Bizarre scenes in the US of A where about 20 MAGA Republican congressmen have decided to derail the process of electing a new speaker. The party’s preferred candidate is Kevin McCarthy but their majority in the house isn’t big enough for him to get the job unless at least some of the dissenters decide to stop mucking about and vote for him.

With stunning lack of self awareness, their preferred rebel candidate in the *fourth* unsuccessful round of votes today was Byron Donalds, a Trump fan and 2021 election denier.
