Being honest, I think the UK has probably run its course as a union of four nations.

Today's Budget won't be a disaster - a long way from it - and it will do some very important things like removing the two-child benefit cap.
It will also leave the structural predicament of the UK economy and state in place.

📌If these anti-American fascists will come after a patriot like Mark Kelly, they'll damn sure come after you.
They are desperate, have no ideas for improving America, and stand with a woman-abusing, draft-dodging, America-attacking goon, who is rotting from the inside out.
They must be stopped.
