It doesn't help when there is no set definition of what is left and right wing. I've always known Galloway as extreme left wing. He's an absolute prick and I don't know how he keeps getting voted in.

I doubt it will mean much in the long run, but at least Haley's got one primary win.

Nikki Haley wins DC primary, first victory for campaign

Her win comes ahead of an expected blowout by Donald Trump on Super Tuesday.

Trump supporters target black voters with faked AI images

Faked images of black voters with Trump are a growing disinformation trend in the US election, the BBC finds.

Desperate stuff from his camp. Like anyone could believe it given his whole racist rhetoric.

Makes a change from targeting black voters with semi automatic weapons I suppose.

Biden to announce US will build port on Gaza shore for large-scale aid delivery

President to make announcement in State of the Union speech while senior US official says ‘We are not waiting on the Israelis’

www.theguardian.com

US forces will build a temporary port on the Gaza shoreline in the next few weeks to allow delivery of humanitarian aid on a large scale, Joe Biden will announce in the State of the Union speech.

"We are not waiting on the Israelis. This is a moment for American leadership," a senior US official said on Thursday, reflecting growing frustration of what is seen in Washington as Israeli obstruction of road deliveries on a substantial scale.

The port will be built by US military engineers operating from ships off the Gaza coast, who will not need to step ashore, US officials said. The aid deliveries will be shipped from the port of Larnaca in Cyprus, which will become the main relief hub.

Quite a big statement from Biden with the building of the port.

Pretty good idea by the old man to be fair. He gets a lot of flack but I like Sleepy Joe.

Not a political story, but I didn't know where else to put it. For the past 10 years it has remained one of the modern era's greatest mysteries.

He's done exactly what someone in his position should do surrounded himself with smart intelligent people who know what to do.

That should be any president/prime minister mind regardless of age.

Frank Hester: Tory donor accused of racist Diane Abbott remarks

Frank Hester insists the alleged 2019 comments had "nothing to do" with Ms Abbott's ethnicity.

www.bbc.co.uk

Could he be more racist?

I don't like her - but not because of her ethnicity, but because she comes out with stupid comments and then tries to cover them up. But let's call a spade a spade he's made racist remarks about her because he has racist views.
