Paul Nowak of the TUC is spot on about Labour's plan for £2bn in Whitehall cuts being ideological, part of a new austerity.
Also that Brexit is partly responsible for having to spend so much more on civil servants.
Overwhelming logic is to #RejoinEU.

"But, after years of delays and setbacks, the project — which the government estimated would cost £330 million in total to deliver — has still not seen the light of day."

What a complete waste of time and money.

Musk did not buy X to protect free speech. He bought it to promote the far-right. It is now being used to silence dissenters against authoritarian government.

It’s the Reform Party’s lack of patriotism that does it for me.
While the rest of us see the damage that Trump is doing to the U.K. and are appalled by it, Farage is fundraising for him.
It’s America first for him and Clacton last.

UK billionaires added £182,000,000,000 to their wealth last year. That’s £35,000,000 every single day.

Their combined wealth is £795,361,000,000.

So don't let anyone tell you austerity is a “necessity”. There’s more than enough wealth to fund our NHS, public services & welfare.

We’re in the market for two EVs.

We have two kids with older vehicles who will replace them within 2 years.

Prior to learning what a sh*t bag Musk is, Tesla was the top contender.

Today, all 4 of us have committed to never buying a Tesla.

What is wrong with this guy?

The UK's 'unaffordable' Welfare costs.

Actually 2% lower now than in 2013-2017.

And not actually predicted to increase at all.

Respect to the lone protestor standing outside South Shields town hall holding a sign saying "Tax wealth, Not work". Didn't have the chance to snap a pic as I breezed by on a bus, but he did get a thumbs up from me at least.

As for Trump, so also for Farage. Would you really vote Reform to make your country a better place to live in?

Of course he's laughing at us, Boris.

And you are as responsible for this as anyone.

You filled your pockets with his gold. You hobnobbed with his oligarchs, you swapped titbits of confidential information with his spies.

And you sold Britain down the Swanee with his Brexit.

You should seriously consider using European digital products in preference to those US ones owned by tech billionaires who bear ill-will towards Europe and who fund the far-right.

The Putin and Trump regimes cannot be allowed to dictate the future of Ukraine.

European democracies must boost support for Ukraine so that Ukraine gets a just peace that recognises its sovereignty and territorial integrity, and ensures Russia cannot attack Ukraine or other European states again.

Putin wants the European borders of 1945 behind an iron curtain 2.0 giving Russia Ukraine, Eastern Europe and one third of Germany all of which would be ruled by Putin‘s puppets and exploited to the benefit of Russian oligarchs. Perhaps people like the orange clown should pay attention
