JD Vance warned he's 'utterly unwelcome' over UK vacation plans
Brainwashed? I think that the Brits got a right to be informed about such an outstanding POTUS. There are so many things what makes him so different to all former presidents, start from Lincoln on. -

You are so right on this one. If the UK public watched Fox News they would receive a much more balanced and nuanced view of American politics. -

Report Beauty Queen Stirs Thai Politics with Cash Scandal Allegations
Photo of Netdao Watchainanwong courtesy of Bangkok Post A beauty queen-turned-entrepreneur, Netdao Watchainanwong, has ignited a political scandal by accusing Sutham Jaritngam, an MP from Thailand's ruling Palang Pracharath Party (PPRP), of accepting an illicit cash transfer. Netdao, known widely as Madame Cher, lodged a formal complaint with the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), asserting that Sutham unlawfully received 120,000 baht (about 320,000 Thai Baht) from her account. Previously a public relations aide to PPRP leader Prawit Wongsuwan, Netdao claims Sutham violated anti-corruption laws. She provided the NACC with transaction records and chat screenshots to substantiate her allegations. The two reportedly had a close relationship until a fallout with Prawit ended her political involvement. “I’ve handed over everything, the transaction slip, our chat history; the truth will come out,” Netdao stated. Thai law prohibits MPs and state officials from accepting money or gifts from private individuals unless certain criteria are fulfilled. While gifts from family members may be permitted if motivated by personal affection, gifts from others must not exceed 3,000 baht (approximately 8,000 Thai Baht). Any amount above this must be reported to the NACC within 30 days and is considered state property. The 120,000 baht in question far surpasses this limit, prompting Netdao to seek quick action from the NACC, demanding a response within 15 days. “I’m not letting this go,” she insisted. “People need to know who they’re voting for.” The intrigue deepens as Netdao plans another explosive complaint related to an alleged bribery case involving a business operating within a national park. She alleges this case involves a former Cabinet minister, alongside the minister's daughter and son-in-law. Despite the gravity of the accusation, the NACC has not yet publicly responded to her initial complaint. This isn’t the first time Thai politics has been rocked by allegations of financial misconduct, but Madame Cher’s prominent status and decision to publicly confront the issue could amplify pressure on the PPRP. The unfolding drama highlights ongoing challenges in Thai political transparency and accountability, with Netdao’s actions potentially serving as a catalyst for wider scrutiny. As the situation develops, the role of public figures in exposing corruption could become a significant theme in Thailand’s political landscape. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Thaiger 2025-07-22
