Join the band of reasonable, empathetic people who are happy to pay a little more tax to alleviate the hardships and disadvantages of poverty. Those who are shouting loudly about the injustices of paying for others, sadly are apathetic individuals mired in self-interest or prejudice. #Budget2025

The brutality of the Trump-Putin alliance that has been unleashed on Ukraine in recent days is staggering. It comes as no surprise, but it is still shocking.
Whether it likes it or not, Europe has become the last stronghold of the rule of law.
