Quite obviously Jared would be a top informal advisor role in the second Trump administration... even if he wasn't the president's son in law based on his impressive work at his dad's real estate firm which he absolutely would have done even if he hadn't been his dad's son

Just because Jared Kushner earned a living as a real-estate investor working at his father's Kushner Companies... and then took over the firm when his dad was jailed.. and then landed a load of profitable gigs after his father in law became president it does not make him a nepo

Jared Kushner has somehow found a place at Coalition of the Willing press conference with Scholz, Zelensky, Macron, Starmer and Witkoff.
Kushner has no official position in the US government.

Just read on Twitter that the latest pollster recording high polling votes for Reform was registered at exactly the same address as Reform. They quickly tried to change their address….. caught. This is why I don’t believe the Polls. They’re rigged to make you believe Reform are popular. They’re not

Only 6 in 10? Shows the division in views in the UK. A large section of the older population is fundamentally stuck in past and still thinks we can go it alone to our enormous economic cost. And they expect to be supported as they age by the impoverished state.

The UK PM has had a call with the PM of Norway today, ahead of the Coalition of the Willing meeting in Paris tomorrow.
The statement is a timely reminder of the importance of staying focused on protecting Ukraine - and, as much as we might not like it, the major contribution the US must make.

The idea that the West "dissolved its empires and colonies" would be news the thousands who died fighting to preserve imperial rule.
Besides that fact - British GDP grew only 54% from 1870 to 1913 (the apex of colonialism). But from 1970-2013 (the neoliberal era) it grew more than twice that: 123%
