Bright New Candidates Look Questionable Up Close
- Rosie Holt describes the new field of voters' options as a mix of fresh and stale personalities, naming Nigel Farage and Zach Polanski.
- She jokes about Zach Polanski promising a miraculous chest expansion to feed 5,000, illustrating absurd campaign claims.
