OBAMA: When I was president, all these Republicans are all deficits, deficits, debt, debt. You got to do something about it. And now—$40 trillion—Crickets. Somehow deficits only matter when a Democratic president is in office

I don’t think I ever believed I’d see a newspaper paragraph like this: President Trump ‘said he would welcome immigrants from Denmark but not from Norway “because I didn’t get the Nobel Prize, so I don’t want anybody from Norway”.’

🇺🇸 Pete Hegseth just got absolutely humiliated by Senator Tammy Duckworth!
Senator Tammy Duckworth, a retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel who lost both legs while serving in Iraq, challenged Hegseth:
"I'm glad you brought that up. Can you name a single country that belongs to ASEAN and explain what agreement we have with it? And, by the way, how many countries are in ASEAN? Frankly, I'm not sure you even know who our allies are."
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth:
"Well, I can't give you the exact number, but I certainly know our allies in South Korea, Japan, and Australia..."
Senator Duckworth:
"None of the countries you just mentioned are members of ASEAN. I suggest you do your homework before engaging in these discussions."
And this is the kind of clueless bullshit running the Pentagon. Absolutely unbelievable.

I support rejoining the EU as soon as possible, by the fastest route possible.
But if that isn’t possible yet, then I want politicians to do everything in their power to make travel, trade and cross border living, working and studying easy again.

Obama: "The guy has become billions of dollars wealthier in office. Nobody disputes this! It's just -- how do you do that when you're supposed to be looking out for you? And the worst part of it not a single Republican in Congress has done anything to stop it."

🚨 BREAKING:
Obama: "I spent 8 years cleaning up the mess Republicans left me, then handed it to Trump. 75 straight months of job growth. All he did was give tax cuts to people who don't need them, increasing the deficit, and now he wants to do it again."

Simon Heffer, not exactly a pinko liberal leftie, reviews the new Liz Truss book, and it should be framed in every loo in the land.

🚨In the UK we are facing an unprecedented coalition of hostile states, enormously wealthy far-right individuals prepared to spend many hundreds of £millions to swing elections and a media and social media ecosystem which they almost entirely control. And we are simply not ready for that

Since the beginning of Trump’s second term, American democracy has been unwound at frightening speed.
Analysis by the V-Dem Institute shows the rate of democratic backsliding in the US is faster than we saw in Hungary, India, Russia, or Serbia.
And if we don’t take urgent action it could happen here too

Elon Musk says Italians should stay in Italy, Japanese in Japan, Arabs in Arab countries, and Africans in Africa.
Then why is this South African in America?

Simon Heffer’s final pars in his review of Liz Truss’ new book.
Of all the best examples of the Westminster unreality machine, where parts of the illiberal metropolitan elite and press build someone up clearly beyond their abilities, she was by far the worst. Zero accountability, of course.

Thames Water spent £2bn on fees in 18 months to stay private. Now it's asking its creditors for £2.4bn more. But it's customers who will pay the price via their water bills.
If the deal goes ahead the average Thames Water bill will have risen from £488 to £672 while Labour has been in government.

Prime Minister @andyburnham is right.
One estimate is of a long term hit of 4%. Another says it’s already been 6-8%. By almost every economic and financial measure Brexit has been disastrous for the UK
“There is not a single sign of any overall economic damage done by Brexit” says @Nigel_Farage
Meanwhile back on planet earth by almost every economic & financial measure Brexit has been disastrous for the UK
Is anyone seriously buying his bull****?

Obama: "A Venezuelan billionaire wanted a pardon, so he paid one of Trump's personal lawyers $50 million... and lo and behold, the pardon falls out of the sky... We have never seen a president excel in straight-up grifting on your dime like this."

Simon Heffer’s review of Liz Truss’s new book Bank Job in the Telegraph.
‘Of all the books I have ever reviewed that purported to offer a serious thesis, this is without question the most deranged. If you are seeking a Christmas present for someone you really don’t like, give them a copy.’

Boom. 💥
EL-SAYED: I get that the President takes personal offense to my first name. He doesn't mind as much when it's the Saudis who are funding his son-in-law's private equity. Doesn't seem to mind as much when it's the Qataris who are giving them a $400 million private jet. He just seems to have trouble pronouncing it when it's my name.
I don't care how he pronounces my name. I don't even care that he remembers my whole name. Because he can just go on and call me senator after November.

For years Westminster treated Brexit as untouchable.
That is changing.
The Guardian reports that @AndyBurnham now wants an honest discussion about freedom of movement as part of Britain’s future relationship with Europe.
@AngelaRayner says it should not be off the table.
🎉 Government is preparing to set out its long-term options around the 20 November UK-EU summit.
It’s time to get our freedom of movement back! It was stolen from us as it was never actually on 2016 ballot paper.
Nor was leaving the Single Market.
Nor was leaving the customs union.
Nor was the final form of Brexit that Britain ended up with.
Those choices were made afterwards by the Tories with Farage’s help.
If Britain is now considering whether the Brexit red lines still serve our economy, food security, energy security and national resilience, then the democratic answer is simple:
🙋♀️Ask the public what they want now.
