Starmer should offer Vance some suggestions on how to fix their civilisation decline, exemplified in their fixation on killing each other.
Lies and misinformation have become so normalised within the USA administration that it seldom gets challenged. This article is a good attempt and highlighting the contempt with which Vance treats the truth for his own means frasernelson.substack.com/p/jd-vance-a...
