Trump supporters will be pleased by JDV's answers here. But his carefully argued attack that Gov. Tim Walz mislead voters about carrying weapons "in war" can't succeed. After all, Walz received the "Global *WAR* on Terrorism Service Medal". Or was that not the right kind of war?

A "stolen valor" gambit might work better if Walz had said "combat". What he said was: "We can make sure that those weapons of war that I carried in war, is the only place where those weapons are at". Walz received a medal for his role in a war (page 108): ausa.org/sites/default/files…

All that changed when a Tory MP defected to UKIP but, as it happens, the defector refused to release UKIP's short money: bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-3… All the past wrangling likely disappears tonight. And Short Money becomes another reason for the Conservatives to fear Mr. Farage.

For years, Tory sweat & treasure has been spent keeping Nigel Farage from the Commons. One Tory staffer even committed election spending fraud fighting him in South Thanet in 2015: judiciary.uk/wp-content/uplo… Mr. Farage has often cited this during the 2024 campaign in Clacton.

I met @AndrewFoster101 outside Great Ormond Street Hospital last May. He explained how his 16 month old son, Rycroft, had met extraordinary health challenges during his short life with rare and abiding bravery. Rycroft passed in June. This link has more:

The Gov't is looking for English schools with "aero-bar"
RAAC concrete roofs at risk of collapse. A year ago, they sent school bodies a questionnaire - but @JaneDodgeC4 C4 News reveals that 1 in 3 haven't replied. "A time bomb" says one expert. And we don't yet know where it is
