For the first time in 80 years, the federal debt-to-GDP ratio is over 100%. In the past, the rich used to pay higher taxes. Now, the government pays the rich interest on a swelling debt, caused largely by lower taxes on the rich. It's a big switcheroo.

Trump, suffering from dementia, is confused about where his father was born. It was in the Bronx, not in Germany. Trump's grandfather was an immigrant who came here after getting kicked out of Germany for evading the draft.

🚨Emily Thornberry MP on Donald Trump's comments on NATO allies: "It's so much more than a mistake. It's an absolute insult." "It's an insult to 457 families who lost someone in Afghanistan. How dare he say we weren't on the front line." "How dare he?"

Well, I certainly didn't have 'sharing clip of the Tory Shadow Leader of the House' on my to-do-list today. But here he is absolutely going for Farage! And managing to use the word 'bullshiterati' while doing it. It had to be shared!

For a month Trump said he was personally paying for the ballroom. Now we learn he’s been shaking down corporations to pay for it who want something from the govt. Another corrupt scam between Trump and CEOs that he lied about. I doubt he pays a penny.

Almost 200 school-based nurseries offering places for 4000 children will be opening in England in the autumn term, thanks to the first phase of the Labour government's childcare plan. And the next phase of the rollout, backed by £370m of funding from the spending review, will launch in the autumn.
