Real issue now is how Trump sees himself.

He’s listening to all the Israel/Palestine praises-thinks he’s omnipotent & a candidate for NPeace award.

He can’t work out how the world views his US tactics/cruel attacks on society/manslaughter and attacking “Democracy”! That’s war not peace in US!🤷‍♀️

How austerity hit young people.

In the decade after 2010 councils’ funding for youth services in England and Wales suffered a real-terms cut of 70%.

By 2023, 1,200 publicly run youth centres closed.

Young people abandoned to fund tax cuts for corporations the rich.

Britain's youth clubs have been quietly decimated. What's most revealing is that few seem to care | John Harris

I am thinking about the thousands of people who were killed in the Gaza-war the past 2 years.

As much as today is a day to be happy over the release of the Israeli hostages, let's please also make it a day to commemorate these losses! 🇵🇸🕊️🇮🇱

Executives at BMW want to meet the chancellor about the car loans scandal.

Car companies resent paying compensation.

Auto companies lied about diesel emissions, resent paying victims.

Simple advice to capitalists - don't lie and cheat to boost profits, exec pay, dividends.

Not trusted on that point AND for his many other negative stands against society, AND for his misleading & dishonest representation of his constituency AND his bigotry(always worms its way into his speeches). PLUS his “me only” attitude by his actions. He’s a gobshite & cannot be trusted to govern!🤷‍♀️
