If you are watching the King's Speech remember that he is worth £21bn gets hundreds of millions a year tax free.
But he still charges Wind Farms to rent worthless seabed that he 'owns'.
The result £200m a year to him and you pay it on your Energy Bill.

Covid fraud under the Tories cost the UK taxpayer £10.9bn.
VIP lanes and crony contracts.
Lack of anti-fraud controls in Covid scheme.
Money handed out for non-existent employees
Newly formed companies got public money
No competitive tenders
Poor checks on quality.
How much would be recovered?

This is exactly the problem. It’s not a failure of ordinary people, but a craven, abject failure of elites and people in positions of influence, who all know better, but for reasons of self-interest, opportunism or corruption, enable America’s catastrophic fall from grace and self-sabotage.
Only two polling metrics matter:
♦️He has the unwavering support of 50.8% of Congress.
♦️And 66.6% of the Supreme Court.
The other 335 million of us don't factor into his calculations.

@gelliottmorris.com: "many people fundamentally underestimate how unpopular Trump is."
Trump is currently underwater on all key issues, something our corporate elites should consider before capitulating to him.

Reform, with 0.7% of all MPs, featured in 25% of BBC's recent 10pm news bulletins
Astonishingly, a party with 18 times as many MPs as Reform has received one-third less coverage on BBC News at 10.

![“Question,” Epstein wrote to Maxwell on May 23, 2008. “Which one do you prefer,,, lewd and lscivious conduct ,, or procuring minors for prostituion.”
At the time, he and his star-studded team of defense lawyers were closing in on a generous plea deal with federal and state officials in Florida, and Epstein was trying to negotiate the state charges to which he’d plead guilty. Maxwell’s response was matter-of-fact:
From: gmax <gmax[REDACTED]>

"I'm asking you a direct question. Why do you ban journalists who oppose your views from coming to your events? Why did you tell local government not to do interviews with your local newspaper?"

Daily Telegraph today refers to A Rayner’s property “empire”. Whatever you think of her housing arrangements, I don’t think constituency house (bought for 375k in 2016), house in Hove, plus use of ministerial flat in London is an “empire”. Duke of Westminster wont fear a rival!

Suggestion for Keir Starmer -
1) Recognise the State of Palestine, as it’s the right thing to do, saying it’s the inalienable right of the Palestinians - and that UK stands with France.
2) Then say Israel must ceasefire immediately or there will be instant heavy sanctions.
Simple.
