This is a great explanation of the difference between 1 million and 1 billion, and how huge the wealth gap has become.

Pretty much sums up the Reforms (and labours) view on refugees. Only difference is those ships were not filled with refugees - just imperial concours. So The natives would be right, the UK rasists wrong.

The rants of a very unstable imbecile. People who do good have no need to rant about it - the results speak for themselves. Without results, well, someone has to believe there are some! What a pitiful excuse of a human being!
This is not a healthy message from a head of state.

A president this obsessed with imaginary victories and individual reporters is not stable leadership.

The hostility toward the press, the personal attacks on a reporter’s appearance, it’s all a warning siren.👇

Greetings from Kyiv,
where the night was calm.

I’m having a warcoffee after the workout.
Today I asked where the cups with flowers are (maybe you remember them).
‘Oh, the production was damaged during one of the attacks,’ they said.

Talk like a duck and walk like a duck, then you probably are a duck. I know one of his contemporaries - Farage walked like a nazi and talked like a nazi so he probably was a ... Not owning up and distancing himself from it makes it worse, as he obviously sees no harm in it still! Bastard!
Bossy headline from The Times letting Farage insist his “Hitler was right” racism was just ‘banter’.
If that were true, his politics now would be different and he’d apologise. He’s defensive because this is what he is and always has been and he’s angry with us for knowing that and for minding.

23,000 people died because Boris Johnson was too busy walking a dog, riding a motorbike and hosting guests as he took four days off at Chevening, instead of addressing warning signs of the pandemic

Why isn't Boris Johnson in jail?

When people are forced to choose between paying rent, feeding their family, or seeing a doctor, our society has failed.

We need a system that guarantees universal access because life and health are not negotiable.

Anything less is injustice dressed up as policy.

TACO's plan for Ukraine is as bad as Chamberlain's Agreement with Hitler in 30 September 1938. A disgrace of a human being proposing a betrayal of Ukraine and trying to call it a peace plan! He is 100% Putins asset! This "plan" in itself should be enough to impeach TACO.
