Jim #Ratcliffe, a very rich man who doesn't pay his taxes, shows us how bigoted he really is. #Farage, true to form, seeing the possibility for division & hate, leaps in with eyes closed to stir the pot of loathing. These two deserve each other. #RejoinEU #ClimateCrisis #StandwithUkraine

#Mandelson's lies always focused around money, back to the Blair govt. The biggest problem that Andrew Mountbatten #Windsor faces at the moment is deciding on the wallpaper for his new home, a manor house on the Monarch's private estate. UK people want Govt that puts the vast majority at the centre.

shorturl.at/MqiNA Trump's condescending, contemptuous & disgusting comments give an insight into a twisted mind. Any reasonable empathic person knows that a draft dodger should never denigrate servicemen. Of couse Trump has form, in fact he's denigrated US servicemen in the same breath as others.

#Trump's incoherence & irrationality really coming home to roost. He threatens the existence of Nato by pushing for control over #Greenland, even though the people of Greenland don't want US domination. He imposes tariffs but wants cooperation from the same countries on #Gaza!!

#Gaza 'Board of Peace' raises many questions. Put aside the wild delusional rhetoric of #Trump & we have a proposed Board to develop Gaza with not one person from Gaza on it. Such arrangements used to by called colonialism. Trump is more concerned with greed, personal aggrandisement and narcissism.
