Have you noticed that your salary buys less than it used to?

Have you noticed that it is affecting middle-class, professionals as well as the working class?

Have you noticed that a few people, a tiny group, are richer than anyone has ever been?

Co-incidence?

I sit and wait
Does an angel need a diamond blade?
And do they know,
It needs a transformer cos its 110 volt?
Cos I have been told, that carborundum makes their wings unfold.
So when i'm cutting out the bed
Dust flying round my head
And I see a splash of red
I'm grinding angels instead

Trump and Musk are going after Social Security, Medicaid, the VA, and public education.

In what universe, in what world, in what religion is it morally acceptable to cut programs for hungry children in order to reward the wealthy?

Dear Canadians. I hope you know that we in the UK are in this with you. We hate what is happening to you. Your security is our security. This is a fight for the world order, and one we must win.

At a time when the rule of law is under global attack, those electronic books people have made the Sunday Times bestseller #FakeLaw a Kindle Monthly Deal, a stonking 99p.

Those in power misrepresent the law to advance their own agendas.

Don’t let them lie to you.

Europe needs to push their military satellite technology.

It can't rely on the US any more

Europe needs to keep developing its own military aircraft, like the Eurofighter. It can't rely on the US any more

Europe needs to start developing its own anti-aircraft systems, its own hitech munitions, its own long range artillery. It can no longer trust the US

@brianmoore666.bsky.social you are a man of the arts. How do you score it?
There should be a Six Nations table for singing national anthems. I'm starting with Wales at the top and England at the bottom, but how would you place the others?

How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes?

Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce.

Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.

Having failed to exclude Zelenskyy, they sought to bully him.

Having failed to bully him, they sought to bribe him.

Having failed to bribe him, they sought to discredit him.

Maybe they will get round him one way or another, but you can see how frustrated they are at him holding on.

I choose Zelenskyy over Trump, Musk and Putin.

That is my vote

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

If China, Russia, US are allowed to decide Europe's future, our future won't be ours.
