presence. they were busy and it s up their minds. said they spent all their time and all their money buying gifts for a kid down the street so all the things that you asked for a gift to another 9-year-old you ve never met. how does it make you feel? will you would be crushed, but you would also be vindicated. you would know for a dead certain fact that your parents really didn t love you they are really even that interested in you. that s how a lot of americans felt last night watching the house of representatives approved yet another massive aid package for ukraine. like i get nothing against ukraine but we could probably use that money here right about now. after a hundred years of virtually uninterrupted wealth generation the american economy appears to be faltering in ways that are scary to anyone is paying attention. even people who are paying attention can sense that there s something really wrong. most people aren t working but those who are are getting poorer quickly
campaigning in wales today, but his efforts to promote the conservative s welsh manifesto were overshadowed by questions about tory insiders allegedly gambling on the date of the election. the prime minister insisted multiple independent investigations were under way and that any tories found to have broken betting rules would be booted out of the party. lets take a listen: there are full investigations that are currently happening. it s right that those investigations are allowed to proceed. they are independent. they are necessarily confidential, as you will appreciate. there s also a criminal investigation, and these are potentially criminal matters and the police are conducting those. you ll be aware of that. and because of that, i hope you can appreciate there s not much more i can add. what i can tell you is, as i said, if anyone is found to have broken the rules, they should not only face the full consequences of the law, i will ensure that they are booted out of t
