Trump's response that Putin has gone 'crazy' with his latest attacks on Kyiv is very worrying. Putin can't easily back down unless pressed but feels Trump's weak response means he can act without repercussions. Trump's blowhard vacilation of bravado, boastfulness and cowardice endangers us all.

A billion pounds guarantees an income of well over £5m a year. Who can spend that!
EAT THE RICH 🤬

Why are the rich so fookin greedy. They can never spend what they already have 🤬

If you had $1 BILLION and spent $100,000 PER DAY, it would take you 27 YEARS to spend it all 😲

...and those guys have much much more than that, another Billion means fook all 🤬

There are no tax benefits to the wealthy in buying up chippies and corner shops.
Disappointed to hear Ed Davey using the term Family Farm Tax to describe the very favourable IHT terms available to agricultural land. There are lots of small family run businesses in the UK, chippies, corner shops etc, they aren't exempt from IHT and don't have favourable terms.

Add that the US "democracy" also means that big money beats voters' choices.

As Trump tries to scrub facts and information from US government websites, social media will finally start to come into its own by allowing ordinary people to spread the truth and discuss its implications.
Thanks for sharing again @bylines.scot - I must admit when I wrote this, little did I realise how fiercely the #DEI debate would become with Trumps outrageous insinuations - We do need to restate the purpose of initiatives as I set out but in USA for sure they’re fighting a more fundamental battle.
This was very timely this week...

"On 20 January 2025, the USA carried out the wholesale destruction of DEI roles, policies and initiatives by demonising them, taking people out of key roles and giving departments 60 days to terminate DEI practices."

Perhaps someone should ask the Mogg why, if union members are so greedy, do he and his lucky ilk have loads-a-money whilst most workers are struggling to make ends meet. Joining a union just means it's more likely you'll have decent working conditions, including pay that might cover the bills.

Musk has now threatened the leaders of Canada,Brazil, Germany. X helped create a riot in the UK. Now it seems he doesn't want the UK to make its own legal decisions. Time to act?
"He asked why British far-right figurehead Tommy Robinson had been imprisoned at all. Musk also approvingly shared Robinson’s documentary to his more than 200 million followers"

Musk's interventions should be taken seriously. The ideological leanings of oligarchical media barons can affect us all.
Elon Musk brands UK a ‘tyrannical police state’
X owner shares a petition demanding a UK general election and boosts a far-right activist.

The divisive, prejudiced bullshit of this ‘story’ in this right wing rag is exactly why our country is in such a mess. This kind of ruinous idiocy has isolated us, smashed up our economy and shattered our trust in politics.
One quick glance at the government website to check the truth….
