Hate injustice, pragmatist, allergic to Trump, & to most current Tories.Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.Don't be fooled into thinking billionaires care about fair wages, public services & your rights.

Yet the UK Media wants us to question Rachel Reeves qualifications.
Badenoch in an interview with Nick Robinson said its fair to say its unchristian to have a welfare state.
Her reasoning for this is bc in early Christian times "there were no states".
So the Roman Empire STATE passed her by, their tax systems, grain for poor, Mary& J went to Bethlehem for a census!

I can't remember them constantly hectoring & demanding apologies from Johnson's govt for increasing taxes,not delivering on ANY manifesto promises. Or demanding apologies from Farage & Tories for Brexit.

To any one still harking on about a generic (but unworkable) wealth tax and the £10-15bn it might raise (it won't btw)...
...while you've done that, in 2 Budgets Labour have found over £65bn of tax rises annually, heavily skewed towards the wealthiest in society.
This is sensible, workable...

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

The media seems to have missed something crucial Lavrov said yesterday.
He said any change to the 28 point plan (surrender for Ukraine) would be a betrayal to the "anchorage agreement".
So there *was* an agreement made surreptitiously between 2 evil little men.

And Bloomberg just released a leaked conversation between Witkoff & Putin negotiator where Witkoff advises on how to flatter Trump so he is receptive to Russian demands.So a Russian agent is the 'neutral' arbiter for peace

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.
