The only principled stance is to punish Russia into retreat: militarily, economically, diplomatically. Let the future imperialists see what becomes of invaders.

It's a mark of our moral disintegration that there's even a discussion about Ukraine giving up land. To even countenance it is to reward colonialism.

For decades its been normal to hve over £20b headroom.
To argue we shouldn't try & lift 100's of 1000's of kids out of poverty is grotesque.

Now "Reeves increased taxes when the OBR said economy/finances are rosy".
Yes Lab are slowly turning economy round.
But to suggest due to a surprise extra £4bil she didn't need to increase taxes for headroom & to fix a broken country/publc services is insane

Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances.
A new decade-long Brexit study explains it:
a 6–8% hit to GDP – that's £180bn-£240bn a year – means less tax, less investment and less money for everything else.
Brexit made Britain poorer. Much poorer.
