Trump has never once in his life extemporaneously used the phrase "western civilization." He was once asked about western liberalism and thought they were talking about California Democrats. One of the more blatant tells for a Miller-written screed.
Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

Can anyone explain why Farage gets wall-to-wall news coverage for announcing policies that he may or may not do in four years time, but when his long-term colleague & Brexit partner is jailed for spouting EXACTLY the same pro-Kremlin propaganda as him....

Something that Trump’s hapless crew seem completely unable to understand.
We still need to get from a situation where Russia pretends to negotiate to a situation where they need to negotiate.

The war will end when the Ukrainian army withdraws from Ukraine.
Putin told reporters that the fighting will end when Ukrainian forces withdraw from the territories they currently hold.

Serious howls of outrage in the media this morning at what is a relatively modest Budget from Labour that does nothing more than fiddle around the margins.
It does highlight the missed opportunity. If you’re going to get this reaction anyway, why not at least get it for attempting a big swing?

Are tax rises the result of 'out-of-control' welfare spending?
We've dug into the numbers to examine whether the scale of welfare spending has shifted, and how feasible it would be to cut it back significantly 👇

The easiest thing the Labour government could've done on immigration: Just take credit for numbers that are falling anyway! You don't need to change anything!
Instead, the way they've talked about migration has allowed the public to think immigration is going *up*.
Utter political incompetence.

Most of the public think net migration increased last year, when in fact numbers halved.
New findings from the Ipsos/British Future Immigration Attitudes Tracker show that 56% of the public thinks immigration increased last year. Just 1 in 6 realise it was down

I wish I was surprised. Buried in this Budget is a plan to slash the Digital Services Tax, giving a multi-billion tax cut to US tech giants and the likes of Elon Musk.
That's right, cutting taxes for the world's richest man while hiking them for millions of hard-working Brits.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?
