Migrated from the hell hole and found it much better for my mental health here. I live a quiet retired life in rural Suffolk, UK with Himself who is finally working part-time in the wind down to retirement, 12 yr old arthritic dog, 2 cats and 6 chickens.

A good summary of what the budget means to us in 10 minutes. Easier to understand than listening to it in Parliament with the lame duck jokes and childish jeering.

In 2021 Good Law Project went for an Orwell Prize for uncovering the Covid PPE VIP lane - an issue which helped bring down the last Government. We didn't even get shortlisted - one of the judges was a Director General under the last Government working on... the Covid response. 😂
I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities.

Britain is one of the world’s richest countries. Why do a third of children live in poverty?
It is a political choice - years of austerity, real wage cuts, regressive taxation, unchecked profiteering, disappearance of social housing, hijacking of govts by corporations/rich.

Farage is speaking at Venue Cymru tonight.

Original development also received significant EU funding.
Farage, by contrast, will give Llandudno nothing but hot air and lies.

This is of course all true. But why did you box yourselves in with self-defeating red lines before the GE? Why did you vote for the Brexit deal & not abstain, which would have given you a much easier opportunity to call out the disastrous damage?

So the US was aware that the world thought the document was US endorsed, yet waited until now to clarify that it wasn't?
How could the US have communicated to Ukraine that they had to accept the proposal or lose US support without clarifying that the Russian proposal wasn't actually their proposal?
