Zelensky is no fool. He knows the score and he knows Trump is working for Putin.
Since the beginning of this travesty the Ukrainians have demonstrated remarkable courage, resilience and ingenuity.
So, the real question is, how is Zelensky using Trump’s charade to game Putin?

Poverty chants are a bleak staple of the festive schedule on Merseyside, but Everton are using them to promote a foodbank initiative

Just listened to Henry Riley on LBC demand the execution/imprisonment/deportation of an Egyptian/Brit for anti Zionist tweets, before telling his audience that they must ignore the homophobia, racism and Islamophobia of Brigit Bardot. 🤷

Pensioner poverty in the world’s sixth largest economy is a political choice

No person with a brain y vote for Farage….unless you’re 💯 misogynist like farage,
During a Mumsnet interview Farage 'stated that he believed a 3-month paid maternity leave period was "lunacy"'. He also expressed the view that employers would be reluctant to hire women who were likely to take maternity leave, suggesting that "no employer with a brain" would do so'

What will their excuses be?
Because there are more than enough homes for everyone if they & other owners refrained from boarding up their properties

Newly released documents from the 1992 "X case" show that Irish government officials were concerned that women who left Ireland to access abortion services overseas could face penalties when they returned.
Officials feared Irish women travelling for abortion could be prosecuted on return
In wake of X case and 1992 referendum, fresh restrictions - including injunctions on travel - caused concern

We look at countries like Norway and Ireland. They are similar in size. They run budgets, manage resources, and plan long term. We believe Scotland can do the same with the right powers in our hands.

Yes Frank.
They really need to up the game in taxing empty sites/spaces.
1% of site/building value after year 1
2% after year 2
5% after year 3
10% after year 4
20% OR CPO @ 60% of value after 5 years.
We have to free up the buildings/sites. No more hoarding. Use them or lose them.

So are they expecting the new owners to let them empty?
Or is it a case the new owners won't be cramming in as many tenants into them as previous?
Because the houses are not going anywhere .. unless the houses are also planning to emigrate
