Musk and Trump hate the EU for the same reasons Farage and Putin hate it. It stands for civil rights, the rule of law, and regulation of oligarchs

He’s got away with untold crimes, lies & offences. He’s achieved the highest office in the land. Twice. He’s lining his pockets on an industrial scale & persecuting his enemies for fun. But he’s still a miserable, bitter, humourless & furious man. Because deep inside, he knows *exactly* who he is.

There is no economic need for any austerity or welfare cuts.
Since 2010 HMRC failed to collect between £500bn and £1,400bn of taxes
That doesn't include £bns lost due to corporations shifting profits offshore.
Indulgence of corporations/rich is cause of misery for millions.

UK governments are failing to curb corporate tax abuses and leaving people to pay the price
Governments remain obsessed with austerity and choose not to inconvenience the rich or curb tax abuses by corporations.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Trump is handing 20% or more of Ukraine to Putin. What next?
Trump wants Greenland, Canada, Panama, Gaza, Ukraine minerals.
Xi will want Taiwan and more.
More countries will acquire nuclear weapons to prevent territorial grabs.

Gap between what banks charge borrowers and pay savers has increased. Banks make £30bn extra profit.
Another £40bn profit a year - Govt pays interest on central bank reserves created through QE to facilitate bank transactions. Shouldn't pay any.
