7/8/202621 min
Democratic socialists gain momentum in deep-blue primaries, as the left begins a fight over possible new candidates to take the place of Graham Platner. Nigel Farage resigns from Parliament and immediately launches a campaign to win back the same seat as he fights allegations involving millions of dollars in undisclosed financial support. Prosecutors reveal that Lance Twiggs’ DNA was found along with Tyler Robinson’s on a screwdriver and the towel wrapped around the suspected weapon used to murder Charlie Kirk. Prince Harry loses every claim in another major case against the British press and could now be left with a share of a massive legal bill.
