## Resource

REALITY CHECK: A former aide to David Cameron and a hated reality TV star could both cause a political earthquake in California. Britain and the Golden State of California are tied in a doom loop of decline unless both slash their massive overbearing bureaucracies, says former Downing Street guru Steve Hilton. Alongside The Hills’ iconic villain Spencer Pratt, who is running for Mayor of LA, Hilton is tipped to top today’s primary for Governor of America's richest state. Both are backed by Donald Trump after leading the charge on dangerous levels of homelessness, crime and fraud, as well as crippling Net Zero policies. Hilton’s unexpected rise, that would see him become the first Republican since Arnold Schwarzenegger to win in the left wing stronghold ,will baffle many in Britain after he quit the UK in 2012 in a huff over the slow pace of change and useless civil service dither. Harry Cole Saves The West: From Washington DC comes an unflinching, no-apology show confronting the crises shaking the US and UK - open borders, cultural collapse, economic chaos, and threats to our security. Here, American grit meets British backbone to defend faith, family, freedom, and the future of the West. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
