This is obscene. Why can't other politicians say that?
The 25 richest families are collectively $358.7 billion richer than a year ago, with a combined fortune totaling $2.9 trillion.

People who would never make a stand for anything beyond money not only find it hard to believe others would, but despise how that realisation makes them feel about themselves.
Wild how people like this, just like russians, still can’t comprehend that the Revolution of Dignity wasn’t staged. It was Ukrainians choosing freedom over fear. Imperialists and small minds always assume someone else must be pulling the strings, because they’ve never seen a nation with a spine.

Nigel #Farage spoke in Parliament far less often in his first year than any other British party leader – and turned up to vote less often too.

Do I trust this recent transformation? Not yet
Will I offer grace to those who want to be done with toxic politics? Even those who once reveled in it? Yes
The road to redemption, however, is long and it must be travelled.
For MTG, the road requires her to be truthful about J6 and her role in it.
