We’re closer than ever to winning major tax reforms that could transform the economy for the many.
That’s why the greedy, powerful few are spreading hate and division... they want us distracted.
We’re in the fight of our lives. Chip in today so we can win it together 🤝

Such a lovely story 👇
This could be a long and rambling thread. Be patient with me.
I bought an old mahogany bureau on Ebay. I didn't really want a bureau as we're meant to be downsizing, but it was a beautiful piece & obviously very old. Google lens suggests the brass chased handles are Queen Anne. That's 1702-1714 😯
