Charging over $100 for a train ride that normally costs under $13. Is she seriously claiming it that every fan that takes a train to see the Giants or Jets is subsidised $87 by the state? Nah, this is price gouging

Yes Trump's posts are horrendous but they're also completely incoherent. It's pretty obvious he doesn't know what to do.

This whole "Crime as a Service" trend is really under-covered – it's widespread across Europe. Enemy intelligence agencies don't need secret agents or embedded saboteurs any more, they just need to find some idiot 16 year olds on a Discord who'll firebomb an ambulance station for pocket money

There wasn't a £37bn Covid testing contract. And Dido Harding was never handed a contract, she was head of NHS Improvement who was seconded to run Test And Trace. And the total amount that Randox was paid by the NHS was 133 million. But you're right, Matt Hancock WAS MP for Newmarket.
