I'm sure you've realised that's a rhetorical question, since George Osborne imposed the public sector pay frieze in *checks notes* 2010. 🤬

The clawing need to get attention from progressives seems to be driving these engagement farmers a little nuts, as they up the weird-and-evil ante, hoping to get those precious clicks and plays.

"What Musk has proven through his actions and his statements is that he's committed to serving the trolls and the first and the ordinary good faith users second," explained Brian Hughes of American , who is the co-founder of the Polarization and and Innovation Lab (). But, he noted, Musk is "blinded by his own " and can't see how this is backfiring.

They don't have their audience of targets that they need," he continued.

Zero proof. Zero facts.
Lots of speculation and wild unsubstantiated claims. Just like MAGA.

Smell like yet another scam artist on the loose.

Maybe the GOP can get this rodeo clown to take Trump's place.

The Coutts briefing said was considered to be a “disingenuous grifter” with “xenophobic, chauvinistic and racist views."

Got him to a tee really!

Guilty only of being a bit long winded in saying, "He's a total ____" 👍
