Her short period at Number 10 saw one of the most disastrous runs on the pound ever which had a huge impact on the country’s finances. A question now is whether this has totally ended the political ambitions of Liz Truss or will she be treated seriously again. .I think she’s finished Mike Smithson
The Washington Post is reporting that federal prosecutors probing the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol have sought a wide range of Trump documents related to fundraising after the 2020 election,. They are seeking to determine if Trump or his advisers scammed donors by using false claims. about voter fraud to raise money, This comes on top of the criminal charges he is facing in New York and as well as likely action in the state of Georgia….
If this polling has it right then just a quarter of American adults now a favourable view of Donald Trump and this really puts into question whether he has any chance at all of making a comeback.
