Liz Truss' joke about her return to 10 Downing Street was met with a lukewarm reception from the crowd at the Lincolnshire Great Exhibition.
Neidle can't bear to say it. There is some scope to increase the taxation of Banks.

Hey Robert Jenrick - here's Jack Ross, the Tory candidate who offered to "broker" a hitman, grinning with you a couple of years ago. And look, there he is grinning with your boss Nigel Farage.
Small world, the far right.
A bit like the world of serious organised crime.
Here we have a Tory candidate offering to hire a hitman to *kill someone*.
Any danger @itvnews @bbcpolitics @channel4news report on this?
Or will they reveal themselves to be lapdogs for the uniparty?

The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. vanityfair.com/story/jared-k…

This is Jon Husted. The man whose body is driving trump crazy:
Trump on Jon Husted: "I'm studying his body. I've never studied the body of a man before. It's not my thing. Nothing wrong with it, of course. But it's never been my thing. But I looked at his ass. I said, 'His ass, shit, it's like a pile of muscle.' Then I looked at his legs and I said, 'Man, his feet are big.'"

I was waiting for new Trump to find some recurring characters to replace Sleepy Joe and Shifty Schiff this campaign season, but I confess I never expected one of them to be . . . Ohio senator Jon Husted's ass.
