How true is this! I have a parent in a care home and watching the life savings of the residents being poured into private pockets makes my blood boil! If these monies were going into the state sector it would be understandable but into private companies! …How did we allow this to happen 🤷🏼♀️.

This has been going through my mind too. The males are not doing themselves any favours. Survival of the fittest / survival of the thickest…
The world's peace is being trashed by three elderly men.
How did we all let this happen?
Why is the world ruled by men?
We need to give women a chance. They're less likely to fire off missiles & drop bombs, & more likely to talk & make peace.

What Kristi Noem needs to know about habeas corpus:
Habeas corpus: A thousand-year-old legal principle for defending rights that’s getting a workout under the Trump administration
Habeas corpus – a Latin phrase meaning ‘you shall have the body’ – protects any person, whether citizen or not, from being illegally confined. It’s a crucial element of US law.

Well done Germany. This needs to be replicated. Hate-spewing movements have no place in democracy and we need to other them, not normalise them.
Breaking News: Germany classified the right-wing Alternative for Germany party as an extremist group, giving intelligence officials more tools to monitor it.
Far-Right AfD Is Labeled Extremist by Germany’s Intelligence Agency
The designation is certain to inflame debates over whether the party should be banned, though some polls show it to be the most popular in the country.

We're in London today with a big old bus to tell our Govt this country cannot afford cuts. Instead they should tax us, the super rich. A 2% wealth tax alone could raise up to £460mln a week. @Keir_starmer - invest in a fairer economy. Patriotic Millionaires say Tax Our Wealth

Terrible news.
There is no evidence whatsoever linking any vaccine, including the MMR, to autism.
British anti-vaxx charlatan Andrew Wakefield was responsible for spreading that lie in the 1990s.
He was struck off for his fraudulent research.

This is so sensible.
This is the right move. For so many reasons:
A tiny tax on people who will barely notice - £24bn a year to help fund Ukraine and keep up foreign aid - and so much more that’s crying out to be done right here in Britain.
All without putting any more on the shoulders of working people
