Love my Brits!

I’m the mom of an American lady living in the UK with her British partner. Ever since I learned of Sky from Kieran I have left American news behind. Sky is excellent!!! But, then you two started your podcast and this American wonk can’t live without it! Love you both, and Sam, I also love my British babes on Electoral Dysfunction! You all have a lot of information without the American hysteria. Thank you thank you! Can’t wait to come visit someday…maybe you can get me into Prime Minister’s Questions :)!!!

Missed US, always tough to know on the UK end

Cameron, who made a pig’s breakfast of Britain’s future through a Brexit referendum with almost no pushback on lies from the leave side, did not convince Trump to support Ukraine aid. Trump went quiet because the win for aid was going to happen. Same approach to primary fights on the Republican side. Not saying that jumping on the winning side is unusual, just that Trump did NOT make this happen. All the MAGA in Congress voted against. This was a rare victory for Moderate R’s and the D’s — they all looked like grownups. Enjoy the podcast!!
