Nige isn't even trying to pretend that Reform is anything more than his own personality cult these days. The heavily grease-painted entertainer in need of ever more attention. The possibilities are endless. Be more like Nige and jump at the chance to buy shares in Kwasi Kwarteng's crypto scheme.

And fortunately, you have, President Hegseth - or I say, 'President Hegseth' - Secretary [of Defense Pete] Hegseth that is - got a great relationship with President Trump.

It won't be the billionaire kids of Donald Trump and his buddies that die, the Connecticut Democrat said. It's going to be the children of middle class and poor families all across this country who are going to die for a war of choice, a war of vanity, an illegal war.

Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show has drawn criticism from the country's top Republican: Donald Trump said it was "one of the worst, EVER!" in a post on Truth Social.

I don't blame them. If I had the money, I would do the same thing.
