Wondering what the HMRC would have done if I'd neglected to declare £380,000 on account of the fact that "I don't do computers."

Renee Good was shot 3 times by ICE
The first two shots were non lethal. One to her left forearm & another to right breast
The final shot entered the left side of her head & exited the right side
He didn’t have to keep shooting. He was out of the vehicle’s path before the kill shot
That’s murder

Most remaining Russian troops in Kupyansk are now concentrated in a single downtown block, said Viktor Trehubov, head of communications for the Joint Forces Group. He said Ukrainian forces are working to complete the cleanup of the area “preferably without casualties among our soldiers.” #Ukraine

No MP should be earning £380,000 on top of their parliamentary salary.
Farage manages it because he's turned "politainment" into a viable career. Like his US counterparts he's discovered that being a disruptor can make you very wealthy indeed.

I often find in a week like this that once the praise and glory has faded, the subtle changes have the most impact and lasting effect. Starmer comes out of this week stronger and even more respected. Not many have victories over Musk and Trump, let alone in a week.

Good suffered three bullet wounds. Two were not life-threatening, according to the autopsy. The third "struck her on the left side of her head near the temple, and exited on the right side of her head." Seems that had to be either shot #2 or # 3 which Ross fired when he was not in danger's way.
