This story is starting to make me feel I’m going slightly mad - maybe RR overdid the gloom, but the tax rises are paying for a) the welfare U-turns b) the £10bn-plus increase in headroom c) scrapping the two child limit d) bits of other spending eg higher local gov costs 🤷🏻♀️

Nigel Farage, who has made more than £200,000 from second jobs, thinks we should cut the minimum wage for younger workers? You can't make this up.

Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

Would the Supreme Court rule that taking a bribe for a pardon was an "official act" by the president and immune from prosecution? I'm serious. If Trump announced he was selling pardons for $1M a pop, could anyone do anything about it, short of impeachment? (Which carries no prison sentence.)

WHY DOES TRUMP WANT A WAR? HERE'S WHY...
Presidential ratings go up when there are wars, a phenomenon known as the "rally around the flag effect."
He wants a war with Venezuela because he wants better ratings and he wants a war he can win.
He is the most disgusting, dangerous person on the planet

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet.

The Trump administration believes that the rich and powerful should be pardoned for their crimes, even after judges and juries determined their guilt.
But if you’re a non-white guy in a fishing boat, there’s no need for a trial or even an arrest. Murder from above, no questions asked.

When this criminal was jailed, the judge told David Gentile and America: ‘This is a warning to would-be fraudsters that seeking to get rich by taking advantage of investors gets you only a one-way ticket to jail.’ I guess not

Putin is a war criminal and tRump is Putin's Puppet
Vladimir Putin calls the leaked Bloomberg tape of Steve Witkoff and Yuri Ushakov conspiring to manipulate Trump "criminal espionage." He didn't want anyone to know that he was doing this - and he's visibly angry about it.

83 counts of 1st degree murder! What's that add up to with all of Trump's already felonies?
He and Trump must be held accountable for this. It was in fact first-degree murder, with zero excuses and zero defense. 83 counts so far.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

Important conversation. But the conclusion understates the case. It is not that handing Russia the huge territory that contains Ukraine’s best defenses would “not necessarily” bring peace. It is that so doing would guarantee a bloodier and longer war.
