A simple truth, either wilfully ignored or still not grasped by swathes of Tory journalists & politicians.

Great questions. Imagine Brownshirts Marching into town and going door to door searching and arresting illegals. He may even impose bounties on them. Neighbors turning in neighbors. In America? He’s insane.

Kamala will win on Nov 5 and become the first woman POTUS. Donald Trump will lose and shortly after become the first jailed ex-POTUS. Who’s with me? 💙✋

Funny! I was expecting to be on @Times Radio this lunchtime… did they just forget… or simply have me on stand-by? Producer Jake never got in touch: perhaps they think the old don’t matter!!

BREAKING: In a shocking moment, Donald Trump just announced that he is going to adopt Project 2025’s policy to fire civil servants and hire political staff loyal only to Trump. Retweet to make sure all Americans are aware of Trump’s devious plans.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Donald Trump completely fails to understand the question he’s asked and rambles on incoherently. It’s clear Donald Trump has lost his mental capacity. Retweet to make sure all Americans see this and know Trump is senile.
