Done the career bit, done with the pomp and swank.
The emotional pain of loosing two of my children is overwhelming.
I deal with it by helping people wherever I can.
Angry about poverty.
Living quietly in East Wivelshire.

The IRS unit that audits ultrawealthy earners has lost 38% of its employees this year.
This will starve the government of revenue by making it easier for the rich to evade taxes — which the top 1% already do to the tune of $163B a year.
See what DOGE is really about?

There is a massive row between Rupert Lowe and Nigel Farage over at The Other Place, but this quote from Farage to the Telegraph seems the heart of it: Farage ordered Lowe to not use "repatriation" in the speech. He doesn't seek the AfD path, and knows that would cap Reform's support a lot.

This is completely insane. Legal types, do get in touch with family if you can help.
Deeply concerning news about our friend and former BF teammate Rebecca Burke whose backpacking trip to the US has ended with her being detained by ICE for over ten days, with no clear timeline for her release. Please read her father's statement here: www.facebook.com/paulrburke

Trouble in the boardroom
I’m thinking 2 thought trains about the WestWing ambush atm.
Either Trump is doing the GoRinNoSho strategy to lure Putin onto a false sense of security hook,
Or,he has achieved what he wanted in getting Europe to cough up and not rely on the US so much.
Either or, Vance’s future Prez chance is slim

Starmer literally having Zelenskyy’s back today while trying to build bridges.
Somehow a huge relief to watch Starmer doing this so incredibly well.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

The UK is where it is because of austerity, Conservative policy, Brexit and COVID.
There is no quick fix.
Poor attitudes and work ethics are compounding the existing problems.
Everyone really needs to play a positive role in what can only be seen as a monumental task.
Time to dig deep Citizens.
