On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher said that Iran “probably” cheated on the JCPOA “the whole time, but it turned out Obama was right.

And even Biden, with the way they got on him for the way he got out of Afghanistan, at least he got out of Afghanistan. But especially this, — I was always trying to defend that, when I talked to Trump, I was…

As speculation runs rampant in Westminster over the political shelf-life of the Starmer administration, chief rival Andy Burnham is entering parliament after this week’s special by-election in Makerfield, enabling the former Manchester Mayor to launch a leadership challenge against the deeply unpopular Labour Party leader.
