I really hate to play the “age card,” folks, but back in my day (2023 and 2024), I distinctly recall that a president with apparent mental infirmities was nigh unto scandalous.
For a press so dedicated to sanewashing the Trump administration’s open sewer of corruption, the kid gloves treatment still seems the order of the day.

Reform have written to me. Wow, what a push poll. “Rising crime”, “mass immigration” (not devolved), but no mention of transport, let alone the environment (unless that’s what they mean by high energy prices).
