Well, well.

It has only taken 9.322 years, or 11.87 months, or 3,405 days, or 4,903,200 minutes.

Put it down to reluctance to admit buyer's remorse, or stupidity, it has taken a hell of a long time to get even this far - to a place whose shape we foreshadowed, some of us, at the time.

It should have ended - with a stake through the heart of his campaign - when THIS was broadcast to the peoples of the world (possibly excluding North Korea).

He's an idiot - and I write that as one who lived through UK's #ClowningStreet years.

End the Moscow-Washington Axis & remove his powers.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: We are not losing this war and Putin is not winning. His army is in a weak position now. They could occupy 1% of our land, but they spent 1.3 million people.

I don't understand why the leader of the largest country on Earth need some more kilometers. This war is about our independence.

Israel is breaking the Ceasefire and is still starving the people of Gaza

The only point behind the Ceasefire was to get the Israeli hostages

Now Israel will continue to escalate, while the Western Media/Politicians ignore it, until Hamas strike back

Then it's back to Genocide

OK, so our "Secretary of War" currently has two big priorities: (1) murdering innocent fishermen in the Caribbean, and (2) endangering the lives of commuters in Southern California.

Perhaps, we are seeing one of the downsides to having a drunk TV talk show chatterbox running our military.

Amazing story in The Times. Reform UK failed to pay VAT to HMRC on its sales (tickets, merchandise). About £400k in all.

Not tax avoidance. Not tax evasion. They just didn't realise when you sell stuff you have to charge VAT.
