The government has published no evidence to suggest that cutting disability benefits will get people back to work.
The evidence it has published found that these cuts would plunge hundreds of thousands of people into poverty.

Really what is going on here is that Trump is appropriating other people's wars, other people's sacrifices, other people's suffering for his own political gain.
He's not alone in that but as the people who lived through the wars drift away it is all the more repellent to witness.

Trump: We'll have two victory days, World War I and World War II. In the future we're going to have a major celebration of each day. We're not going to have days off because we don't have enough days in the year. We have too many celebrations already.

I'm sure we're going to see the very people who have trashed its legacy seek to appropriate WW2 today - so let's remember what was really fought for: peace, a more united Europe, a land fit for heroes (mark 2) and the defeat of fascism.

Piers Morgan is a POS but man is this interview wild - based on the way her tone changes I don't think she realized the implications of what she said until after she said it.

British veterans who have served in modern conflicts often feel like an afterthought compared with the heroes of the two world wars — and are faced with hollow promises of support from the UK government.
How Britain lost respect for its veterans
Former service personnel who have seen the treatment of veterans in America think the U.K. could learn something — and make up for successive broken promises.

I watched Louis Thereaux’ The Settlers last night, in which he hears from a number of illegal Israeli settlers. The fundamentalism on display is astounding. Hearing the Rabbi preach about inhuman Palestinians is hardly “man of god” stuff. And the guns - guns everywhere. A depressing watch

Sounds like Labour are sprinting to get a US trade deal done before their 19 May EU talks.
Key things to watch out for:
- Concessions we made?
- Hampers our EU talks?
- Stops us rejoining the EU?
- Leaves us net worse off than before Trump's tariffs?
- Stops future Trump tariffs on other sectors?
