One other thought - Rubio, Hegseth, Trump etc’s concept of greatness is so narrow- what about medical researchers, scientists, engineers, environmental experts etc finding life saving cures, energy efficient mechanisms, water-saving measures, disease resistant crops etc. Aren’t they today’s heroes?
Rubio’s world view - hailing the alleged greatness of men (all men!) such as Alexander, Caesar, the Conquistador Hernan Cortes - glossing over the millions who died in their wake, the civilizations destroyed, the people enslaved in their pursuit of glory 🧵

You’re responsible for nothing but damage. Not one good thing. Not one proud moment. You’re forever a shameful disgrace who threw his own mandate in the bin.

Every day there is a story about BBC having to make cuts. It's really weird that #Strictly is paying 3 people to do the job of at most 2. Emma Willis is excellent but being prevented from doing the job properly by having an unnecessary, out of place co-presenter next to her. Bizarre
