The fact that someone even needs to say it out loud is hilarious. It's so obvious there's a supply shortfall.

This Ukraine peace stuff is very depressing. Trump just trying to pile pressure on Ukraine.
EU coalition of the willing starting to look incredibly weak as they have no impetus and nothing to offer. Maybe a bit of cash but no weapons of their own and in reality can't even defend themselves now.

My son's school had an open morning today. Basically parents go in for 2 hours to be shown what they do in classes. It's great, all schools should.
In a reading session we saw loads of books they have. I picked up and flicked through "No money day".
Had to dry my eyes after. Great book for kids.

That was one heck of a fight back by the Americans. Shows the quality of that team. How they came back today is a story in itself.

I don't really care about Rayner or whether she pays tax. Lets be honest, it's nice to see an MP that has standards after the Tory shit show.
Can we just talk about how bad a tax stamp duty is and replace it with something that doesn't restrict the movement of labour in order to grow the economy?!
