Labour’s persistent failure to address its electorate’s salient concerns is behind the protest vote, asserts DIANE ABBOTT
US POLITICIANS as diametrically opposed as independent socialist Bernie Sanders and right-wing Republican Ted Cruz have called Donald Trump “pathological.” So have medical practitioners and now, so has a judge.
Cruz declared Trump “a pathological liar,” during the Texas senator’s failed 2016 bid for the Republican presidential nomination. Sanders, a senator from Vermont, said the US could not “continue having a pathological liar in the White House,” after the US House of Representatives, then controlled by the Democrats, impeached Trump in December 2019.
Recently a New York Supreme Court judge echoed those views when he handed Trump $355 million in penalties, after finding Trump, his sons and associates guilty last September of committing fraud in building the Trump New York real estate empire. Trump’s two sons Don Jnr and Eric were each ordered to pay $4m for their part in the scheme.
Trump’s cruel Bill will deprive millions of essential medical support while escalating deportations and rewarding the super-rich, writes LINDA PENTZ GUNTER
