The nub of the problem in the UK and across Europe.
Governments must increase defence spending because of the Trump-Putin Axis.
If governments increase defence spending, they will break commitments to fund housing, hospitals etc. which helps the Far Right gain support. news.sky.com/story/bluesk...

Increasing defence spending will mean government breaking promises elsewhere
Bringing up defence spending to 2.5% of GDP would amount to an extra £5bn-£6bn in cash terms, a figure that could easily eat up most of the chancellor's financial headroom.

Good morning and Happy Saturday to everyone who agrees that it's time for EVERYONE to wake up to the hard, cold truth that the richest man on the planet does NOT give a fuck about us, he only cares about himself.
Stop falling for his bullshit.

There are more than 10m children in school in the UK…but, per Times, 3,000 might move to state sector because of VAT rise…so Whitehall is “braced” 😲😲😲
Says a lot about UK media bubble, the way this story is reported.
You pay VAT on luxuries. Private schooling is that.
