Trump: "We are running low on ammo, not because of my war on Iran but because Biden gave 'massive amounts' of Tomahawks to Ukraine." The U.S. didn’t supply a single Tomahawk to Ukraine.
Trump is literally and physically the biggest liar in world history! 🤥
🔴MICHELLE MONE
▪️Defrauded the UK taxpayer out of £120m
▪️Never been prosecuted
▪️Never paid back a penny
▪️Still a peer

Former Head of MI6 Sir John Sawers, "Russia was very keen that the Leave campaign should succeed and that Britain should leave the European Union"
"Because that would marginalise Britain as a global player and weaken Europe in general"
"That's the strategic opportunity the Russians spotted, and the leaders of the Leave campaign fell into it"
My view: Former MI6 chief Sir John Sawers says Russia saw Brexit as a way to weaken Britain and divide Europe, and that the Leave campaign’s leaders walked straight into the opportunity.
So let’s remember who sold it:
VOTE LEAVE
• Boris Johnson — political figurehead
• Michael Gove and Gisela Stuart — campaign committee co-convenors
• Matthew Elliott — chief executive
• Dominic Cummings — campaign director
• Daniel Hannan — leading Brexit advocate
• Priti Patel, Iain Duncan Smith, Chris Grayling, John Whittingdale and Theresa Villiers — senior Conservative campaigners
• David Davis, Liam Fox, Dominic Raab, Steve Baker and Douglas Carswell — prominent Leave campaigners
LEAVE. EU
• Nigel Farage — leading political figure
• Arron Banks — co-chairman and major funder
• Andy Wigmore — communications director
GRASSROOTS OUT / LABOUR LEAVE
• Peter Bone and Tom Pursglove — Grassroots Out co-founders
• Kate Hoey — Grassroots Out co-founder and Labour Leave campaigner
• Graham Stringer, Kelvin Hopkins and Roger Godsiff — Labour Leave campaigners
• Sammy Wilson — prominent DUP Leave campaigner
They promised Brexit would make Britain stronger.
Sawers says Russia saw the opposite opportunity: a Britain marginalised and a Europe weakened.
Thames Water is due to run out of money (again) over the next few weeks. A year and a half ago it was given a £3 billion bailout now it's asking for another £2.4 billion.
We really are being taken for mugs.

Royal Mail has been told that it could save £650m by only delivering things 3 days a week.
Did you know that the taxpayer could save £4,000m a year if Royal Mail had never been privatised, or if it was renationalised, and deliver 5 days a week.
I'd go with that.
🚨 👏 Another huge brick falls out of the Brexit wall.
The British Chambers of Commerce says repairing the economic damage from Brexit should be a top government priority.
More than half of the businesses it surveys say the current UK-EU trading arrangement is not working for them.
This is no longer about replaying 2016.
It is about looking at the economy we actually have in 2026 and asking what arrangement gives British businesses the best chance to grow.
Brexit is increasingly being judged by its results, not its promises.
The Royal Family don't do real work like a Teacher or a Nurse says Lord Foulkes and they should have their pay streamlined like the European Royal families instead of getting £137.9m for ribbon cutting.
Absolutely the Danish King and Queen get only £0.5m a year.
Thankyou ! Thankyou ! Thankyou ! Thankyou !
for someone finally making this point after 10 years !
"If we were allowed to vote, all the British citizens living in Europe - in Brexit, a vote directly affecting us - maybe Brexit wouldn't have gone through"
@bbcquestiontime
“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****?
Get the FACTS here👇
Nigel Farage says he will fix most of the country’s problems within 100 days of becoming Prime Minister so maybe he could tell us why he’s been unable to implement a decent vetting process for well over 2 years and counting.

On Tues, Trump was asked directly whether we had cut off intelligence sharing with Ukraine. He said no.
Now we learn that yes, his White House cut off access to critical satellite services to Ukraine.
How many times do we have to learn this lesson?
Trump’s word means nothing.
Reform voters losing their shit over this brilliant ITV investigation
They realise just how damaging it is for them. Their chances of getting into power have never been slimmer
Well done @itvnews
