Jim Acosta just powerfully announced on air he is leaving CNN with the words: "It is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant." He added, "Don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to the fear. Hold on to the truth and to hope." Amen. Jim will be missed.

Anyone with a basic grasp of elementary mathematics could work out that this is a no-brainer. Plenty contemplating the loss of billionaires from today's society would be clutching at their glass pearls around their necks & weeping for the elite. Trust me, The elite would survive.

Scottish Labour, scared of disagreeing with Sir Keir, have ordered their MSPs to sit on their hands & abstain on the Scottish budget vote that will restore the winter fuel payment & end the 2 child cap (rape clause).
