Outwitting the onion

The Hindu

There are many odd surprises in the world. The onion soon became non-existent for them when they unanimously agreed that it was a treacherous thing and they would be better off without any of it at all.

2024 election results: The dumbest Trump, Harris, and Biden controversy explains a lot.

Slate

Picture an interrogation room with a single chair under a bright light.

The Independent

If nothing else, and there really is very little else to be said for it, Boris Johnson’s memoir, Unleashed, proves that this man was really was, and indeed still is, the most shameless charlatan ever to flit across the British political scene.
