PFI is where Private Investment build NHS buildings and then the NHS rents it.
The result is the NHS permanently has 'no money' because it has to pay huge rent costs and the Government goes, "Oh dear we will have to cut services."

If a local police department assists ICE in kidnapping people, are they eventually going to be held criminally liable too? Accountability must happen. We can't bend the knee to fascism and police who assist are as culpable a anyone else.

Strengthening Ukraine’s wartime economy can set the stage for peace
The US and Europe must take steps to strengthen Ukraine’s economic resilience if they wish to convince Putin that his dreams of outlasting the West are futile and persuade Russia to begin serious peace negotiations, writes Zahar Hryniv.

Only under Trump have we ever been worried about the military being ordered to do something illegal. Rightfully so because this administration doesn’t care about the Constitution. They probably don’t even know what’s in the Constitution to begin with. 🔄

You have to ask, why was Witkoff chosen for this critically important role of special envoy to Putin? He had no diplomatic or foreign policy experience. No education on those subjects. So of all people, why him? I think what we all surmised is clear - Putin wanted Witkoff.

When I've written and made appearances about Trump's weakness, this is what I'm talking about.
The avalanche of losses (political, legal, cultural) that Trump and his authoritarian ambitions have been dealt are mounting.
The threat is still real, but he's very clearly flailing.

This is just amateurish buffoonery that confirms this Administration’s foreign policy is alternatively Russian-directed and totally directionless. Such an embarrassment. Our enemies delight.

Trump is setting up Putin to attack Ukraine again as soon as they regroup.That’s not what a peace plan is.We need to tell Putin to get out of Ukraine with zero gain,continue sanctions and global ostracism, and invite Ukraine to join nato. If Putin says no, we help Ukraine end him. He’s the criminal.

Why do the Irish far-right not understand that alleged rapists cannot be named to protect the victim. The victim can waive their right to anonymity once they're an adult and chose to do so. A child cannot do the same. It has nothing to do with ethnicity. It's the law.
