    I’m looking forward to seeing his face when Joe doesn’t give him a trade deal.

    Hopefully he won’t be able to put “Senator” in front of his name much longer, after they expel him for inciting insurrection.

    This is the Ted Cruz who allegedly helped incite the riots in the capital and who tried to get the Supreme Court to throw out the electoral result in Pennsylvania? He doesn’t give a stuff about the citizens of Pittsburgh ....

    Have you seen Ted Cruz lately? Dresses like he’s about to shoot up a school, has gone full MAGA, and is clearly after Trump’s fanbase.

    Note the mention of Pittsburgh PA. Pennsylvania will likely be a battleground state again in 4 years time. Cruz is positioning himself for a run at the Presidency, in which he’ll be marketing himself as Trump’s successor.

    What I truly hope is that Trump forms a new party and splits the right of centre vote over there, it would be like Labour and the SDP and mean years of Democrats in power.
    It's worth remembering that Republicans usually lose the popular vote even if they win the presidential election.

    George Orwell died 70 years ago today, and yet what he said about the British press rings as true today as it did during his lifetime.

    Not just that, but it'll force the mainline GOP (the bits that merely want low taxes and crush the workers underfoot) to finally accept that they cannot make common cause with crazy. In so doing, hopefully the surviving right-wing party would be a GOP that is more centre-right, eschewing the loonies to chase the moderates that have moved to the Democrats, because the current iteration of the GOP is one of the craziest parties in any industrialized country.

    Cruz and Hawley are lightweight as neither has the kind of personality that Trump had to attract huge numbers of votes across a wide spectrum of Conservatives, alt -right and neo-facists. Their base will be much smaller!

    What's your view on Sara Palin wannabe, Lauren Boebart?, surely she must face some charges over her role in the insurrection?

    Here's a video of her shameful involement, discussed at the end...
