The number of Britons emigrating is skyrocketing.' No it isn't.

Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States. He has brought the office down so low in such a short time. Other presidents have tried but none have come close to this.

And it goes on.

The man is completely unraveling.

Bombing boats, threatening invasions “to stop drugs,” and now promising a full pardon to a president convicted of trafficking 400 tons of cocaine into the U.S.

It’s the most lawless presidency in American history.👇

Wait, Gill was the least wicked one because he had to get paid to spout Putin’s bilge because the rest of them did it for free?
So the line is that he wasn't getting paid for any of this

This isn't just capitulation, it's setting Ukraine up on the chopping block if these demands were to be enacted. Defensible lines abandoned, army decimated, allies barred, Russia allowed to entrench and prepare the next inevitable attack. Outrageous doesn't even begin to cover what this bullshit is.

Key points: Met police say investigation into other politicians is ongoing. Gill sought to recruit multiple MEPs including 4 British ones.

The judge gave strongest possible quotes about the gravity of the crime and the damage done to public trust.

Almost all the rest are entitled to UK citizenship.
