His existence as a political leader is owed to the fact that standards in public life have fallen so far that the difference appears negligible. He's faked it and made it

For the rest of time, if any politician on either side of the Atlantic moans "how are we going to pay for it?" in relation to a public good, I need all journalists to point out that Pete Hegseth spent 15 million taxpayer dollars on ribeye steak in 30 days.

I tagged you because I think you're honest journalists. Granted that's based on few sightings.
The BBC is not reporting enough of the MAGA abuses home and abroad in the main news cycle.

Labour seem not to care how compromised they are.

As expected, BBC News going ape about the released Mandelson files.
Dissecting every word, spending 15 mins on Andrew Neil's opinion about it, desperately trying to find any morsel they can use against Starmer, who made an error & apologised.
Meanwhile the Middle East burns & a mad man runs the US.
