The voters want to bin Farage

What I find interesting with this polling is that Nigel Farage 21 is below where Reform are polling. Only 15 want the investigation to cease, again below Reform’s voting intention score.

JD Vance Tries To Defend Trump With Nixon — And Only Makes It Worse

JD Vance's own corruption was on display when he told an interviewer at the Richard Nixon Foundation that in today's world, if Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12-hour news story.

He also made slush fund payments and authorized the break-in of Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist's office when he released the Pentagon Papers. This is but a few of his crimes. If we view it from the lens of Trump's two presidencies, they pale in comparison. If it were 1972, and Nixon had incited an insurrection at the US Capitol to stay in office after losing an election, Republicans would have impeached him swiftly and most likely put him in jail.read more
