Closing the loopholes that let foreign billionaires buy influence with British parties should be treated as a matter of national security.

Labour should table urgent legislation, & challenge Reform & the Conservatives to back the patriotic principle that only UK citizens should donate to UK parties

The upcoming budget appears to have cuts to Public Spending and to Benefits.

But there is loads of money available from getting rid of Brexit or taxing the rich instead.

RT if you want to tax the rich, and Like if you want to get rid of Brexit.

Trump isn't interested in anywhere that isn't part of the American continents. He believes in strong men; Putin can have Europe, Xi Jinping and Modi, Asia. God help Taiwan once the new American Fab plants are on stream. He probably doesn't know where Australia is!

Why are some people too dumb to understand that billionaires buy farms because they never have to pay tax, and that if you don't tax it, farmland will keep increasing in price and only be owned by billionaires.

It's not difficult.

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.
