US joins the group of rogue nations and basket cases that usually vote against UN resolutions in support of democratic Ukraine. Even authoritarian China abstained. Amazing how far the US has fallen under just a couple of months of Trump 2.0.

Barclays CEO pay up from £4.3m to £10.5m.
Real average pay of UK workers unchanged since 2008.
Govts tell workers pay rises are inflationary, but that doesn't apply to exec pay, dividends, exec pay, share buybacks.
Their profiteering is our inflation and poverty.
It is class war.

After it destroyed growth, destroyed communities, trashed public services & gave us all this far right backlash to deal with.
These smug rich men still saying Reeves should make the case for more cuts🤦♀️ #r4today
