This three minutes and twelve second clip of GB News getting absolutely owned on Brexit is one of the best things I’ve seen on this site in a while.

Vance attacked Romania again. Also said that the US will not continue alliances with countries that don’t share their (trump & co) values. I can share this with you right now Mr. Vance: - No, we don’t love Russia. - No, we don’t do sieg h**s. - No, we are not autocratic. 1/
