It doesn’t really matter *why* Trump’s desire to destabilise & divide Europe precisely mirrors Vladimir Putin’s - whether kompromat, self-interest, naked bigotry or something else l. What matters is that Europe treats both regimes like the enemies of progress & democracy they so clearly are.

Tell you what Jim.

If the UK has been colonised by migrants, come back, pay your fucking taxes and support the country you purport to love.

No? What’s that? You’re happy in Monaco where they don’t impose personal taxes on their residents?

Funny that.

Tax dodging, unpatriotic racist.

Ratcliffe proves you can have loads of money and still be racist and stupid. Brexit supporter, tax avoider, recipient of British taxpayer state aid for his companies, although not the one he moved to Singapore causing British job losses. Of course he thinks Farage is intelligent. Absolute mug.

Jim Ratcliffe has not apologised, pls point out he has not apologised, that is not an apology

When you begin a statement with "I am sorry that my choice of language has offended some people..." you are absolutely NOT apologising. You are trying to excuse yourself.
Jim Ratcliffe has issued a bland and generic statement about economic policy which does not engage at all with what he got wrong, or why saying the UK has been colonised has been legitimately criticised. Nor does he seem to retract his language of colonisation in gesturing towards a semi-apology

Ratcliffe is where populism leads. To multimillionaires spouting ignorant racist horseshit that divides us but unites the far right in their cynical bid to exploit prejudice for power. Ratcliffe will just shrug from his tax haven home. He doesn’t care. Farage laps it up. Everyone else loses.

Unfortunately there are no consequences for this disgraceful behaviour. Radcliffe will still be a billionaire businessman. Farage will still be in our parliament and Trump is still President. 🥲.

Continued global heating could set irreversible course by triggering climate tipping points. Most people unaware

World is closer than thought to a “point of no return” after which runaway global heating cannot be stopped

Snowboard Cross is brilliant 😁
Absolutely love watching this - chaos and changing in seconds.
A bit like BMX racing 😁

The British public doesn’t ’foot the bill’ for immigration. The opposite. Immigrants foot the bill for Brits.

Absolutely disgusting decision from the IOC to ban Ukrainian athlete Vladyslav Heraskevych from the skeleton minutes before the event and remove his accreditation, effectively throwing him out of the athletes' village and Games, for wanting to honour his fallen comrades

Honestly we need to stop looking up to rich men.

And whilst we are doing that, can we stop platforming tax avoiders?

I see a benefit from a second chamber where experts in the fields of medicine, industry, environmental, scientific, social etc are elected to provide oversight of legislation drawn up by politicians. Clear out the existing HoL and start afresh.

No, Sophie Rigsbyski, this isn't the scandal of the century. £millions in dodgy covid PPE contracts, 100s of 1000s of unecessary deaths, Arcuri, Lebedev, £2000 rolls of wallpaper are the biggest scandals. Farage's close friendship with a rapist, pedophile, Epstein, Putin and Bannon is the biggest.

Very disappointed to hear BBC News' Gary O'Donaghue refer to the child abuse images within the Epstein Files as "child pornography".
That phrase was discontinued many years ago, because it's not pornography; it's child abuse.

If you’re in the Epstein files, you should lose your job, your wife, and your comfy life. You should be castigated by society and spend your days in prison, being trotted out once a day so the public can boo you to your face.
