Recently picked up my copy here in the UK. Fantastically written by @jonathanvswan and @maggieNYT. I do love their reporting…I just wish the subject matter wasn’t true… 📚
@FaringForwards Epstein, his views on Rob Reiner, the $300m ballroom, not even a concept of a plan for US healthcare reform, Venezuela…and that’s just the last couple of weeks.
Saturate the news feed leaving the press and the public to struggle to know where to begin…seems to be the tactic.
@FaringForwards By doing so, would we become part of a new Guernsey small boat immigration problem which would possibly lead to the rise of a Guernsey far right movement? That does seem to be the formula these days…
We talked today about a memo the PM wrote for Cabinet in mid-Feb, after 7 months in the job - it has theme of providing security for people at home whether that's jobs, borders, housing, as he identifies a 'deep, deep scar of insecurity' among the public #newscast
@FaringForwards Try ‘The Conversation’ in an attempt to reverse that less than positive experience perhaps?
PS Probably also best to avoid The French Connection II…
@FaringForwards I understand the geopolitical need to meet, discuss & try to agree on points of policy with allies…especially powerful ones…but it still sticks in my craw that that ally is a 2 times impeached, 4 times indicted, 6 times bankrupted, 34 times convicted felon, adjudicated rapist
@KatiePhang@katiephangshow That’s a real shame. I listened to your show from here in the UK. Your show will be missed after April…but I’m excited to see what you do next… 🙏🙏
@FaringForwards If ever you wanted to do a podcast on a UK perspective of US politics…let me know…I need to vent and I’m struggling for an outlet… 🕰️ 💣 🤯
@jonsopel It could be a clown car of a cabinet if there’s Senate approval of Trump’s nominations (unless long term recess appointments get through).
BTW we were on the same plane coming back from DC at the weekend ✈️
@KatiePhang I travelled from the UK to be in DC for election. Travelling back today so will miss the show (I’ll be in the air). But will catch it on the podcast tomorrow.
Helluva week indeed ! 🤯
@jonsopel@KamalaHarris Travelled to Washington from England this week. Went to the US Supreme Court this morning…I hope this election doesn’t end up there a la Bush/Gore.
@ShabanaMahmood There must be another review of the Conservative’s Civil Costs ‘reform’. The intro of fixed costs means innocent Claimants only recover a fraction of their own legal fees from the tortfeasor forcing heavy deductions from damages. It’s wholly unfair on the innocent
