More impunity for the elite, courtesy of the Trump regime.
There's a law on the books to make corporations pay taxes on the huge profits they report to shareholders.
The Trump admin has quietly decided not to enforce it.
This de facto corporate tax break will add hundreds of billions to the deficit.
Why is no one talking about this?

Reinstating the winter fuel allowance is vital, but Farage’s plan to pay for it by cutting the Net Zero budget is madness - locking us into *higher* energy bills by increasing reliance on costly gas imports, rather than supporting cheaper green energy to get bills down for all of us 🙄

Fifty-Fifty-One is the organization that is coordinating the nation wide protest against Trump and Elon. If you can make it to an event on April 19th, this is your time to show the world you do not support Trump's unconstitutional power grabs.

“Going backwards on Brexit” means what exactly?
Nearly 10yrs on from an absurdly simplistic referendum, lumbered with a Brexit shitshow and Trump creating merry hell, we must improve our relationship(and trade)with the EU. Urgently.
Not being honest about that is the most backward thing imaginable.

Asked whether Trump's trade war means the UK will now consider re-entering a customs union with the EU, Keir Starmer's spokesman replies that "we're not going backwards when it comes to Brexit"

I do not recognize the country that I currently live in now. Elon Musk is dictating all of our domestic policies and Vladimir Putin is dictating all of our foreign policies.
This is not America.

Nervous Musk, Trump, Vance have all been outclassed in public arguments these last few days. Government failure, stock market crash, and dictatorial alliances are not popular. People are starting to realize that there is no truth here beyond the desire for personal wealth and power. (2/2)

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

Trump is on the brink of betraying Ukraine and the UK.
Britain must lead in Europe by increasing defence spending immediately and all political parties should get round the table to make that happen.
I fear what happens if we don't take this step.

Congrats Trump voters,
You elected an adjudicated rapist business fraud who is once again going to use the power of the presidency to extort other countries for his own financial benefit while saddling our nation with even more debt, but at least an imaginary immigrant isn’t eating your cats & dogs.

Not a perfect man. Not a perfect president. But such a better man and better president than either Elon Musk or Donald Trump that hopefully he's well aware his legacy will outshine theirs forever. He got bills passed no one thought possible, oversaw a historic pandemic recovery, and modeled decency.

If Brexit was in any way good or had worked, no one, not even the most ardent and paranoid Brexiter, would be worried about its future because it would already be assured. They are only panicking now because it has so evidently failed.

BBC’s Chris Mason calls Farage a “master of storytelling”
Maybe the BBC could stop helping him out and tell another story.One about a grifting prejudiced conman who’s wrecked our country with his ‘Breaking Point’ Brexit but has never been held to account for the lies he’s told, the damage he’s done.

Labour should be much bolder on Brexit.
Even their most innocuous, microscopic move is treated as extraordinary betrayal by the RW media.
This was predictable. It's what they always do. Hundreds of journalism jobs depend on attacking Labour.
But with attitudes like that, why not go the whole hog?
