According to the New Yorker, Donald Trump and his family profited off the presidency by an estimated $4 billion in 2025 — mostly through shady crypto deals.

That amounts to $456,621 per hour.

But how are you doing?

It should be abundantly clear by now that Donald Trump and his racist thugs are lying to you about immigrants.

Here's the truth.

Disability Rights UK's Statement on the government’s planned benefits cuts

French lower house votes through wealth tax.

A 2% minimum tax rate on the wealth of individuals whose net worth exceeds €100m.

It is not yet law.

UK needs to do similar to reduce inequalities. Instead govts penalise low/middle income families and make poor pay more for crumbling infrastructure.

Average UK state pension (SP) is £10,500 a year.

In 2022, 110,000 pensioners died from fuel poverty.

28% of over 55-year-olds have no other pension saved, will completely rely on SP.

23% of 18-34-year-olds expect to solely rely on SP.

Crisis looming. SP must be aligned with the living wage.
Pensioner poverty in the world’s sixth largest economy is a political choice
The hardship inflicted on retirees now will surely visit future retirees unless steps are taken to alleviate misery.

Private equity reduces patient healthcare, enriches investors, US Senate report finds.

Cuts staffing/wages, profiteers, neglects investment, harms patients.

Yet UK handed, social care, GP surgeries, NHS to PE.

30%-40% of money vanishes in profits.

End the scam.

I seem to have upset the Nigel Farage fan club - so let me be clear.

This man sows hate, lies and division.

He is a grifter and a conman.

He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.

Repost if you agree

P.s. multiculturalism is great.
