Slightly off-topic, but when states that "according to the , the is predicted to have the highest GDP growth rate of countries", don't believe him.
Go and look at the IMF's World Economic Outlook (April 2024).
It shows that UK growth is 6th out of 7 in 2024 and joint 3rd out of 7 in 2025.

The UK Home Office will reportedly launch a surprise operation to detain asylum seekers across the UK tomorrow in preparation for their deportation to Rwanda, weeks earlier than expected and timed to coincide with council elections in England.

Setting the police on scared, vulnerable people in a pathetic, desperate attempt to solicit votes from their racist base. Utterly detestable.

The (apparently) co-ordinated action by MPs to call for increases in the defence budget prompts the question: How many calling for increases in defence spending are in the pay of the arms manufacturers? We know there is a "revolving door" between Whitehall and defence companies.

"Israeli Knesset member Har-Melech has said that there are "secret" Israeli plans to settle in Gaza, saying that rapid work is underway in government offices to achieve this"
She said:
""I also believe in the context of defining victory over our enemy, that they must know that in the place from which those who slaughtered, killed and called for erasing Israel's name came out of, will be a large and spacious settlement".

Not so secretive, are they?

Note the emphasis on "piece of paper".
If the legal advice was delivered to him verbally or on-screen he'd be quite justified in saying he hadn't seen a piece of paper.
Lazy questioning in my opinion, allowing him to side-step the issue without perjuring himself.

If anyone needs his mental health evaluated, it's a) the cop who did nothing but point a gun at Aaron's head while he was in flames & b) the people making excuses for bombing over 10,000 children to pieces in Gaza.

The people who want to see Aaron's protest buried, & the slaughter of children in Gaza continue, will talk about only one person's mental health today.

People who protest in this way are not presumptively mentally ill.
